That's fucking stupid. You can smash your head open at way less than 50.

Are you sure about the speed part of that ? Sikhs have had an exemption from day one.
Ever looked at the turban closely ? Probably better than an old pom "pudding basin"

I don't think God lets them get hurt, but I maybe wrong.

If the exemption is on the grounds of religion and official - they sure will.

(8) A person is not in breach of subclause (1) if the person proves that at the time of the commission of the alleged breach he or she was an adherent of the Sikh religion.
(9) Subclause (8) does not apply if the vehicle was being driven at a speed exceeding 50 km per hour.

Interesting - wonder when that was added.

Probably why I've never seen a Sikh racing bikes too...

That's a surprising post given your recent bullying comments on KB.

You probably have, it is just that you have taken the view that turbans are nailed on to the head or something and cannot be replaced with a helmet when the need arises.

There's more than one religion in India

Sikhs wouldn't have this group otherwise

I'm not that narrow minded, LOL. I can't see the vid you posted, sorry but I'll assume it shows Indians racing.

I'll clarify what I posted. To my knowledge, in a NZ context, I've never seen a Sikh racing a motorcycle. Yes, some years back we had a nice young NZ born Indian come and race with Canterbury. Not a Sikh - he was clear on that. Over the years I've been to a lot of major North Island meetings too. Never seen one identifiable Sikh - and i'd expect that if one did come to race he'd bring at least one friend as support who should have worn the turban. If a Sikh has raced in NZ, good. I can't claim to have seen everyone.

I'd love to see a more ethnically diverse group racing bikes. Gradually, I think we're seeing more Maori too. At the moment in CAMS we have a surprising range of nationalities ex europe but not a lot of asians.

Where do you get the figures about who was wearing what gear when they crashed and how much they cost?
