OT (?) It is Starting

hmmm.. Don't know why all this information is important to you, unless it is
just curiosity on your part.. As I previously said, I take responsibility
for x-posting the thread.. As I pointed out, there are some Texas bikers who
participate on Reeky, also.. They might be interested in what is going on in
the State.. Some of these guys are like me and they will participate in both
tx.motorcycles and rec.motorcycles .. Discussion of the Helmet Law in Texas
wasn't really the subject intent of my original post.. <lol> It just kinda
morphed in that direction.. There are a lot of other issues which will be
considered during this mid term State election.. Regards..

Just FYI, but it's concluded....

I have avoided direct response to either of these two, just to see how
completely ridiculous they will become.. LOL... The arguments being made on
this newsgroup, are virtually the same arguments that Lon Burnham and the
insurance company lobbyists made at the Committee hearing on the Helmet
Law.. Those same arguments were made in 1997 when TMRA 2 petitioned
legislature to remove the helmets.. The insurance exemption was negotiated
into the current Helmet Law, in deference to the insurance companies, who
were fighting for maintaining the status quo Helmet Law.. hmmm.. Wonder if
that tells you anything about John Moran and Albert Nurick.. ??

 

Bullshit, Beemer.. you are dancing with the issue.. No one that I'm aware
of, advocates some kid getting a license and turned loose on a motorcycle..
What you are advocating is that some old boy with 25 or more years of
riding, be required to enroll in a MSF course before he can be licensed to
operate a motorcycle.. If.. like you, he chooses to do that, it is his
choice.. unlike you, if he is comfortable with himself and doesn't choose to
take the course, it should not be mandated on him, as you suggest.. The
application for the motorcycle endorsement, asks the question about how many
years experience that you have.. right ? When he has demonstrated on the
street during his examination, that he can indeed operate the motorcycle, he
shouldn't be required to do a damned thing, other than receive that
endorsement.. btw.. That motorcycle is inspected by the examining officer,
also.. bad tires, lights etc.. The helmet is inspected and is approved by
the department or transportation or the rider won't be tested furthur..
Backed by that many years of experience, don't you think it is pretty
foolish for the state to declare that man isn't qualified to ride a
motorcycle because he hasn't completed an MSF course... I call Bullshit on
that one, Beemer..

LMAO.. Well, gawdamit, Beemer .. Can't you get anything right ? Sheesh..
with all that roof repair shit you've been doing for the past couple of
years, you shouldn't be wading water in this little sprinkle we're having..
WTF is the matter with you ? Regards..

 

Well hell, JailCall.. what's up with all that ? LOL.. The "good cop" is
going to riding with me to Mexico in March.. The "bad cop" is going to be
running around with "Sweetie" pushing her tits in his back .. drinking
coldbeer and wishing he'd made the trip with us.. See there.. that's how
all that works.. heeheehee... Regards, buddy..

hmmm.. Can I shoot your pistol.? lol.. When I asked a DPS officer that
question, he got hysterical.. The best radar detector I've ever had was when
I could get some stunt sport biker to run out ahead of me.. LOL.. Regards

Whoa up there, pard.. Those guys have saved me from getting a ticket too
many times.. Don't be too hard on them.. Didn't you notice my comment about
"the best radar detector". ?? Regards

Scary bunch, alright.. LMAO..

Since we are about to disagree on several points in this discussion
and we both know neither will be able to change the other's mind, and
I do not like cross posting for the sake of crossposting I am going to
dump this thread.

Don't you just love it.. See how much more fun you can have when those

Regardless of how much insurance coverage that you carry, it still cost the
same amount to reassemble that skull.. If the insurance company denies the
claim because that dude with the destroyed skull was engaged in "risky
behavior".. the cost of reassembly will still be the same..

You can be certain, that insurance company did not refuse the policy payment
when that old boy wrote the checks.. What isn't being said .. the insurance
company can deny the claim whether the guy was wearing a bandana or a top of
the line helmet.. Risky behavior, as defined by the insurance companies,
doesn't care what you were wearing, the risky behavior involves riding the
motorcycle, lawnmower, ATV or a boat.. Insurance companies paid a lot of
money to get that amendment incorporated into the HIPPA Act.. There's a lot
more involved in the Helmet Law, than meets the eye.. The insurance
contradiction is just one .. an important one..

 

it depends upon the insurance you carry. you have to have the correct
policy.

worried about HIPPA exclusions ? it's easy to take care of that.

get a policy that specifies medical coverage for the risky activity you
are doing. motorcycling, sky-diving, scuba diving, rock climbing, power
sports racing, professional sports, etc., can be insured if you specify
what you are doing. any good insurance agent can take care of that,
especially when they are initiating or renewing a motorcycle policy.
Jail Call asked them about it and as a result he's covered specifically
for motorcycling as part of his policy. It's not difficult at all.

if you decline specific coverage and get a low cost minimum coverage
policy, then you get what you pay for, which is very little. too bad if
you chose poorly and then suffer for it later on.

 

Yeah.. too bad..Decidedly.. typical, coming from you.. Thanks for you
input.. See you on the road..

I love morphing. If it wasnt for morphing some of these boring topics
would stay that way. I know I have had afew post that turned out
interesting, because the group morphed it into another direction and it
became something interesting.
heh heh heh. (bjay)!!!

It has to be mainly for insurance purposes, surely that's it.? I can
just see it now" Bill Walker or me, taking that MSF course, and ride
around in circles on a

have been riding as long as Me, for example. (heh heh heh, Bjay)!

Why? Couldn't I just read here, at my leisure, sort and digest info and go
practice. Couldn't I just team up with one of the old timers and get a quick
lesson? Curious why do you think it is great for rookies, and did you take
it when you were a rookie????

...louie

 

You seem to keep forgetting that TMRA 2 and ABATE negotiated this helmet law
... It was TMRA 2 who made the agreement to fund the motorcyclist education
fund with the proceeds from the sale of the "stickers".. Hold on, here for a
moment.. which meeting of TMRA 2 were you attending, when you made any such
proposal for that idea ? Which meeting was it that you supported the
efforts of TMRA 2 to furthur motorcyclists education.. ?? Who are you
soliciting for support of your idea, tx.motorcycles newsgroup or TMRA 2 ?
You kinda got me confused, Beemer..


Just keep the law the way it is. If you think the legislators are

 

I profile everyday when I'm riding....

"What's this idiot doin'?",
"Is this clown gonna' to turn out of the center lane?",
"It this dummy talkin' on the phone?",
"Is this a foreigner that can't follow the road rules?",
"Is this mommy diverting all her attention to the two
kids in the back seat?",
"Is this bro drifting into my lane while watchin' that
little "sugar" walk down the street?"

etc., etc., etc.
