Some health insurances have things in them that won't cover you. Don't know all the details, but I called progressive who we have our bike insurance though and its only $10 month to just add the $20,000 insurance so thats what I did.

I will check my health insurance to find out later and if I don't need it then I will just drop the $10

I don't want to be the first person in court trying to prove I do have it cause thats my luck!

Congrats to the Mich lawmakers. I wear and always have worn a helmet. We have a choice in Texas with, I think, similar requirements as Mich.

As usual, the lawmakers and insurance companies will find it easier to just raise the rates on everybody. I like having the choice too but lets see what happens to the insurance rates.

I'd comply just to be able to ride without the lid.
