Today I joined the other 'Sunday drivers' and drove my wife into town in our cage (would have rather been on the track at Taupo :disapint: ). As we were going around a single lane corner 2 scooter riders passed me on the left hand side of my lane, and if I hadn't been using my rear vision mirrors I would have taken them out for sure! They stopped at the lights further up the road and while they were laughing and carrying on through their open-faced lids I noticed they were wearing the standard scooter protective wear consisting of trackpants and t-shirt!
To this day I still misunderstand the mentality (or lack of it) of 'most' scooter riders when it comes to following the simplist rules of the road and wearing *any* protective clothing besides a cheap helmet?

:mega: Rant over!
