"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

went to a bike show a few years ago and a large fellow was selling half helmets for around 40 bucks. for 42 he'd "add" a DOT sticker.

I wanted to ask how much for a snell sticker but thought better of it.

It blows my mind.

It's one thing for cans... another totally different thing for helmets.  I was unaware anyone was doing that.

Naturally these items can be misused.

Naturally, misuse is probably the point.

However, being able to replace damaged stickers is a helpful thing, depending on what sort of cop or DOT inspector you run across.

you don't understand.

he was ticketed for passing a school bus.

Turned out, there was no law on the books which made that illegal.

Do you really want to live in a world where courts can do whatever they want (as you've suggested) and charge people with made up crimes?  Really?



I am of the same mind. I would also add, a lot of laws are unnecessary and only convolute things. Often times, misguided laws end up having a deleterious affect on the citizenry it tends to protect...

**Not that this law is one of them

From "A Man for All Seasons"...

William Roper: So, now you give the Devil the benefit of law!

Sir Thomas More: Yes! What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?

William Roper: Yes, I'd cut down every law in England to do that!

Sir Thomas More: Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned 'round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man's laws, not God's! And if you cut them down, and you're just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake!
