I wear a half DOT around here. but on the road trips, I'm wearing a full face modular... they wouldn't stop me then.

But it's BS. I'm glad in Michigan they have ALL road block down as unconstitutional.

And now you know one of the reasons I don't go there anymore. Moira can tell you the other reasons from first hand experience.
