Here's my hang-up with the whole seatbelt issue. If you are going to legislate public saftey, that' fine. But lets not pull punches and lets call it what it is, a money maker and tool that can be used to open doors, trunks etc.. If they (big brother) were truly out for public saftey, then every person on a motorcycle should be required by law (and able to be cited and fined on the spot) to be in full leathers, boots over the ankle, full face helmet, leather gloves and a dayglow vest at all times, no matter how hot or cold or wet or whatever....

Until the playing field is level, I see it as a money making tool, not them looking out for little old me. Don't feed me that line of BS.

Belts save lives, no doubt. But big brother could give 2 poops about me as an individual.
