Tuesday, February 21, 2012 Local news is airing a new story of the Tennessee House sub-committee having hearings on our Tennessee helmet law. Do helmets make riding a motorcycle safer? Well how dumb, obviously it helps when you crash. It restricts sight and hearing while up-right. So what should one think?
First let me say I have been a rider since 1961, but I try to think beyond the two minute sound bite sometimes. In an effort to do that, what if the state now decides to make us all wear bullet proof vests? Needless to say it would help if we were shot but how about going to the beach or any other activity you can think of.
