m0nk3y, you make a good point about pillion riders knowing whether someone has insurance BEFORE riding.
but i think insurance should be mandatory regardless. what about when a bike hits another car, pedestrian, etc? chances are, if a biker doesn't have insurance, s/he can't afford it. and if they can't afford insurance, they won't be able to afford to pay for property/injury damages to others if they cause a wreck.
