Default R.I.P. Richard James Quigley WOW just now seen this

http://www.santacruzsentinel.com/arc...es/01local.htm

Richard James Quigley, a biker who became a local folk hero by wearing a baseball cap in defiance of the state's motorcycle helmet law, died over the weekend from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. He was 63.

I like this quote of his ...

"The wind doesn't care what you're wearing, why should the state?""It's all about personal freedom. It should be our right to choose"

RIP. I read a lot about him and how he beat the laws when I had an unresolved non dot helmet ticket. We lost a real fighter unfortunately...

Sorry to hear it...Goes to show the helmet cannot save you from dying for a thousand other reasons in life, but stops some from living the way they might like while there here...... This guy had someballs, and lived it anyway and was not just talk! For that he will always be respected.

Too bad. California lost a great crusader against the helmet law. Hopefully, all his work won't go unfinished.
