Helmet law protest

[billwest]

But why stop there?  Should a motorcyclist be required to wear certified full body protective gear at all times? The argument is the same IMO. ATGATT should be required in order to be consistent with the helmet argument. After all, a head injury is not the only thing that can rack up high medical costs(skin graphs, spinal cord injury, loss of limb) or cause  a lifetime of misery for the victim and their families and since motorcycles are inherently dangerous.... Those who are ATGATT, more power to you

My mate was actually lamenting the fact that he didn't wear protective pants, like Draggin Jeans, or even leather.  His choice, btw.
Perhaps we will soon see MotoGP racers going around in shorts and T-shirts, because of freedom of choice?  Or are they smarter than that?

Another 2c.
