A while back there was discussion in MI on Motorcycle helmet law making it mandatory. I haven't heard anymore on it and was just wondering if this has passed.

you know I will wear a helmet law or not. Soccer moms and cell phones have changed the issue. I want a better chance to live. Rode 12,000 miles on the springer this past summer.
this summer my brother in law and I were riding in WI and thought it would be fun to head up to bergland, we crossed the boarder in Presque Isle and went about 12 miles and a state trooper pulled us over, we thought we were speeding but nope, MI has a helmet law. He made us turn around and head to WI, which I thought was pretty cool, no tickets.
I'm not saying that as we are talking about riding motorcycles here, but odds of surviving a crash on a cycle with a helmet are much better than if not wearing one. If you have the choice, do what you like, I believe it's still a free country. I just know from being with a fellow rider who went down on a bike that he would have been much worse off w/o a helmet.
I agree polarisrider1!! Too many distractions with the cagers that we need to do what we can to protect ourselves. Evidently their multi-tasking is more important than paying attention to their driving and others on the road.

thank you Andy. So now you guys have to seatbelt in the back seat riders in IL. Wow progress. Lol the other night on the news they were rattling off a bunch of new laws that went into effect on the first. Just what I we needed, more government telling us how to think. Mi. Helmet law still on books for now, if it changes the only reason will be to draw tourists to the state. Besides Andy the helmet keeps my hair out of my eyes!
the Question is not if it a good Idea to put on a brain bucket, But how free are you with a over stepping nanny state.
I CANT STAND GOVERNMENT NANNY BS LAWS. when you have way way way way way to much free time and need to feel important you pass fredome killing BS nanny laws.when is it going to stop when are you going to say NO MORE.that should be your question

It will be a fed law! because they will be looking out for the good of the people buy reducing risk.and it will just be the tip of the ice berg say buy buy to trans fats in less than 12yrs.Hope and change coming at you full speed starting in 2013

Personally, I would wear a full head helmet no matter what the law says...and I do.
And I could also care less if those who chose to go without either....except.....these are the very folks that will run up blue cross bills for weeks and months basically punishing everyone else for their stupidity.
It's all about the added cost for those who think, THEY will never take a spill on a bike (go figure..) and that's the only time
you need all the protection....and THEN you can't have enough of it.
Aside from that....ride naked if you want....nobody cares, except for your immediate family, maybe!
If you could carry a waver of medical rights when riding naked...exempting yourself from medical coverages, then I am sure Michigan wouldn't care, and the morticians would be thankful. After all, who are we to say who lives and who dies?
