I know in FL that I don't have to wear a helmet riding on the street, but I must wear a seat belt when in my car?
In which wreck could I be hurt worse?
In a car w/o a seat belt or on a bike w/o a helmet?
To me, there is no reason to have a seat belt law and not have a helmet law.
Just my opinion...

As for what has the AMA done. Really.....this again???
The Shop
DeCal Works Huge Plastic Inventory of UFO and Polisport kits.
Luxon 4-Post Bar Mounts
$189.95 - $239.95
Get off your ass and YOU circulate the Petition.
I mean...damn...really?
Gee, "THEY" should fix EVERYTHING.
GFY.
Well.... for starters kids wouldn't be riding dirt bikes anymore if the AMA hadn't put a stop to the lead law ban, What the AMA does for the motorcycle community as a whole is tremendous and everyone should support them, While your at it support the NRA
:beerscheers:
Are you saying the AMA has done a bad thing
by backing right to choose?
From this post, I'm sure if I did have time to check out your ramblings, I'm sure I'd find several with the lack of quality and just plain stupidity of this one.
Please let me know what motorcycle organizations you are a member of, what you have done for the sport recently and what you plan on doing for the sport this year.
Oh, and another thing.......get off the AMA's ass. It may not be perfect, but it's the best thing out there and the really do have our interests at heart. Get involved, help change things or keep your mouth shut, understood?
Don't worry, in another week and a day, I'll be gone for another five years. When I come back in 2017, I'll have over 4500 motos under my belt and will have donated another 500+ hours and thousands of dollars to the sport so you can ride.
Way less than a tank of gas and a bargin at twice the price.
Some of you are actually in favor of a helmet law on a state or national level???
That seems pretty out there to me.
Are you also in favor of allowing communities to decide to not allow motorcycles into their communities? How about closing riding areas. Are you in favor of that too?
Where did I say that I am in favor for a helmet law? I think it should be the person's right to have a helmet on or not...as long as they carry a certain amount of medical insurance.
I always thought that the AMA was there to protect our rights as motorcyclist, and to preserve our riding areas.
Seems that you have let your love for the AMA cloud your vision in this thread. We get it....
Like the old muscle cars, sure, you can get insurance, at a thousand a month or something.
No, it's not right. Backdoor legislation.
Effin insurance companies are gonna own us one day if we let them.
2nd thing, the AMA is involved with all types of motorcycling.
The right to go without a helmet might not mean much to some.
But to a large segment of riders out there, it's a real big deal.
And before anyone says it's too dangerous and we shouldn't have to pay
for the special interest of a few, well, what's insurance supposed to be anyway?
There are many out there that would put us at the very top of the rate schedules if they could,
and get rid of us also. Careful what you wish for.
"Considering that is what THEY claim is their (AMA) responsibility...I suppose that is how the fck it is...."
The statement above looks to me like you were in favor of a helmet law. I stand corrected.
And the AMA does do their best to protect our rights and preserve our riding areas.
Pissy my ass. I am butter....
Sorry I wasn't clear enough with my post.
I retract my pissy comment, I suppose I was just being..... pissy.
Pit Row
70 feet thru the air at 60 mph is stupid also.
You agree with that way of thinking?
Why should I have to pay part of some guy's $1,700,000 hospital bill because he was too near sighted not to have medical insurance, but still choose to not wear a helmet...
You think the extra premium is gonna cover all the added expenses?
Heck no.
So when that 1 million dollar injury needs money, they go to Aunt June and the likes of her.
Unless you make the premiums for the "dangerous" activities something like 100,000 a year,
which is what the did to big hp cars, which is what could happen here.
Then what do we have?
Only the rich run?
Just remember people, when it comes to these laws it is a slippery slope. They are currently working on laws against talking on the phone in your car whether you're using a hands fee device or not.
With that logic, maybe evryone should be put down when they're, what say 60-65, before they start to drain the health budgets. Soylent Green anyone???
Alphado, it's about choice and keeping the government out of our lives as much as possible. I personally would not ride without a helmet, but I do not feel that's anyone's business.
