If you are over 21 and pass the msf course, you can ride without a helmet. I have been riding for almost 7 years and just took the course last June. There were actually two guys there taking the class just so they don't have to wear a helmet. They did not care about learning any riding tips. :rolleyes:

IIRC my Txdot study booklet said you had to have x amount of health insurance coverage and a sticker on your plate to ride wthout a lid.

State law says motorcyclists must wear helmets, with two exceptions for riders 21 and older. No helmet is required if the rider:

has successfully completed a motorcycle safety course, or

has proof of health insurance with a minimum of $10,000 coverage for injuries resulting from a motorcycle crash.

Only have to have the insurance if you have not completed the course is what they told me in the class.

I dont care how much health insurance you have...SLAPAHO.

must admit if someone is riding on the back for a short distance I let them where the helmet, they have a much higher risk of fallin off then the driver imo.

Local place to buy aftermarket clutch kit?

I need to put a clutch in my '03 ZX6R. I've been looking at the Barnett Kevlar. Can anyone recommend a local shop that would have these or something similar? I called the Kawasaki shop and he quoted me over $200 for the factory replacement. I've seen the Barnett's for $135 and up on Ebay, etc. I'll be doing the install myself. I actually tore mine down and put it all back together this weekend just to see how it all went together.

Don't waste your money on aftermarket stuff. Just by an OEM pack. Unless your road racing & shifting 300 times a day, you won't need all the extra garbage...

And I can't believe that a stock pack is $200 for ZX6. I can call around and get a brand new pack for my busa for around $140.
