Motorcyclists who meet certain requirements have had the freedom to ride without a helmet in Michigan since 2012.
Hundreds of motorcyclists are expected to rumble into Lansing on Wednesday to deliver a blunt message: Don t mess with Michigan s helmet law.

As for a return to that mandate, Rhoades said: “We would fight that tooth and nail. We want people to know we re not going anywhere.”
