@Tim-Thompson we are all crazy, its why we live.
Last ride I got a huge bird in my helmet (i think young bird with first ‘flying lessons’ It broke - cracked my visior. Cant imagine what would be without.
Not to mention weather here demands to have full helmet. Not having the benefit of stable weather when it pures it really pures down. And more and more in summer we have strong hale on hot humid days

We are all aware what can happen on bike. But I am really surprised in US culture and regulations we look at things differentely. Its also true US drivers really obbay speed limits as cops are strict, here on bike we are wilder I am sure and still can get away with it.
Is it true that in Florida only sunglasses are a must on bike? Thx

Yup one can't certainly get hit by things. Certain big/hard bugs suck too. Ask me how I know.

As to weather... Meh... I can and have ridden in foul weather with either (half helmet or full-face) just fine. Hail... wouldn't want to ride in that no matter what I'm wearing.

There are many states that have little to no helmet laws. Florida doesn't require one if the rider is over 21 years of age and has appropriate insurance. My state - Maryland - requires a helmet. Pennsylvania, just to the north of me, doesn't require Helmets for those over 21 and has either two years of riding experience or has completed a motorcycle safety course approved by PennDOT or the Motorcycle Safety Foundation. Most states with lax helmet laws will still require some form of eye protection. Sunglasses usually meet the requirement.
