i bet all the people on here saying no to helmet law repel do not now or ever have been on a motorcycle they are just one of the people in the state that has to put there 2 cents in about everything I am not asking everyone that gets on a bike to not wear a helmet all I want is 4 everyone to leave me alone to my freedom of choice to not wear the helmet if I choose not too.
Sorry I got off on a bit of a rant before. Jim has the right approach.
1, Bikers ride because they love the freedom, the adventure, and being unique sure but it can become an addiction like any other. This libertarian bent is further shown in the desire not to be told what-to-do on what is felt to be a personal decision. What you love you protect.
2. Most bike riders after a few months consider riding on the street a privilege, and with a privilege comes responsibility.
To the many that is the responsibility to preserve themselves. Preserve themselves from not only the .01% of cage drivers that might be malicious, but mostly the bigger risk; those that fit in the ‘don’t know and don’t care’, the ‘I’m really busy so I can’t be expected to follow the rules’ crowd, or those with a chemical imbalance caused by something they ingested or just by being too tired to perform.
3. We won’t resolve this with a few letters on a page on one-of-a-million web sites but if one or two person on either side of the question really takes the time to know and FEEL the other sides concerns, it is all worth while.
