[QUOTE="jekirby, post: 498793, member: 12697"] After follwing and reading the link, I still don't see the point in wasting money on new stickers/testing just to discourage the use of or educate the rider who purchase 'novelty helmets'. I still believe that folks that buy those know what they are getting in to. The only reason I know some wear them is to look like they are folowing the helmet laws to keep Johnny Law at bay--they would prefer to wear no helmet at all if given a choice. I support their right to choose and still think that Darwin had it right on some points. I like the comment above about survival of the smartest. I am all for improved testing and technology to make sure the type of helmet I wear is safer, but I don't feel like telling the beanie wearer that they are not being safe. I have a feeling that someone has tried to sue the Gov't or state or has bugged the piss out of their congressmen because their loved one purchased a mirrored Nazi helmet and got killed. Maybe if there were no legislated standards then there may be no standards at all.....don't know......going riding......... add>>>BTW nice story about Chuck Y. [/QUOTE]
