The Story: You feel a different kind of strength when you ride a motorcycle and when you ride in a pack, that strength becomes sheer power. You are seen, your voice is heard and you feel invincible.

After years of protest, hard work and lobbying, on July 1, 2000, the law was changed so that it was no longer mandatory for bikers to wear a helmet in Florida.
