Off the Buell group (reputable poster):
New rules in Europe.
Germany- Boots covering the ankle & jacket with CE protection + helmet. = minimum legal requirement for protection.
France are considering following suit, but have already announced that hi-viz clothing is to be mandatory for motorcyclists from 01/01/12.
But they're going to repeal the 106hp limit at the same time due to untenable pressure from the industry & other european states.
So, from next year in France you'll be able to legally ride your turbo'd & nitroused Busa.
Wearing flip-flops & shorts should you so wish, but you'll have to wear a luminous orange or yellow hi-viz vest or sam-browne.
Like that's going to do a lot.
There's going to be big organised protests in the major cities here on Sat 18th June.
I'll be taking part too if I can.
