    Once again, unformed reports that he did not have a license.

    If, however, he did not, I can't wait to see the what feeble slap on the wrist some judge gives the King of Pittsburgh.

    Given the outrage in the Pittsburgh area over him not riding with a helmet, it may not be a slap. Might be a decent fine and community service or something, but I can't see the charges being dropped. And they might mandate that he can't apply for his motorcycle license for five years or something, kinda' like a teenager that gets caught driving a car without a license.

    On the other hand, I know people with the M certification who have no business operating one and people without the M certification who can put one together from spare parts and ride it safely and sanely.

    Having that stamp on your DL means precisely nothing. kingcreole, this reply also applies to your comment.

    Depends on Pennsylvania law, but it's entirely possible.

    According to a cop that was on KDKA radio yesterday afternoon. To ride without a helmet in Rendellsylvania you either have to:

    A. Be over a certain age (I believe 30)
    B. Have two or more years of riding experience
    C. Complete a motorcycle safety course.

    Obviously A and B are out of the equation entirely if he does not, in fact, have a license.

    I'm betting that he doesn't have more than two years of riding experience, esp. since it appears that he recently had a learner's permit.

    Again . . . IDIOT!

    Thirty-six bucks for an empty box ... but hey, at least, some of it will be given to some motorcycle safety awareness group.

    And again, Roethlisberger, what a dumbass on many fronts.
