Chris,
they should draw and quarter cage operators that do dumb ass shit and
injure Bikers. Or better yet, you can personally pay the 50% surcharge
you're suggesting to any of us that get butchered. Good gear only goes so
far in protecting you. When some cell phone yacking bimbo in a 6000lb SUV
plows into you, you really think a helmet and leather is going to stop
blunt trauma? It might only make the difference between a open or closed
casket.
Of course that's just MHO,
