You mean that "DOT" sticker on them is a fake?! The horror!
   
  I just moved from a "non-mandated helmet" state and at least 85% did not wear helmets. I have taken one too many stones or bugs with the visor open to even WANT to ride w/o....maybe I am a wimp? Although, I loved to see the folks riding around with their "certfied" doo-rags when the temps were in the lower 40s F. I would often imagine their frontal lobe as a slushie.
