Let's try this then shall we? You make a country-wide announcement that people need to curb their tendency to use cellphones while driving and to use them more responsibly. No laws, just you asking the general public to be responsible.
do I need to describe how that would turn out?
Sorry, but people <i>can't</i> be trusted.
Baddog.... Most states do have helmet laws of some sort though, but whatever. As for the windsheild, I'm 6'4".... a windshield that high looks retarded on a bike, in my very humble opinion. If I still rode I'd be going with the helmet.
At least I got a few years of good riding in, and got to enjoy a few pairs of ear-warmers before the damn brainbucket laws came in. :D
