Helmet or no helmet is old. This is the new stuff.

Most posts require reflective vests/belts be worn while on post. Many rider I saw stop outside the gate and put it on/take it off too. I know I did. Not cause I didn't want to be "reflective" but my gear is already reflective, so why put on a restrictive belt or a ghey flapping vest.

And I know in the guard they cannot deny life insurance if you weren't wearing proper gear on a bike or seat belt in a car, as long as you are not on orders.

I think they do, but NJ is prolly corrupt.

I wear a full face helmet regardless of the law or insurance rates.

Plus 3.

The correlation between helmet wearers and motorcycle insurance rates is minimal at best.

I don't think helmets make that much difference in rates but I have no problem wearing mine.

The only times I road without one was at bikeweek at low speeds.
