This is actually very interesting, Bob. A few years ago Kentucky partially repealed their helmet law for motorcyclists. If you're 21 or older and carry a certain amount of bodily injury insurance, you can ride without one. If you're younger or don't want to pay for the extra insurance, buying only the state minimum, you have to wear it. I like this thinking. Puts responsibility on the rider, and takes it off the taxpayer. I'm not sure if the state will cover medical expenses once the insurance runs out. -- Scott Loveless http://www.twosixteen.com Shoot more film! -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
