I haven't used a helmet on the motorbike yet, only had it a week. I ALWAYS wear one on my motorcycle. Also my life was saved twice on my motorcycles. I'm ordering one for the motorbike as I don't think the bicycle helmet will do any good.
helmet anyone?

Good advice! Thanks Marc. To any of the "bullet proof" he men a neighbor was in the kitchen making a sandwich and dropped the mustard jar. He bent and tryed to grab it. Jar exploded and a piece hit him in the side of his neck cutting a main blood vein. He was dead in under 4 minutes.
I heard that a man tripped on a crack in the sidewalk and broke his arm... we should make new laws that say EVERYONE must wear a helmet & full body pads while walking! 
Yesh! And we should all just stay home, watch T.V. and wrap ourselves in bubble wrap and hope a meteor doesn't land on us!
I was there when a guy in a pick up truck splattered his brains all over the freeway because he tried to roll up the passenger window while going 100mph, a helmet would have done no good.
I was there when the Amish guy fell off the hay wagon and landed on his face and he died within 10 minutes, his straw hat didn't help.
I was there when the kid who got hit in the temple with a stray golf ball died 15 minutes later....he didn't have a helmet on....
I rode 100 miles yesterday in my M/C and the only thing I got was fresh air.
Wear one if you want, don't if you don't.
Those who ride should decide.

BTW- I am not a "bullet proof he man".
I also am not a sheep.
We all take chances that others around us may think foolish or stupid.
People do all kinds of things WE personally wouldn't do...that's the beauty of freedom of expression....you may be offended by others freedoms, but you also may offend others with yours, or something like that.

I got a little concerned about my test bikes so I wear a helmet now. The engines won't cause a wreck but a wheel might fall off. I put them on and take them off so many times. One day Im going to run out with out a wheel nut.
If I'm riding in on the back roads I seldom wore one before. When i get these bikes finished and locked down (yeah right) I might stop. I really don't go any faster then a pedal bike by a good biker.

I am no he man but I am not a sheep wither it takes one time only to hurt yourself badly, I never liked the attune of NOTHINGS HAPPENED YET!!!!
my helmet saved me allot of headaches and after one week i was back on my bike with no broken bones, it ends up that my wrist was dislocated not broken.
The bike helmet i use does not imped my vision at all and i don't even notice it is there I am not trying to be peachy but I alway live and learn by my mistakes.
My wife and kids are very happy I had it on and in the end that is all that counts
Do as you please, but think of people around who care about you!
my entire point of this posting is that bike helmets do work!

Would you people PLEASE stop badgering others about wearing helmets!?!
We all know it's safer to wear one! (I really enjoy riding without one.)
If you really want to get on a high horse about being safe, DON'T RIDE TWO WHEELED VEHICLES AT ALL!
Seriously... STOP IT!
We've heard all of your arguments for them. you're right... but we still like to ride without them!
LET US CHOOSE!!!!!!!!!!

I wear a half helmet or skid lid as I have heard them called. They are light weight and still offers me some protection.
Here on Vancouver island it's the law and the snarlies (cops) don't have enough bad guys to chase so they make a BIG DEAL about it.I've riddin a motorcycle for 42 years now and I've had it save my head many times but it didn't affect my.....Wait ...what was I talking about?
Yawn, well I always wear my helmet, even in the bathroom! You never know when you might pass out, I mean fall a sleep, and fall into the bath tub. And there is always that chance of drowning if you are "rinsing" some bike parts in it! Later Tramp
