If you ride a motorcycle without a helmet, knowing that the chances of you sustaining a serious and expensive injury is substantially higher, do you still think that your coverage should be equal to safer riders?

Let me pass a little science on down the food chain here: Motorcycles aren't dangerous; when was the last time you heard about a motorcycle rider running into another motorcycle rider? Or, the last time you heard about a motorcycle rider who had suffered injuries due to excessive speed or racing, how old was he?
Thank you for being honest with yourselves on that one, kiddies! Look, here's the deal; experienced (two or more years of daily driving on two wheels) will educate even the slowest of those able to fool an examiner into obtaining a state-issued license on the real perils of operating a motorcycle safely! The real issue, people, isn't the rider, IT's The Other Vehicle Operators!!!!!
Next time you're out on the road & actually driving, try to count &, Equally important, ascertain where each & every rider you pass is in relation to you & your vehicle, just for one day! Then you'll realize how easy it is to miss us, to hit us, to disregard our very existance & how even easier it is to hit us & just keep F*+%ing going & that's the scariest out of all the experiences we suffer through every day on two wheels. Once we've had our obligatory spill or two, we know how to properly 'lay our bikes down' in a sort of controlled slide fashion but when you people don't give us any regard for our very existance, well, it's enough to almost justify biker road rage, of a silenced caliber kind!!

.....States with helmet provisions require helmets for persons under stated age limits (usually 18 years old) and for persons with motorcycle permits.
FLASH! .....There has been a change in the status of the Helmet Law in the State of Texas. Texas will now be grouped with the States with helmet provisions. It is my understanding that Texas has some very stringent provisions. I will bring them to you here when I have the full story!
FLASH! FLASH!..... Kentucky has also entered the ranks of States that can ride without a helmet, after meeting certain requirements as set out in the law..

No. Personally, I would not ride or drive a motorcycle because my protection from outside forces is too dangerous for me to consider. I see your point, and I agree with your question. Problem is, you wouldn't catch me on a motorcycle with or without a helmet, no way - no how. Nobody has any protection for any part of their body on one of those things.
Sorry, but I think motorcycles should be outlawed.

Yes, but you know the non-helmet wearers would tell the insurance company they wear them to save $$ and have better coverage. I think it is insane not to wear protective gear.

I think not accepting the given regulations will make you very silly and idiotic, because once death arrives, the dead is the one guilty. So safe riders shouldn't be compared to ignorant riders. That's all.

Of course your coverage should be the same, but you might end up paying higher premiums

No. Statistically unfair.
