Personally, I think it should be the same way here. But many American's become fearful of loosing "the right to choose" which I find (IMHO - and no offense) is really stupid because for a lot of people, it's only a reason to complain about something.

Freedom is a broad subject and covers a lot of ground. Of all the things to get all upset over, I think that this is ultimately a minimal issue. Americans tend to be are really touchy about their rights and freedoms (sometimes rightfully so) but I see that for the most part, any infringements on them aggravates the underlying fear of loosing something greater which makes little issues like this much bigger than they need to be.

I like having multiple helmets to choose from; I look at them as adding something to the riding experience, and if it adds a layer of protection - fine. I really don't see the problem.



Freedom is freedom, no matter  how small.

Evidentally I am "really stupid" for valuing my liberties so you may want to disregard my prior posts.

Then you agree that it's just something else to complain about?? Because that's what I said - not that anyone's values were stupid.

Read more closely.

No, I understand what are you trying to say(i think, don't know much english  Grin ) No one likes to be unallowed of anything
 For example: we have a law for manditory lights on in winter time on cars, my friend keeps them off (even he's driving instructor) just in spite so other will be "smarter" than him and turn them on  Grin

motorcycles must have lights on all year  waytogo it's the law, but also keep us more visible

just think.  if they gave out free Ducatis or MVs with a hooker, no one would give a shit about helmet laws.

"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.

I'll donate the hooker to someone on the board but will keep the Duc/MV's.  Shocked

this one is a nice alternative when riding a cruiser or similar.  Have had two of them and they are DOT approved.

My face isn't much to look at, but I can't imagine grinding it on the pavement would improve matters.

My new helmet covers more.  Cool Granted with this type of helmet you hope you are grinding on the grass instead of pavement.

Helmets for bicycles are mandatory over here as well.  Undecided

But only for riders over 16 years of age, which I still don't understand. Riders under 16 don't get head injuries?
