Helmet?
Yeah, I wear a helmet. It's required by Nebraska state law. I would wear one regardless though.
Here in WI it isn't so very few people wear them. People cling to the false "freedom" it supposedly takes away.
Yep, Gravel is a bikers worst enemy!
My cousin lost it on a turn with his Suzuki 1100 thanks to gravel... they both survived, thankfully.
About the only thing worse are those open-grate metal bridges in rain or snow - done both!
Black ice is especially scary. I used to ride my Suzuki almost rear round when I first got it. I rode one winter afternoon that was warm, except there was a spot where some trees blocked the sun on a rode near my place. The rest of the road was dry, except for a 50 foot section of road that was all black ice. I didn't see it untill I was upon it. I remember putting both feet down to keep the rear end from fish tailing. I don't ride when it gets cold anymore though. Luckily I've never encountered an open-grate bridge yet.
I've never hit black ice on the bike, but did once in the car... talk about a wake up call! 
In this gawd-forsaken state (WI) we can and have had snow from October to through mid-May... but then we can have 60's-70's in "Winter"... it's enough to drive one just a tad more nuts than usual.
