I've been riding for a while and have traveled extensively in states where there are no helmet laws. Whenever I am on an interstate highway I take advantage of the freedom to ride without my helmet. On two lane roads - I seldom go without - the other drivers are just too unaware for my safety. I agree that the problem is not motorcyclists but others who don't pay attention to what they are doing as they drive. Since I've started riding I am 100% more aware of bikers. I wish others would follow suit. I applaud this change -it is about my freedom to chose. I'll take advantage and ride sans helmet when I can.
