Motorcycle Week and Helmet laws

New Hampshire is one of 4 states that has no helmet law.  It used to be that 40 some odd states had laws requiring some sort of helmet use in the 70s.   While some motorcycle groups advocate repealing motorcycle laws, they do this in the face of pretty clear evidence that deaths and brain injuries rise after the helmet laws are repealed.

An interesting side note…This week in New Hampshire is Motorcycle week.  I believe that something like 375,000 bikers are expected.  Already we see them around town.  I’m a fan.  I like bike week and I like to see all the bikes and all these folks who are really into it.  Enjoy…But wear a helmet  :-)
