When did he say that? Everything I've read says he would consider signing it. He did say earlier that he wanted as part of a broad overhaul of the Michigan no fault insurance program. IMO I think he'll sign.

There will be a Biker Day at the Capitol, June 6th 2012 ... actually we've had one every year for longer than I care to remember ... Hopefully we'll be successful in the repeal of this law soon.

Ohio does have a helmet law.(kinda)

You must wear a helmet if you are under 18 or you are in the first year of having your motorcycle endorsement.

I got pulled over when I was 17 and given a ticket. The cop told me he pulled me over because I looked under 18. I went to court and told the judge that, he threw it out. Stupid cop
