I know several idiots that ride with helmets. It’s not exclusive.
hey, for the huge budget “crisis” we have going on, a little extra revenue is ok for now.
Let the good times roll! >:-}
The law has so many fees and madatory provisions that it makes a mockery of the concept of “helmet-free.”
What, no pork subsidies?
Unless and until Michigan legislature understands and embraces the importance of motorcycle accident prevention instead of motorcycle accident survival, the citizens of the Water, Winter Wonderland will continue to twist in the wind with absurd legislation such as this.
As an interesting aside, prior attempted repeals have made it through the state House and Senate, only to be vetoed by the socialist, myopic Governor Jennifer M. Granholm (who was born in Vancouver, British Columbia).
The only idiots out their are idiots who drive cars and hit bikers when was the last time you heard of 2 motorcycles hitting each other? only idiots drive cages.
Most pitiful thing I ever saw......
I was sitting in a turn lane when a minivan pulls up beside me. Dude in the van is looking over at me and my chopper. I could see his wife’s mouth running ninety miles per hour but he wasn’t listening.
He looked up and down my bike and didn’t notice his light had turned green. His wife reached over and knocked him in the head and pointed at the light. He turned red with embarrassment and I could have sworn I saw a tear run down his cheek as he drove away.
Hmmm.
Darwin type weed-out AND requires that the a$$holes post bond for their stupidity.
Works for me.
LOL!!
Back when I was a kid, I guess we’ll call it the Ice Age what with all the global warming goin’ on, just about every kid had a trike and then a bicycle to ride.
Then, we were told of all the injuries, especially head injuries, caused by kids having too much fun on these dangerous toys. Did we hear from all these injured kids? Did we hear from all the parents of these kids? NO!
We heard from the nannies that there was this epidemic of crashes happening. So, every kid was REQUIRED to wear a helmet.
Not only has the number of kids riding bicycles decreased, but the fun of riding (pedaling) is gone. All thanks to people who want to protect us from ourselves.
I don’t know about you, but I’m gonna die. No three ways about it. If I die on my motorcycle, thank God I was doing what I love to do.
We also need tort reform.
