  As a motorcyclist for over thirty five years and 19 bikes, several accidents, both with helmets and without, I believe in helmet laws.
Although I started riding without a helmet, as there was no law then, I'm glad that laws were passed that FORCED me to wear a helmet.
If there hadn't been, I'd probably be dead or a permanent drooler today.
  Any kid can walk into a dealership today and buy a motorcycle cabable of doing nearly 200 mph.  I don't really care if these young guys kill themselves, but if they become droolers, I end up paying for their long-term care.
