    You could scream it from the rooftops Pete, only those who want to hear will listen. Don't forget they are all bulletproof and after all, they are only riding scooters. What could go wrong?.

    I'd say you could break you neck in a minor tumble with your helmet opened like that.

    Nice one Pete

    Yeah, Dunners is full of scarfies riding mopeds & scooters and haphazard manner, weaving all over the place,often going too fast for the circumstance due to lacking in grunt i.e. the rider doesn't want to lose the momentum they have spent 10 minutes building up.

    And a heap of those scooters have an acre of duct-tape holding the platic bits together (or said bits are missing altogether) so they've been down once or twice, maybe they just fell over, othertimes grinding their way down the road.

    But ya still see hawt sheilas riding them while wearing shorts, tank-top and jandals - and only wearing a helmet 'cos the law sez they have to.

    Ditto, I've done two silvers and they've been great; funnily enough each time they suggested I should do another silver before going for gold , so i might do a bronze soon for a change.

    Kudos to all the trainers out there .

    Just got my rego in the mail, thanks ACC! Definitely doing one or more now.

    Unfortunately I have the experience to say no. Highsided at 30-40kph with my flip open and no issue (well, for my neck, the helmet was obviously fucked).

    What do you say about lycra-clad cyclists? If we are interested in consistency.

    Personally I'm a believer in ATGATT, but... when riding around the town I see cyclists moving just as fast as I am.

    You performed every accident scenario in this crash? That was very thorough of you.

    I cant even rationalise that myself.

    I always wear ATGATT on my moped and motorbikes, but when I'm road cycling I'm happy to go downhill at 70 kmh in lycra.

    Can't even figure that one myself.
