I rode dirt bikes mostly, but occasionally a road bike. I always wore a helmet, and feel like something is missing if I don't have one. I get that it's a personal choice, I just don't understand making that choice.

I already consider MB to be about the worst place around to ride a bike because of the tourist, but this guy wrecked all by himself. I'm not saying a helmet could have saved his life in this particular case, but there's a ton of motorcycle deaths in this area every year where it could have.
