"Sole
purpose, effect and result
of motorcycle safety

to protect the
motorcyclists, riders or

enactment of the statutes
was not outside the scope of

statutes requiring that
motorcycle drivers wear
protective helmets and have
eye protection, and that
motorcycles have untilted

accordingly, enactment of
the statutes was not
prohibited by either the
