Is that turban Snell rated?

If you are a Sikh here in Ontario Canada, you can wear a turban vice helmet.

You beat me to it Red....

I wonder if I go on the bike with a bath towel on my head if the cops would pull me over...?

Grandpa on his trike is just as, if not more, dangerous. On December 8th, my friend was headed home from picking up his work van. Light turns green, my friend starts crossing the intersection and whaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmm! His van was spun around a full 180 degrees. He gets out and the rider of this trike is unconscious with half his body inside the van. Everyone starts calling 911 and the older gentleman wakes up and starts moaning and complaining and my friend tries to calm him down until paramedics arrive. My friend says that the people that witnessed the accident decided to stay to give their version of the story. They all said that the light turn red and they stopped, but the trike flew by them right to the center of the intersection and hit my friend’s van. Now, imagine if my friend would’ve started rolling a split second later?!!! He could’ve been killed if the trike would’ve hit right on the driver’s door. By the way, this was in Orlando as well.View attachment 1590170

I've seen death from less impact. Hope he had a helmet.

I’m not familiar with US motoring law and licensing.

Is it legal for a 16 year old to be on a Busa ?

I’m used to riding in the UK and Australia and it certainly isn’t in either of these.

At what age could a rider be legal on a Busa (in any US state) ?

 

[Mr Brown]

16. There are no motor size restrictions here. As long as you have a motorcycle license you can ride what you want.

Thanks for the info Mr Brown.

UK and AU both have a multi level licensing system.

I know I'm gonna catch poop for this but, I think that Multi-Level Licensing System sounds pretty dam Good to Me...Ever since the gas prices have gone sky high, so many people (that should Never get on a bike) own them now! MY GOD, at 16, I was ripping around on Suzuki 250 RM's and honing my skills for my first street bike. Jesus, He went from a Bicycle to a Busa (unless he's a 16 year old Pro.). SAD MAN..

New Zealand laws prohibit learners from riding bike that size cc. We have a LAMS system for learners for riders 16 years and up and only can ride bikes of approved list ( up to 650cc e.g. GSX650FU is ok but GSXR600 not.

Based on power to weight ratio

If that were tried here, people would complain about infringement of rights. The truth is that sometimes we need to be saved from ourselves. This country seems to have a huge problem not understanding that just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

Driving is a privilege not a right. I have been reminded a few times in my life.

mentioned above...don't get me started on wearing turbins for a helmet and hiding behind my religion saying your helmet law infringes on my religious beliefs. (Only in Canada! could that happen) Don't want to wear a helmet, fine (I'm originally from Wisconsin-no helmet law), but hiding behind your religion & saying laws (that everyone else has to follow) don't apply to you is laughable. Ok, rant over.

 

[Slowstang305]

No helmet requirement in FL or one for common sense. Seen too many people riding sports bikes without helmets here.

I totally agree....I have seen brand new (rich kids) riders go and buy 1K superbikes as their first bike just 'cause Mommy and Daddy are loaded rich...they then go out and cause chaos and mayhem.

Yep, we were stunned as well as Canadians...they should at least be paying more health and motorcycle insurance but aren't.

Similar to the no helmet laws in the 'States...don't get that either...they let motorcyclists not wear a helmet yet make you wear a seat belt in a vehicle....

I was referring more to the regulation of said privilege...
