Approved riding gear? I hope thats a joke. Who would make the "approved" list. I sure don't want to be the Aerostich Police. Sounds like a sure way to end up paying more for the same item. I also like the tiered licensing based on HP,torque, weight etc. Sounds like a QB passer rating for motorcycles.
How about a compulsory re-education camp for all new motorcyclists, 15 days minimum, including a goverment mandated diet and exercise (to make riding safer). Federal Law.
