Thanks for the article. I particularly enjoyed the following comment posted:


I’ve seen the data myself. Yes, universal helmet laws suppress the number of riders. But no, I’m not bothering to prove it to people who just sit on their butts and blow hot air.

Besides … why bother to pry open a closed mind that has no relevance? Couch potatoes don’t make the rules, so motorcyclists don’t need their consent.

Instead, I encourage all freedom-loving riders to take their rights back … and not to beg for them. At B4BS.NET, only those who ride decide.

Which reminds me: We never did get your position on helmet laws for adult riders. Should it be mandatory or voluntary?
