Gotta be insurance lobbying.

What OSP said. I'll wear mine regardless, but if I decide not to, that should be my decision.

Exactly. Mine's gone up $10 a month in the last year. My last statement actually said something like "due to the higher rate of accidents on motorcycles of your make and model, rates have increased." Fuckers on gixxers. I've NEVER made a claim, yet I get to pay for everyone else's.

After the minon arrives and we buy karen a new vehicle I will prolly consolidate all the vehicles to one policy so we will see if that saves us some cash. The ins guys dont know about my gsxrs

Yep I'm also AGATT but do hate Uncle Sam telling me I have to...even though it's too bad some don't have the common sense to wear a helmet.

True unfortunately

Yeah funny when we get a ticket or have an accident 'the software' sure doesn't have a problem 'adjusting' it automatically.

Yep...of course on the flip side if I ran an insurance company I wouldn't want to pay out on someone because they didn't have enough sense to wear a helmet.
