Most motorcycle riders wear helmets because it is a smart thing to do and it makes sense. Especially if you are going to get on it a little and push the envelop of the bike and your own riding skill level. However I am of the opinion that we have helmet laws to protect dumb people from killing themselves and so we make everyone including the smart people wear helmets.

Personally, I have ridden motorcycles over 100,000 miles and own many many bikes, but what bothers me is when someone tells me I have to wear a helmet. Why? Because they think it is dangerous to ride a motorcycle? That is silly indeed and just because we are trying to help ignoramouses from killing them selves everyone has to wear a helmet because it is the law? What we are really saying here is we want to force laws on people to make us all feel good.

The truth is that if stupid people who should never buy a motorcycle end up killing them selves then isn’t that a positive thing for society? Doesn’t that really help the gene pool? I think people ought to get a license to have kids and then maybe we would not have so many dumb people out there doing stupid things and voting for dumb laws in the first place that violate my rights to pursue happiness at 120 mph plus with a helmet or 35 mph to the grocery store without one. Consider this in 2006.
