Glad to hear you passed the course. A motorcycle safety course is a requirement here in PA and I am all for it. The helmet requirment was lifted in PA, however, I would never ride without one. For the most part, the only people I see without a helmet in PA are those who ride bikes (HD and similar) where it is not considered "fashionable" and kids on sports bikes who throw caution to the wind. Its a personal choice but I put self preservation over vanity or "Freedom to ride".
