Default Helmet poll

Seems like this poll would have been done before, but I did a search and didn't find anything. What is your primary helmet choice? If you normally go lidless, but wear a helmet in bad weather then pick no helmet, etc...

Here in Ohio, we are not required to wear one if you've had your endorsement for over a year and are over the age of 18. I usually still wear one anyway, though. (DOT approved half helmet)
