I bought this Teknic 7-plate back protector on TardMe on a whim, as the built-in one in my jacket is a bit inadequate. However, although there's nothing wrong with this per se, it's not exactly what I was after.
This is in good condition, hasn't been crash-tested, is comfortable when on, and fastens with a broad elasticised waist belt with velcro on the ends, so it will fit virtually anyone apart from the chronically skeletal or floor-bustingly obese.
I'm after $60 for this, which is what I paid for it.

BUMP!!
Yes, if you bought this, and hit a bump, then it might save you from serious injury or EVEN WORSE!! Like your bike crashing, exploding into flames, and burning your playlunch.
So do it! Buy this thing!! You know you want to!!!

I'm not Carmen San Diego, y'know. :wacko:
I'm right here, at my desk.
Or alternatively, I'm in Kiwi Biker, typing this message.
But in my non-working hours, I live on the Northern Shores of D'Auckland.

Nudge.
What if (wottif? WOTTIF?!?!?!?) you were out riding your motorbicycle one day, and you stopped at the trafficking lights, and some Dozy Bastid™ gave you a wee nudge with their Locomobile, making you fall on the road? And because you weren't wearing my Teknic back protector (because you hadn't bought it, making it your Teknic back protector), you got all busted?
Eh?
Wouldn't that be rather a PissOff™, and make you rather cross? It'd be no good then, you saying, "Iffonly I'd bought that there vifferman's Teknic back protector, I wouldn't be all busted and sad now", because it'd be TOO LATE for you, wooden tit?

C'mon peoples - someone must need some spinal protection when they're doing the dishes, mowing the lawns, watching TV or (now here's a thought!) riding their bike.

Strugling to sell eh..
I'm just trying to give a KBer a chance before I list it on Tard Me.
Like I said, there's nothing wrong with it - if it doesn't sell, I'll keep it for myself or the vifferbabe.
Dunno the model number, nodrog - I'll look tonight. Can't remember seeing any labels though.
Seemed to have a bit of what looks like cat hair on the fluffy lining - previous owner must've been a pussy...

Dunno.
I've never worn it - just tried it on under my jacket.
But I thought about the "Ew! Wottif someone else got all sweaty in it?!?" and gave it a tentative sniff: it doesn't smell, so you needn't worry about kooties or germs.

Yep ... my old Pet Hate about people putting shit in the "location" field. Pointless, totally pointless.

Yup, that's me. :buggerd: Stoatally pointless, a waste of space and oxygen, a blot on the escutcheon of humanity, etc etc blah blah blah. :o
Yes, I live on the North Shore (but I have to keep that secret, in case someone finds out. I could've left it blank, but where's the fun in that?:blip:)
And who cares? Does it really matter where people live? If you need to know, you can ask them or PM them.
I LIVE IN D'AUCKLAND, ON THE NORTH SHORE. IN BIRKENHEAD, IN FACT.

Thankyou for your PM - I was going to reply, but just thought I'd nip in here and see if there was anyone else who'd said "Can I have it, Mister? Can I, huh?"
No, it's not sold. I'll PM you my address and that sort of thing.

Maybe I'll just start wearing it at work.
One of the cubicle dweeboids here is bound to want to have one. If I paint it green, s/he can pretend s/he's one of them Ninja Turtles.

Yes.
See your PM.
Right, the Gote said he didn't like wearing the back protector - he'd prefer a saddle.
Someone buy the thing or I'll have to stick it on Tard Me. Which means I'll have to top up my account and all that there stuff.
