i wear one because it is part of an agreement with my family members.
they know how i ride and want me to be safe.
i could easily jaunt around town w/out one and feel safe.
having said that...i also know from what i have seen that it is better to be fully geared in full preperation for what could happen.
i lost a friend this year (budwsr) that no amount of gear could have saved him from what happened.
he was less than a mile from home!!!
ATGATT.....no questions asked
