The ABATE group finally got the law passed that you could ride helmetless if you had at least $10,000 worth of health insurance. The person that lead the charge for ABATE was a lady who was very vocal about it. As her bad luck would have it, a week after the law was repealed she slid the bike and rammed her head into a curb and died...... Karma?
I'm a long time rider and believe in ATGATT...... All the gear all the time...
I'm a wuss though. I hate road rash and bleeds in my brain.. no fun..
