Don't go through agents. They need their cut and get bonuses for steering you. nobodyspecial Feb 2013 #1

We're paying for the stupid no helmet motorcycle "law". Like that wasn't going to happen. MichiganVote Feb 2013 #15

I doubt we'll ever hear anything bad about any law this bunch of fools has passed. MichiganVote Feb 2013 #23

Are you sure it is the helmet law? Motown_Johnny Feb 2013 #22

Speculation on my part. But its a good speculation. Esp. since we have NO report of MichiganVote Feb 2013 #24

My point is that, in a no fault state, your insurance covers you Motown_Johnny Feb 2013 #38
