The helmet law specifies that if you don't have a minimum of 10,000 worth of health insurance, you must wear a helmet. But the cops don't pull you over to ask. Especially in Miami. They have too many other things to worry about.

Just Dave summed up everything I was going to say, he clarly stated all that is important. I also 2nd the sport bikes (obvious reasons in my opinion) Another thought is why wouldn't you want to wear your helmet? My brothers and sisters here know why I would ask such a question, you do not really want to know why although you should.

I have to recommend a helmet in Miami and Broward, the new arrivals are dangerous drivers, not on purpose, just because they are ignorant, also in Palm Beach, the Q tips and blue hairs will run your *** over in slow motion and not even know it.

I have never had a problem with the cops. But my friend, who is black, wears no helmet and has a GSXr (with a paint job done by a wagners house sprayer) gets pulled over quite often...can't figure that one out yet.

I heard on the news last week that for a couple of days 49 of the 50 states were reporting snow on the ground, which meant that all 50 states had people driving 30mph on the highways.

agreed with master blaster about being careful of the q tips ...


I was just writing into weston town center ... this old lady was coming to work in the opposite direction emerging into the same parking lot entrance ...
I to the dojo want to make sure she saw nothing drastic ... the old bitch actually gotten behind me and start following me in flashing her lights on and off. I laughed like Hell.
