Are "no helmets" still an option in the land of the free & the home of the brave?  That "medical exemption" escape clause was rescinded in Oz sometime in the late 70s/ early 80s from memory.

We're all adults (even 'though I'm frequently accused by family of behaving otherwise), so apart from the drain on national fiscal & medical resources of road trauma, does the "own risk" rule still apply in other jurisdictions?

I've been likewise culpable myself, with rare & occasional "easy rider" wind-in-the-hair cranial nakedness around the farm & the odd bush track.  Justifiable on the premise that I'm assuming responsibility for my own personal idiocy & irresponsibility.

Full face for me. :thumb:

Too many miles with the old jet style. Sick of black eyes from bumble bees, black eyes from kicked up stones, wind burn, shredded face from hail, eyes full of fruit flies.  Yeah, full face rule! :thumb:
