Good find.

we need to enforce helmet laws if for no other reson but to save lives not through them a way if people want to stupid them let them for there will be one less dumbass on the road. and if we think about it what if that person got drunk made it home by the grace of god and ponders for a moment and says oops i forgot the beer gets in his car and hits a motorcycleist he would most likly be so drunk any way that he would not stop and that motorcycllist would in the hospital or worse as a safety minded club what should we do about this and how do we get laws changeed to better the motorcyclist out there. i say this if we unite and with other motorcyclists in the lower 48 states maybe just maybe we can change the laws for the better

+1 on helmet laws! I don't care if it is a personal decision, it has been proven that helmets save lives and thats that.

And the fact that 2008 was the deadliest year for motorcycles and yet the safest year for cars doesn't surprise me either.

The over 40 cruiser crowd keeps moving up, actually the cruiser crowd in general is moving up. Bar hopping, and having a trendy chopper are doing it.
