Agreed. Totally agree with Frank too, just another example of nanny gov't. If a biker goes down at 65 on the freeway, a helmet does little or nothing, only in the (rare) incident the only impact occured on the top of the head, with no spinal injury. If a biker wants to wear a helmet he is free to do so, if not, why is it anyones business but his? Doesn't mean he is stupid, maybe he enjoys it enough to merit the added risk. How can a (stupid) politician know what each biker values most? But if I as the gov't tell you its the law to wear a helmet, wear a seatbelt, use daytime running lights, etc, before too long you will give up any other rights I want to take.
As I've said before, I get wary when gov't tries to restrict others freedoms, else it may be my turn someday.
