In my humble opinon we get hot under the collar not about the actual removing of a helmet (it is not that big deal) but in a defence of a simple principle. We do not like to be told what to do by our mothers, bosses or governments for a reason that is a pure bullshit (like to prevent a robbery??? in that case). Long time ago Aristotle said that it is a human nature to disobey the laws that are not seen as necessary or reasonable. That is why we ride over 60 km/h limit on multilane roads with little traffic in perfect weather (that is my excuse anyway 
) . Simply having these stupid restrictions applied blanketwise makes no sense to us, so we ignore it and we think that we have a right to do it. Our little freedoms are getting taken away one by one - the guns for example because of the crime (how many criminals handed theirs in?). We are feeling f****d over and naturally rebel because it does not make any sense. And what real sense removal of the helmet makes when all the other disquises - hats, sunglasses etc. are OK? Banning them would affect to many and there would be an uproar, but few motorcyclists we can handle because they are going to take it.
So there. I do not mind taking my helmet off, but it has to be my own choice not someones stupid policy. If I am forced, I will resist instinctively even if it doesn't really matter.
