Rode down to Quasi to pick up my KNOX chest armour in the 'Tron tonight. Got a text around 5ish and any excuse for a ride ... I got my kit on and rode down the moronway to Taupiri and off towards Gordontown to Quasi's.

Always a hospitable host, he showed me the new back protector gears before I headed back up home, naturally took the back roads home and stopped in at Mercer to don some wet weather gear. Was fine on way down, but nature's ways decided to damp down the return journey.

The chest armour has already been field tested by Gremlin and he vouches for it's quality. The one I have got is version two, an upgrade to the shape, materials and features. Basically a velcro movable front plate is where the back protector straps go through and voila, instant install - my Spidi back protector fortunately could just the strap and connecting buckles through the front plate. Looks good, feels good - just hope I never have cause to use it for it's intended purpose!

Now have 4300km done on Cindi ... for 2 weeks ownership so far ... a good start for me, but just getting into it really!
