Since the thread can't remain open without turning into a WWE cage match, I'm closing it. Gentlemen, agree to disagree and move on. The choice as to whether to wear a helmet or not is an individual one, and if you want to smack your skull onto the pavement unprotected, that's your choice. Helmet or no helmet is apparently that divisive a topic. The zealotry is not limited to just one side of the debate, either. If you want to continue this discussion, take it to A&S.
