agreed on all points. But the laws aren’t really about motorcycle safety in my opinion.

It has been the purpose of government to recast free exercise of liberty as an infringement upon society that needs strict regulation. That is an affront to all who wish for liberty.

It is why our founding fathers envisioned limited government.

Just words man ~ and I know we can find most of the folks who don't like motorcycle helmet laws out there railing against I69/I35 in Texas, or the lease of the Indiana tollroad to an investment company.

And why? Well, they don't like toll roads.

Might sound farfetched but tollroads usually PROHIBIT motorcycles during specific hours of operation.

You can't do that on an interstate all that easily.

Noting that some tollroads are private property, I think that's behind the negatory response when it comes to the idea of building your own private road.

It's another instance of folks wanting a government subsidy yet not wishing to pay for it themselves. And you can't take that and spin it into a cry for liberty guys ~ does not compute. You want the free highways you gotta' pay the price through rules.
