More riding less talking.

It's hard to take you seriously Dushy when:

1) You consider(ed?) yourself to be ATGATT, including back protector and fluoro. And then for the most important piece of safety gear you choose something that wont even protect your face.

2) You have done a lot of shit talk in the past, and then you criticise people who are discussing their riding fun.

Andrew, I thought the stance would be more along the lines of "The SMC does not advise the use of open-face helmets". As in we do not recommend them, as opposed to stating a disapproval.

Meh my brakes passed warrants the entire time so can't have been too bad. I still managed to perform emergency braking when needed.

I could come off the bike at any time due to other traffic or road conditions, I would prefer to be protected against the things I have no control over first and foremost.

If I was worried about safety features of my vehicle I would not be riding a motorbike.

I remember now, I did vote against it.

As for rob, whos fun do I criticise? The 200km/hr on public roads fun, the crashing whilst wheelie-ing whilst navigating a roundabout fun, is the sort of stuff I criticise and yes I do talk some shit, but no where as much as you or jafa.

If groups chose not to interact based on minor differences in opinions then the world would be a very strange place
