I carry my helmet in my saddle bag. If conditions warrant, I put it on.

Same with my seat belt, if traffic is heavy or weather deteriorates, I put it on.

I'm an adult, I have the ability to assess the situation for risk.

I despise the nanny state....I really do.

Give the government an inch....guess what?

Recently in Texas, they passed a no refusal law for holiday weekends. In other words, if your suspected of drinking and driving, the government WILL take your blood...on the spot, without a lawyer present.

This now has morphed into every weekend, now all the time, to license and insurance checkpoints.

It will continue on until the government can stop citizens any time, with or without probable cause.

Our liberty to travel from point A to point B are slowly fading.

IIRC, we've had that here in MN for years. (and not just on holidays) Here they call it "implied consent" . Nice Orwellian ring to it.
