Could this someday be coming Florida or TV?
At our age, I doubt we will see the day.

Not going to happen over here.

Not if they don't want a revolt. They will pry my Harley from my cold dead hands in about 40 years.

Stupid article.
Consider the source.

The top three states by number of licenced motorcycles:

1. California
2. Florida
3. New York

My conclusion is there will never be a ban.

I dont mind motorcycles at all, but for the love of god wear a helmet. Now, that should be a law here.

I agree with the above. I also think that within 10 years, all NEW motorcycles will be electric.

10 or 15 years ago, when my wife and I were riders, we were hanging out in the local Harley shop and overheard another couple looking at helmets (this was in CA where helmets are required, but you can get away with some pretty worthless examples) Her "if you think I'm spending the rest of my life changing your diaper 3 times a day because you were to "cool" to wear a good helmet, you've got another "think" coming" Him "these super certified helmets don't look that bad after all"
Smart guy.

Why do you need a law for common sense? How does it hurt anyone if a biker does not wish to wear a helmet? Adults should be able to make their own decisions as long as it does not hurt anyone else.
But, this is about banning motorcycles and that won't ever happen. Even a big Harley uses less fuel per mile than the average car (mobile cage).

Ok, I'll consider the source. It is a blogger who calls the attempt to reduce greenhouse gases as "the so called European Green Deal"

Who is contemptuous of attempts to reduce the loud noise of motorcycles to not being louder than a lawnmower by writing " I know everyone’s excited to ride a two-wheeled lawnmower."

He also derides a French ban on old machines
"The postponement isn’t about French officials realizing maybe such a thing is draconian, but instead is to allow for the government to validate new speed cameras so it can fine violators and collect a bunch of money because of course."

So how do you feel about the source now that it clearly agrees with your position??

Well, they tried helmet laws that have since been repealed so next step is an out right ban. Ridiculous. Get a life and leave other people alone!! Let's ban stupid journalists.
