I was born in 1955 and also rode without a helmet, never gave it a thought,.Oh the naivety of youth.Even if I had the choice these days I wouldn`t go without one now. You eventually realise how fragile your nut is. mind you these two haven`t yet.  |

1953 for me and like few others able to ride helmet less but not very often always wore helmet on longish rides,was able to ride a 250 at 16 but my choice was a new BSA Starfire( no second hand ones they'd all exploded lol)wouldn't consider a Jap bike,they were crap weren't they  |
