    I like this idea!

    I think a couple states have under 21 manditory helmet laws.

    I also think helmets for passangers should be manditory.

    I think we should make everyone walk around in giant padded hamster balls so nobody gets hurt.

    ...and think how much fun it would be!

    The rule that goes with that Ohio law is that any passenger is subject to the same helmet requirements as the rider. So if I'm a newly endorsed rider then my passenger has to wear a helmet too.

    Anyone under 21 must wear a helmet.

    I like the tiered system they use in Europe . . . you can only ride a bike up to a certain CC until you have had your license for a certain amount of time, then you can move up.

    ... only problem I can see with that, is some people won't ride the smaller cc bikes (cuz they're embarassed), and won't gain enough valuable experience before "graduating" to bigger bikes.
