Default Helmet Law

So any idea when the helmet law will get repealed in CA?

It doesn't really seem to be enforced that much. As long as you have something on your head that looks like a helmet.

IMO, the only way it will ever happen is if it somehow puts money in the state coffers.

Maybe start a petition for an extra-cost endorsement to existing mc license? What's it worth to ya?

we are almost done with the air conditioner that hell ordered.
When we finish, we will turn it on full blast and when we get hell frozen we can move on down the list.

next we just have a couple more things to do.
first, we need to to size the wings for the pig, but the pig's diet is not going so well so she may not fly right away - some sort of airspeed/weight ratio thing.
However, as soon as she is flying well we will give you a call.

Because next on the list is the helmet law being repealed in CA.

Shouldn't take long.

At least pot will be legal soon

California is so far in debt push how the Choice Law makes money use Florida for an example one reason they will never have a Helmet law when it was repealed took FL out of the Red and into the Black...

Wrong! The cops here have been enforcing it aggressively - a friend I ride with got pulled over a couple of months ago, had to get a ride home to get his DOT helmet (the one he was wearing wasn't quite "legal") before they'd let him ride his bike home. At least they didn't write him a ticket ($$).

I ride with a full-face helmet, so the helmet law isn't an issue for me - but I know it's a hot-button issue for a lot of people here.

It's only getting worse out here in The Golden (ha!) State. Those b*st*rds in Sacramento are now trying to ram a law through making smog tests mandatory on bikes. Reasons:

(1) $$
(2) $$
(3) $$
(4) It's a way to get rid of "loud pipes" because almost no aftermarket pipes would pass.

Rather live on a 1 mile island and ride in circles all day than Cali with all their rules... They won't let me carry my pistol there either although can ride from FL to AZ heeled with no worries....
