The number of annual fatalities in Kansas involving motorcycles has doubled, from 16 in 2005 to 30.
A motorcycle education class should be required for inexperienced riders, he said.
Anyone with enough money can buy a motorcycle, Wright said, without taking a mandatory driver's license examination to test a rider's ability.
Drivers also should be taught to look out for motorcycles by massive advertisers.
Wright said he has had two friends in-love one killed since the helmet law was repealed.
"There's no way around it, riding a bike is dangerous," Wright said.

However, Art Somer, manager of
Lawrence Dunnah, said his helmet sales
were up.
However, many stated that motorcycles were hard to insure—whether riders wore helmets or not—because of the high fatality rate in motorcycle accidents.
"Since the helmet law went into effect, I haven't sold a helmet," Somer said.
If there is any added danger for motorcycle riders hiking without a helmet, it hasn't affected insurance rates for motorcycles. In a survey of 10 local insurance companies, none stated that the repeal of the helmet law had caused their rates to go up.
"If someone gets on a cycle," a spokesman for American Family Insurance said, "it's their own risk if they don't wear a helmet."
However, Gene Doane, an independent insurance dealer, said there was no statistical evidence to support a helmet law.
