    Fucktard protective gear fail

    Saw a guy on a bike today. Sure, wearing leathers, boots, helmet, etc. But they were all cheap shit. The gloves didn't have kevlar or knuckle armour. The jacket didn't have any soft armour by the looks, and the boots I recognised as budget model with below average protection.

    Fucking idiots like this are costing us ACC levies.

    Easy to say that, but I feel it's not that simple. Personally I reckon what's costing us with ACC levies is the hidden agenda. But he'll, what do I know!

    It wouldn't even be rated as a "good try"

    Damn, I bet he was not wearing a neck brace, armoured vest, or any other hard body armour. Bastard!

    Wsn't trying to troll. Trying to point out that people makign posts about someone not wearing x amount of gear are being twats.

    If we keep all getting precious about someone not being ATGATT then nek minnit it'll be the quality of the gear, and then nek minnit fuck it bikes are too dangerous lets ban them.

    Stop being safety nazis and get off the fucking horse! Worry about your own skin, boohoo about your levies. A reduction in crash stats WONT change a fucking thing.

    I think we need to bring the extra dimension into the Internet so we can understand what the hell people are actually meaning when they write something. I understand more from my Mrs!
