Description of the problem	I am a 55 year old u. S. Taxpaying registered voter who has been riding motorcycles for over 42 years. I have adequate health insurance,own my home,family man and have been at the same job for 28 years. I hate wearing motorcycle helmets and hate even more,the government telling me that i have to wear one when i ride my bike. I strongly believe in freedom of choice. It should be left up to the rider to decide whether they want to wear one or not and not the government ! Fortunately there are more states without a mandatory helmet law than there are with them. A motorcycle helmet will only save your life in a crash up to 13 mph,after that it is not of much use. Helmets in most if not all states are illeagle to wear while driving a automobile because it restricts your hearing and peripheral vision. Then why are we forced to wear them on motorcycles ? It doesn't make sense. The key to motorcycle safety is driver safety education both for the automobile and motorcycle operator. Please let all of the legislators know of my concern. A lot of legislators who impose mandatory helmet laws and other oppressive motorcycle related laws,have never even touched a motorcycle but yet want to govern our lives when it comes to a lifestyle/sport that we dearly embrace. Thankyou for your time !
