For years being in OH I road without helmet in shorts and T-shirt usually in tennis shoes. I cannot imagine riding today (NJ state law) without full gear, but I've gotten older and wiser. ------Original Message------ From: Kurt Nolte Sender: nighthawk_lovers@googlegroups.com To: nighthawk_lovers@googlegroups.com ReplyTo: nighthawk_lovers@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Motorcyclist Killed While Riding WithoutHelmet to Protest New York Helmet Law Sent: Jul 4, 2011 12:11 PM
In most cases, if you survive the accident but don't have/ have enough insurance, the state is paying for your hospital tab... Wrecking a motorcycle doesn't just affect you. Wrecking a car (even single-car collisions) doesn't just affect you. There really are very few choices and actions you can take in daily life that -only- affect you, relative to how many people think only affect the chooser. -Kurt On Mon, Jul 4, 2011 at 12:07 PM, Javier Garcia <jajgar...@gmail.com> wrote: +1 on James argument. I think exactly the same way. I wouldn't go to the store without a helmet, but I am totally against the law that require it. I am the only one getting damage by not wearing it, so why it has to be mandatory? here in MD they are increasing the fines for not wearing the seatbelt by quite a lot, plus giving you points...
