Helmet 100% of (riding) time. Mandatory by law (25-some yrs so far), and stiff fines for those who don't comply.
I'd wear one even iif it weren't compulsory, I suppose. :thumb:
Funny enough, despite law, there are some zones here (the South, especially) where everyone rides WITHOUT helmet, because if you wear one you are easily mistaken for a criminal going for a robbery or a shooting. :o (your face can't be seen)

I live in a backwards little town.  Two of the gas stations don't have the pay at pump option!  AND, the third closes early.  Needless to say, I don't feel like getting ungeared to pump three gallons of gas, so I always feel a bit conspicuous going in with the helmet on.  :laugh:

100%

Like I said to a helmetless harley rider a while back:  $10 lid for a $10 head.   :laugh:

Roadrash isn't nice either, so make that 100% leather gear 100% of the time.  Healing to your sheets is no fun.   ;)
Every zero you add to the tolerance adds a zero to the price.

If the product "fails" will the product liability insurance pay for the "failure" until it turns 18?
