Unfortunate karma

FL lawyer who fought helmet laws dies in motorcycle crash while not wearing hel​


"A Florida lawyer who passionately fought against state laws requiring motorcycle riders to wear helmets was killed in a motorcycle crash while not wearing a helmet. Ron Smith, 66, was heading to a memorial service for another biker in August when he crashed his bike as he tried to slow for traffic in front of him. His 62-year-old girlfriend, Brenda Jeanan Volpe, who was a passenger on the bike, was also killed. She too was not wearing a helmet. Smith—who was a member of the Brotherhood Against Totalitarian Enactments—represented clients who broke Florida’s motorcycle rules in cases which some say ultimately helped to overturn the state’s helmet requirement in 2000. “He thought everybody should have their own choice,” his friend Dave Newman said."

Not unfortunate Karma - Darwinism in its purest form.

Did he provide his own crew to pick up the pieces and hose down the street?

Or did the Totalitarians have to pay for that?

Seems like the guys/gals who ride crotch rockets/bamboo burners wear full gear... Mostly.
The guys/gals who ride Harleys wear leather vests/jackets, claim to be Viet Nam or Afghanistan vets, and most have that kicked in the throat voice, like Alex Jones....
I don't like either one more than the other, but I know who I would trust on the road over the other.

On the other hand, You will never see a Harley rider do 130 mph on a surface street.

They call them rice rockets here. The riders are wearing custom leather body bags.

"Loud pipes saves lives" is one moto.
My response is "Loud pipes may make me stomp on my brakes, and watch you fly over my roof and on to the road."
I have no problem with the riders who are polite, and just want to ride. But get a gaggle of them and suddenly they think they own the whole fucking world. Guess what? No you don't. Just like assholes with jacked up mud trucks. You need to be just as polite as if you were driving a Honda Civic.

My response is "if you didn't insist on riding in my blind spot while splitting lanes, you wouldn't need loud pipes."
