The only arguement on the helmet rule is that Illinois doesn't have a helmet law for street bike riders. If they want to make the law that people under the age if 18 must wear a helmet that is one thing. Why should I wear a helmet to ride my TTR225 across my yard but I don't have to wear one when I ride my VTX1800 65mph on the highway.
You would have to wear a helmet on a 4 wheeler or minibike if you use one for a pit vehicle at the drag strip. :?
The proposed legislation would also make it illegal to transport a passenger on an ATV or OHM regardless of whether the vehicle is configured for a passenger.
How many times have you seen 2 people on a atv in the pits at a dragstrip?
