I always wear one more for protection from bugs and rock hits than anything else. I had a rock or some unknown object hit square in the front of the helmet just above the shield once and it left about a 1/2" wide dent 1/8" deep. That would have stung a little square in the forehead at the least. Then later, had my rear ender accident that was 100% my own fault 2 miles from home and the helmet took a hit that would have been painful if not fatal. Here in Colorado we don't have the helmet law, and vast majority of riders, mostly the cruisers and Goldwing crowd don't ever wear a helmet, where most the sportbike riders do, but ride with shorts, flip flops ect.
