Are the motorcycle TV show doing a big disservice?

My question is, they normally show bikers riding without helmets and bad mouthing having to wear a helmet.

Most of my riding back in the day was on dirt bikes and I would not normally ride without one. I have to admit putin around the campsite I might go without just to show off for the girls.

Add to that the antics of standing on the seat, wheelies, burnout, donuts, etc.
What are the chances that someone with no previous riding experience except a few short trips on the big cruiser he bought a month ago sees this and decides to give it a try?

Do any of you riders out there who live in states without helmet laws ride normally without one?

Whew... four posts by ten A.M., I got to cut back on the caffeine
