I love to ride in my home state of Maine, where the air is crisp and clear. I like the way it makes me feel when it rushes through my hair.

When I turned 18 and was given the right to vote, I didn’t know much, but I wondered what freedom was supposed to be about.

The voters put the legislators in office. Our freedom is what life should be about. I hope they won’t make a terrible choice. The people voted legislators in, they can vote lawmakers out. They should not take away my freedom of choice to wear a helmet on my head. I’d rather die than be forced to wear a helmet.

Motorcycle riders are a powerful voting force, great people with lots of resources.

Let’s put the helmet law to rest. The voters know it can’t pass the test.
