Hey,
I’m at a loss today. I woke up a 4:30 a.m. with a pounding earache, and I thought for sure I had this cold under control. Half the biker world is headed to Indy and the other half are checking their bags and packing for Daytona.
The show must go on, while I pour 60 wt. Amsoil into my ear canal and hammer at the news. It’s going to be a good one. Then I’ll report our projects or crawl back in bed and drink Brandy and tea. What do you suggest?

It’s the lawsuit against the CHP (Civil Court) that was filed by motorcycle riders because the police are enforcing the helmet law improperly. The CHP’s attorney, the Attorney General of California (AG), filed a request (MSJ) that the court give the win to the CHP, because they claim there’s enough proof that the CHP will win after the trial, so “why have a trial?” The Judge denied the MSJ and disagreed with the AG. WE win again. In fact, the Judge disagreed with the CHP (AG) so strongly, that he hinted that the CHP might lose the case in the long run. So, we have some paperwork to file with the court ASAP. We are hoping the Judge actually signs an Injunction against enforcement. In other words, orders the police to quit enforcing the helmet law. What do you need to do? Right now, make an effort to contact everybody you know (and everybody they know) to get information to me about any helmet ticket you can find. The more unapproved helmet tickets you can show the Judge, the more likely he is to see that they have been writing tickets when they shouldn’t have. Take a picture of the helmet if you can, but most importantly get the info about that ticket emailed to me ASAP. A copy of the ticket would be the best. A “goldmine.” We’ve been telling you for months that this will, very likely, take the helmet law out completely. You have not been this close to getting rid of the helmet law since it was written into the lawbooks in 1992. Make this your personal goal; Find any and every helmet ticket written since 1996, the Easyriders Federal Court Decision. Every person you find that was ticketed for a helmet violation is another nail in the coffin of the helmet law. Now go find ’em; We know they’re out there. Get back to me. –PAN Continued On Page 2
