It's like being in a convertible. For a short time in Los Angeles in the early 1980's I could ride my motorcycle without a helmet. In high summer it's definitely "fun" to ride without a helmet, wind in your hair and all that.

I always thought it would be neat to have a designated "no helmet" highway with a dedicated motorcycle lane. Maybe 100 miles in nowheresville for riders to enjoy the ride. In that instance you could probably have restaurants and stuff at stops along the way. It could become a motorcycle-tourist thing.
