Why are people afraid to oppose unjust laws such as helmet laws?
I noticed a question in this forum that referenced my acts of civil disobedence in North Carolina in opposition to their helmet law. To set the record straight there are NO points against your license or insurance attached to the ticket for failure to wear a helmet. Furthermore the G.A. of NC has set the fine to $25 and court costs to $75; you pay court cost whether ot not you fight the ticket. Learn more at http://fastfreds.com/trips/cherokee/inde.

Motorcyclists that don't wear helmets do a great SERVICE to society because they have given life back to more people than any other category of person. Their organ donor record is superb. One dead motorcyclist can result in keeping four or so others alive, so theoretically it could be a positive thing not to wear a helmet, but I am concerned about the trauma caused to those around the motorcyclists - their kids, the other driver, the other family members etc.

You go right ahead and don't wear a helmet. I couldn't give a flying fig if you do or not because that's your right. But, if and/or when you get into an accident and get your brains splattered all over or are a parapalegic, you shouldn't expect the insurance company or the taxpayers to foot the bills for any of your medical bills becuase it was your own fault for not wearing a helmet in the first place.Can the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R seat two?

Trail riding, should I get a 2-stroke or 4-stroke?
Only bikers understand why other bikers choose not to wear helmets. Most people also don't know that helmets are only crash tested to 15mph. At an accident over 60, a helmet does little to no good.Plus, I live in Phoenix, AZ, where in the summer it can easily get over 115 degrees. Imagine wearing a full face helmet in that heat. Now just think, a new study comes out that says "Drivers who drive with their windows up and their A/C and vent turned off (so no airflow into the car) are most likely to survive in the event of an accident." Would YOU roll all your windows up, turn off the vent and the A/C so you can survive in the even of a crash? Can you imagine how unbarable that would be? But don't worry, it's for your safety.
