Something Steve and I talked about today w/ regards to the helmets. It is infringing on our rights, however, it sucks that some of those that choose not to wear the helmets put a strain on MY pocketbook. Thousands and thousands of dollars of medical bills that can't be paid - so it falls to the taxpayers. So you know, that kind of makes me think I have the right to say what you should wear. So maybe - to NOT wear a helmet, someone should have to show proof of driver safety (such as MSF class), driver experience (2 years of experience w/ a bike), being over 21, AND proof of medical insurance or ability to pay.
