I hate helmet laws. But I wear a helmet. Should be your choice.

As far as loud pipes. Mine are pretty loud but I'm not racing them through town or revving my motor at every traffic light hoping someone notices me. Some guys ruin things for everyone else.

Mass sucks anyways so who cares-maybe if you all hit our heads you will learn to talk right LOL! I mean what the hell is a honder and Toyoter anyways? You should worry about the state inspections more than anything. I oversee the repairs for the Mass state vehicles and that state inspection is just crazy! don't know how people can afford to keep older vehicles on the road up there?

I doubt they will change the helmet law, but I wrote to my area Rep and Senator as well. The Senator said he would take it into consideration if it comes before the Senate. Nice for him to reply. But I still doubt there will be any change.

Well I'm glad to know that if I ride through Mass I won't be required to wear a Helmet since Illinois does not require me to wear one !
