Seems it would. Regardles of endorsement status or permit, if you're operating a Motorcycle, you're a Motorcyclist.

Thats all we need.

Not only do none of the mounted officers around here wear more on a motorcycle than they would on Mr Ed, but now they'll omit the helmit?

I know a little thing or two about being "hot" and stuck in a little traffic
Being stuck under a Vanson's 2-peice suit, Sidi Vertigo Race boots, leather full gauntlet gloves, and a shoie lid can get a little warm on 90+ degree days on the expressway, or whiping through the "bowl" an NHIS, gets a little "warm"

Spent the last five years racing at NED. I just sold my CBR954RR about a month ago. I'm gonna get another gsxr I think or maybe an R1. the CBR was an ok bike but. It just didnt feel right.

In any event, I don't run fast enough at NED on a bike to need more than a leather jacket, boots + jeans. When I ride for pleasure its usually t-shirt and shorts, sneakers, and full face helmet.

In my opinion its your head, if you want it smashed on the pavment then so be it.

Which then makes them "legal" although everyone knows they aren't but the sticker is on it like every other helmet. Then what happens if the ticket gets contested in court?

But like you said it's your head
