    I wear my lid most all the time. I make an occasional rip around the yard without it but thats it. I do strongly believe that in a place where helmets are required (such as Haspin) or any other public/private area that requires them, there should be absolutely no qualms or bitching about it. Put your lid on and ride, or dont even get on the machine.

    This is well stated - if it's a rule, do it and don't complain about it - it's a rule! But if you are on your own property cruising your utility macine on your trails knowing what you are getting into - it's your choice, and no body should tell you what to do. There's a big difference cruising around your local trails on your Big Red and Ripping the trails (wheather you know them or not) on your 250R, 350X, 200X or even your Big Red! - People need to make smart decissions, and common sense is a must - my question is, why doesn't anybody have any anymore?
    RIP - Yamahondaman!! You will never be forgotten!
    RIP - Sam Brehm!! Gone but NEVER forgotten!
    RIP - Sandpuppi101 - You will live on in my mind - I miss you friend!

    They can come on over where I go. Nothing but cliffs and holes all over the road. I would like to see them tear up anything when they are tipping over into a washed out rut with no way to get to the side because of all the prickly pears all over. Not to mention all the rocks hidden by a very fine layer of dirt. That will knock some of that common sense into them. That and bring me some happiness.

    So many idiots that can't ride a motorcycle, so few hours to put my boot in their seat!
    Myeh heh heh heh heh!!!

    thats the same way i am now...back when i just had my old 200s i never wore a helmet...not cause i thought it was cool i just didnt have one and didnt see a reason to wear one....but since i started reading what you guys have been saying on here for the past couple years and i got my 350x...i bought me a brand new helmet and wear it 99% of the time other then little rips around the yard
