This isn't technically a marketing brief, but idiots making laws repealing motorcycle helmet requirements will have the ultimate effect of hurting motorcycle sales because doctors will become more

donors but expect to see the numbers go way up.” Michigan has joined states like Florida in repealing the mandatory helmet law. A new report by the independent investigative website
FairWarning.org finds that the no-helmet-law trend is, indeed, causing a significant increase in motorcycle fatalities. “You cannot be in this battle and not be frustrated by this
senselessness,” said Michael Dabbs, president of the Brain Injury Association of Michigan.
