I live in a state that only mandates helmets for those under age 18, but I'm an :atgatt: kinda guy who favors full-face, modular helmets. I took to heart the study showing where most people's heads hit the ground in wrecks. Of course, I've only been riding motorcycles/scooters since 1967, so what do I know?

Yes, that is my scooter.
Yes, I wear a helmet and a FIRSTGEAR armored jacket.
No, I'm not embarrassed to be seen riding it.
Yes, that is an NRA sticker on the fender.

Great info, thanks for posting.

Another very interesting article, albeit very detailed and lengthy, can be found at:
