Vince Consiglio and ABATE of MI disagreed. They looked at the surrounding states: Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Ohio. None of them had helmet laws. Michigan did. What the heck happened? Why couldn't experienced riders CHOOSE? Since the 1970s, Vince spent over 35 years fighting the helmet law, expanding the Motorcycle Safety program, and riding his motorcycle nearly every day. He always wore a helmet. We Fought the Law and Changed It tells the story of Vince's struggle to repeal the motorcycle helmet law in Michigan. It covers some of his favorite riding stories and why he got involved in the helmet cause in the first place. And how Vince and ABATE spent decades in the Legislature fighting the law...until they changed it. It's a story of passion, perseverance, politics, and motorcycles. "Let those who ride decide"'..
