I've just come from Indianapolis yesterday. And on my way home I counted 7 motorcycle accidents in IN before crossing the MI/IN border. These accidents were all a separate locations. I can't say how many were killed of injured, but there was noticable amounts blood at each accident site that I saw. Now after seeing this carnage I'd have to say that MI needs to strengthen it's helmet laws, and take action to discourage people from considering these machines as transportation or recreation. The state could start by limiting the number of motorcycle registrations and then reducing the limit year by year untill there are no more registered and lisenced motorcyles in this state.
Good work Governor Grandholm!!!
