Think of the consequences. The real true-blue bikers will prefer to have their helmets registered and wear them while riding because they are have brains and common sense.
The idiots on 2-wheels, on the other hand, wouldn't wear those helmets at all. That way, when they do get in an accident, it'll be one less dumbass on the road. You take out the bad seeds in the motorcycle community and car drivers are happier because of lesser moroncyclists on the road.
Everybody wins.
