That, my friend, is a most excellent point. If we're going to legislate the mandatory use of helmets, then let's also make mandatory the use of leather jackets, chaps, gloves and boots. And, while we're at it, lets also recognize that 4 wheels on the ground are much safer than 2. Therefore, let's enact legislation requiring all motorcycles to have 4 wheels. Is it not also common sense that it is safer to be surrounded by a protective cabin, than ride out in the open? Ok...let's mandate that all motorcycles be surrounded by a cabin constructed of metal and glass (you
have to be able to see out). Oooh...I know...let's also make straps that the operator can tie himself to seat with, and mandate thier use.
