YES! (if they were really safety checkpoints: a place to voluntarilly pull in and actually inspect and correct serious safety problems, where they have a mechanic, spare parts, food and drinks, safety equipment at discounted prices and comfortable facilities to rest and NO CITATION BOOKS)
But as long as they are just looking to profile bikers and line the pockets of government over minor crap that isn't really safety related, ABSOLUTELY FREAKIN NO!

NO! and now North Carolina is considering doing away with the annual safety inspection requirement of ALL motor vehicles. Can you believe it?

Right, but just how many of us crying "No!" are willing to write your Congressman and put a stop to this growing practice?

Just add more emphasis on right of way awareness would be a start.
The best way to reduce accidents is to prevent/reduce the bad habits that cause them. IMHO
