I always wear one. I don't even feel comfortable on my bike without a helmet and gloves. Depending on how hot it is here in Texas, I may not wear my jacket. But, I always wear long pants, my helmet and gloves. I don't care if I'm going 10 feet or 10 miles. I'm a firefighter/paramedic for the Dallas Fire Dept and trust me...I've seen more than my fair share of riders on the pavement looking like ground beef....both dead and alive. Not only that, I have to work on the alive ones that are barely living. Me personally, from that standpoint of what I do for a living, I think it should be a law. If seatbelts are a law for cars, so should be a helmet for motorcyclist.
