Its always a first to wear a helmet when you ride a motorcycle. but i have noticed here in the Philippines that a lot of riders, especially the young ones do not wear any helmet or any protection at all when they ride. motorcycle owners here are growing rapidly, everywhere you go you will see them. most of them even tune their bikes to go faster. but its very sad to see that the police do not aprehend riders without helmets. i think its second nature here to not wear a helmet. people should put safety first right? like when you get in a car, you could never go wrong wearing a seatbelt. so do you give way to comfort and sacrifice your safety?

The helmet is a absolute MUST ..i have an Dirt track bike ..and made a jump once ...it was OK ..but I was going too fast and the landing was a little rough ..and I hit my head on the steering bars,Good thing for the helmet...or i'd have room for another eye right now ;))

yes its a must to wear helmets if you love your life. sometimes it really cant save you, one thing happened here, he's in full riding gear, but he was crashed by a ten wheeler truck even the helmet was crashed, you dont want to see it, it's really not good picture to see. but on day to day basis, when riding bikes always wear helmets even if it's not a law.
