Michigan Goes Topless

Today Michigan Governor Rick Snyder signed Senate Bill 0291 repealing Michigan's helmet law. If you are at least twenty one years old, carry at least an additional $20,000 in medical insurance and have either passed a motorcycle safety course or had their motorcycle endorsement for at least two years, you can let your locks blow in the breeze. What does this mean to me, it means Michiganders now can decide for themselves whether or not they would like to wear a helmet or not. I have always supported one's right to make decisions on which safety devices they care to utilize. That doesn't mean you will catch me topless anytime soon. While I support an individuals right to choose what's right for them, does not necessarily mean it's right for me. I have been wearing a helmet for forty years now, and this law really isn't going to change how I feel about ensconcing my brain holder in fiberglass and padding.

Here is how the Michigan State Police are looking at it;

In a memo sent to all posts, Michigan State Police Director Col. Kriste Kibbey Etue clarified for officers how the law will be enforced.

"The law does not require a motorcycle operator to carry or present proof he or she has a motorcycle endorsement for at least two years or has successfully passed the motorcycle safety course.
The law does not require a motorcycle operator or passenger to carry proof of the $20,000 security required to operate or ride a motorcycle without a helmet.
Officers may not stop a motorcyclist for not wearing a helmet based on the possibility the operator or passenger may be in violation of the helmet law.
Operators and passengers who violate the new law are responsible for a civil infraction".

  So Y'all that have been waiting in sweaty anticipation for this law to be signed, get out there and let the wind blow your hair back. I'll be riding right next to you looking through my smoked faceshield. Till Next Time.........................

More Mini Bike Madness

Big Toe has been toiling away whipping up new Mini Bike Drag racers. Here are a couple of the bikes he is currently working on.

These bikes will do 80-90mph in the 1/8 mile, that's enough to get your hair standing up. If you want one of your very own head over to Outlaw Fab Shop or click the minibike in the sidebar.

Looks Like Someone Is Going To Need Some Asbestos Converse

Curly is back at work on his XS650 bobber and by the look of things, he is going to need to commission Converse to whip him up some asbestos Chuck Taylors. He and Big Toe whipped up a new exhaust for the XS and it is going to shoot flames awfully near the forward controls.

They are working on a way to get the shifter to shift the normal one down four up pattern without the linkage winding up looking like a ladder.

They still have quite a bit of tweaking to do, so the exhaust will probably get tweaked as well. I hope so, 'cause if it stays like it is now, it will look cool, but Curly will have some awfully toasty feet.

Turkey Buzzards

Two sure signs that spring is right around the corner for me are, I saw two Turkey Buzzards today

And Felix and his "Ducati Buddies" are making me jealous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For those who may be wondering, the Ducatsi are as follows; 999, Diavel, and Mulistrada. And believe me, the owners, BASTARDS all of them.

Plus my foot is at about 96.3% so I am cracking out the FJ for the first time this year Wednesday and riding it to work. YEEE HAAA Mo Fo's. Shit, that's three things. I guess I'm not as smart as I think I am, well I can count to three, that has to count for something.
