[QUOTE="Jon K., post: 681063, member: 22460"] There is a current thread asking how many AMA members are on the boards. Quite a few, judging from the responses. Reading through my AMA magazine the last few months; they (we) have been promoting their (our) "motorcyclists matter" campaign; looking for harsher legal penalties against motorists who injure or kill motorcycle riders. Looks great on the surface; but I am not sure that it will accomplish anything. Will greater penalties deter further incidents? Do these drivers think "Ah; I will probably get off with a slap on the wrist; I am just gonna run this guy down". But what really got me thinking about this issue is the AMA's long-going historical battle against helmet laws. How can the AMA, one the one hand, get their panties in a wad when a motorist wipes out a biker, and on the other hand actively fight to allow the same (now wiped out) biker to ride sans helmet? I believe their (our!) goals would be better served by promoting (rather than fighting) helmet laws. Rather than chasing accidents to make sure the driver is punished after the damage is done. I'm thinking I will write a letter to the AMA, but I would like to hash it out a bit here before I do. Sort of to get my thoughts in order. [/QUOTE]
