I seldom wear a helmet since Chillinois (like Califunny) allows at least that little bit of freedom of choice. The object is not to crash and thun need the brain bucket. Here's something a compatriot of mine on the FIDO cooking echo posted a couple years ago. I dunno where he got it as he is well known to be a total wuss (thinks jalapenos are scorching hot). But, it's great when coming in after being out plauing in the snow and ice. Or in a thermos to take ice fishing.
