    I am assuming it is just a repeat?

    From memory it wasn't that great. The previews made it look a lot better than it actually was.

    This programme wasn't a documentary. It was an oversold advertorial for Italian motorcycle and bike gear manufacturers. Squid suppliers, if you will. Clothing and helmets don't stop bikers falling off. Testing on the track bears scant resemblance to the hazards that exist for those of us who ride on the roads.

    Also Nolan don't make helmets for people with big heads and Alpinestars don't make apparel for fuller figured gents who like to wear their trousers OVER their non-coloured-plastic boots.

    Lose some weight then. The bike will go faster and handle better, too.

    Fair comment. Alpinestar, Nolan, Brembo, MV Agusta and Ducati were pretty well advertised. Interesting enough though.

    Unfortunately that still won't get me into a Nolan helmet.
