But I think it is up to each person to decide for themselves if they want to wear a helmet or not.

Do what you want on your own private property. When you use public streets you do what you're told under the law and as a condition of your operator's license.

I refuse to be liable because you refused to wear a helmet. I'm not subsidizing anyone's idiocy but my own. The same goes for fools not wearing seat belts. They are parasitic takers.

It's not like these anti-helmet types have the riches of a Malcolm Forbes to truly pay their own way after an accident.

Their "freedom" stance is a fraud.

Oh really? I think you must be a little behind the times...Most Harley owners now are uber rich weekend warriors who have plenty of money to keep the Harley Davidson company afloat. I wear a helmet but I despise people who insist on telling me that I have to do something that really is an option. When did freedom become a fraud? Enjoy your night. And watch out for the big bad biker parasites. They might take issue with your comments.

Statists are frauds. Enemies of the Constitution.

Your assertion that helmets prevent Traumatic Brain Injury is in error. There is no evidence and in fact if one understands that rotational acceleration is the mechanism you begin to understand why. I can’t understand why “unprejudiced” conservatives assume bikers are knuckledragging hillbillies.

How would me not wearing a helmet make you liable? Unless you did something stupid. In that case you should be liable, whether I am wearing a helmet or not.
Simple way to avoid liability, drive safe, and do not do something stupid.
