actually in many (most?) states motorcycles are not part of the no fault insurance system. So this will have no effect.

Besides, do people realise that FMVSS 218 which established helmet standards only goes up to 15 mph?

Most accidents are the result of the automobile? Riders who get into accidents are usually riders with less than 6 months of experience and have no MC endorsement (aka motorcycle license).

Also federal motor vehicle safety standard 218 has NO, ZIP, NONE standard regarding neck stresses.

just a few trivia points.

That's true! I had a GF that wrecked $20K of nice Harley hardware in 3 weeks. After I helped keep company with her through a left broken arm and right broken leg, I deftly stepped aside and back. She almost went down a canyon. I suppose she's still the same sort of firecracker:) Not with me, though. I just don't need that sort of load.
