went to idaho today for a trip to the lake...never seen so many idiots in my life. idaho doesnt have a helmet law. so everyone you see is riding around without a helmet..even the ones from washington. they have their helmets strapped to their bikes but didnt use em

RE: idiots
 

sounds like wisconsin, indiana and illinois.

RE: idiots
 

I still would never, ever, vote for a helmet law though.

+Ohio...

RE: idiots
 

plus 1. its their saftey not mine. so if they wanna risk their lives go right ahead

RE: idiots
 

we dont have one here in cowhampshire either... id say 1/20 wear them, but on the other side... we have very few bike accidents and almost no fatalities. you also see a chit load of those "motorcycles are everywhere" bumper stickers, so id say its not realy a problem.

RE: idiots
 

and big +1 on the not voting for a law mandating it.

im 100% for freedom, if it can hurt someone else, then there should be something to govern it i.e:drunk driving, firearms, logging etc... but if it can only hurt you i.e: helmets, seatbelts, cigarettes etc... then it should be left alone.

No helmet law in Montana either

RE: idiots
 

I wouldnt vote 4 one either butnothing reallyaffects just you. all it takes is one idiot screaming through town or rippin a wheelie down main st to have the popo crack down on every biker in sight andwhen some dude (orlady:D)faceplants at 20mph with no helmet and needs 100,000 or more in reconstructive surgery when they coulda walked away wearin a lid. that effects us all when our insurance goes up and gives congress another reason to try to shut us down alltogether. not to stereotype but around here about 90% of sportbikers wear helmets and prob only 10% of crusiers wear em wonder if its a look cool over saftey thing
