I don't know if this is common else where, but I've noticed something. Mind you, this doesn't happen all the time, but often enough for me to take notice. I live in MN which thankfully is not a helmet-law state (I get sick of government intrusions). Personally, I wear mine every where I go...even if I'm going to my friend's house 1 mile away on back roads. Kind of like seat belts, it's just something I'm in the habit of doing.

Anyhow, I've noticed that non-helmet wearers are always very quick to point out that they don't wear one whenever they're around someone who does. And it'll come up out of nowhere! No conversation leads to it...they just feel the need to point it out. It's kind of funny to me. Anyone else ever notice this?
