how would you feel about the govt. mandateing full leather wear to protect your body, or you must wear over the ankle boots, apropriate gloves and certian pants and jacket??? seat belts and helmets, these are just govt. controling the people, i am sorry but i dont need a big brother telling me what to do to protect myself, my mom and dad did that and now that i am an adult i will make up my own mind thank you. i am old enough to make my own mistakes and live with the consequences thank you. besides i read an article written by one of the founders of the agency that checks helmets and he was saying that a bicycle helmet is safer, a motorcycle helmet, if dropped once, is no longer of any value but a bicycle helmet can take several impacts and stay intact. so what he is saying is that, if you take a spill on your motorcycle and your head bounces more that once, the helmet isnt gonna do much (how many accidents have you seen that the helmet was split open, cuz the guys head bounced more than once?? granted it could have been his head that was split open, but still, shouldnt it be the riders choice??? seat belts?? shouldnt that be an adults choice?? go ahead and tell me to strap my child in, i or the child might not know better, but i am an adult, shouldnt i be old enough to decide what is right for me?? what if i have a phobia against such things, i know someone who has a slight case of clostaphobia and if she puts on a full face, she cant get out of it fast enough...phobia's???? i dont get it but they are real. the point is, I AM AN ADULT, i may not be smart enough to wear a helmet or a seat belt but i am old enough to decide what is right for me and i dont need any govt. or big brother telling me!!!!!!!
