Very well said.

I don't agree with helmet laws either. The only problem is that the people without ahelmet have the same insurance that I do. When the helmet law was repealed in FL my insurance went up.

Glad to see he is ok! Hopefully the leg comes around too.

Cool that your buddy survived.

Helmet laws do suck- if you're so worried about getting hurt (or killed), stop riding motorcycles.

true... but when they allow people to sue for basicly being an idiot... like law suits against the home owners by the crook who broke his leg when he broke in to their house... ect... you gotta cover your ass... the government too.

I really don't care... if the government wants to tell me that I need to wear a helmet... great... your an idiot if you don't. and I understand everyone saying that the government should regulate my choices... but the fact remains driving/riding... is a PRIVLEGE... not a right. so the requirements for so are part of accepting that privlege. if you don't want to wear a helmet or wear a seatbelt... don't ride a bike or in a car. Period.

Logic: fail.

That's like saying if you don't want spam, just never open your inbox! Simple right?? hahahaha

Just because the government DOES something doesn't make it a good idea. Learn to think for yourself.

think of it this way... how does the government take away your license? because it's a PRIVLEGE they allow you to Drive or Ride on their roads... so they have the RIGHT to determine what requirements you must meet to get that Privlege.

take Zoomies track... she can invite us to ride on her track... but she has final say as to what requirements we have to meet. if halfway through the day she wants us all to ride in Pink leathers... she has the right to request it... if we don't... she has the RIGHT to boot us off her track.

and give me a break... I'm not saying everything the government does is a good idea... I'm just saying that in THIS case they're not taking away a right. they're making more requirements for you to utilize a PRIVLEGE.
