DISCLAIMER: I currently own four motorcycles (and three helmets). I would never discourage anyone from choosing to wear a helmet while riding.

I will tell you this. Riding without a helmet makes me a better, more cautious rider.

I would warn other riders about the very REAL (and equally false) sense of a level of invincibility one gets when wearing a helmet while riding. The increased level of protection one receives is marginal at best.

There as a theory once posited about this when it came to cars. It goes something like..."If cars had a non-collapsible steering column with a blunt point sticking a few inches out from the steering wheel hub, There might be fewer accidents on the road"
Just one of those interesting ideas that would never happen.
