Thanks for the many comments, in under an hour, of the helmet laws... dang. Next time I ask for where I can find a 32 roadster for sale cheap, you all better chime in this fast and numerous too! Darn you guys... I forget to save my questions for when it's really important and something I can't look up as fast as you all!

To recap:
Helmet not required for adult with full license in OH. www.iihs.org/iihs/topics/laws/helmetuse/mapmotorcyclehelmets

Only 19 US states require all riders to wear a helmet, 3 states don't have any helmet requirement. The remainder have laws that vary on who and when helmets are required. Texas does not require a helmet for an adult (21) if you have medical insurance

You can ride a trike in the UK with no helmet, trouble is it rains so much you probably wouldn't want to.

3 states with no laws, quite a few with partial... www.iihs.org/iihs/topics/laws/helmetuse/mapmotorcyclehelmets

    1. I object to that unwarranted slur on England's weather. Several times in the last few years I've been for a ride when it hardly rained at all.
      The trouble is that we're moored under the junction of 3 major meteorological systems, which is why other countries have a climate but we have weather.
      Actually the Irish, stuck out on the edge of the Atlantic, have the best saying: "If you don't like the weather, wait 10 minutes".

  6. Not sure if anyone noticed, but the seatbelt is part of the riders motorized wheelchair. Whoever built the bike did a hell of a job on it.

    1. I realized that, I did 9 months of repairing electric wheelchairs like this. More, he backed the chair onto the trike, and turned the seat around 180. I don't recall that even being possible, so, I bet he had someone do a little work to the seat post. As I recall the seat was fixed from rotating, due to the chair being balanced only if the person sits facing forward, over the batteries
