Motorcycle Riding and Religion - The Turban Battle
About a couple of months ago I blogged about different sorts of freedom that motorcycle riding offers. My post was called “Freedom of Movement with Less Freedom of Attire“. What I said then (and what I still say no) is that “motorcycle riding gives you the feel of freedom”. Mr. Baljinder Badesha begs to differ.

In September of 2005 Mr. Badesha was cited for wearing his turban instead of a helmet while riding his motorcycle in Brampton, Canada. Baljinder Badesha is a practicing Sikh. He says he understands the inherent dangers of riding withoug a helmet but is willing to take the risk as he follows his religion. The Ontario Human Rights Commission decided to back M. Badesha in his confrontation. Here is more information on the matter.
What do you guys think?
