No helmet law in Illinois, don't have a bike anymore but I have rode alot, and mostly with a full face helmet. I kind of feel naked without one. I have rode without a helmet many times. I always say that if a person rides a bike alot, someday that bike is going to fall over. Somehow, someway, it is going to fall over. Might be in your driveway, might be on the road. I hit a deer about 20 years ago. I was going around a curve and all of a sudden I saw two deer standing in the road. It was in November so I was dressed very thick. I went flying off the bike and my full face helmet hit the pavement both on the face and on the back of the head. I always wonder what my face and head would have looked like after my face and back of my head bounced off the pavement. The deer died on the side of the road. And I had a sore body and ankle for a few weeks.
