We should take bets... ACC are still the ones that pay on accident costs. if you crash, regardless, it will cost the taxpayer, police time, ambulance hospital. Medical bills aren't the only thing that costs money.
I have health insurance too, but it is ACC that pays for my medical care as a result of any accidents I may have.

MXPX responsibilty, whats that? Need I go on?

Like I said before, I have crashed a couple of times on a standard pushbike at over 60km/hr, and yes I got hurt a bit, but it doesn't really bother me. That is part of the risk of riding a pushbike. Do you think I should take full leathers on one of those too?

Funny, the riders on tour d france that crash at those speeds often end up dead...

Statistically KZ that's bollocks, since 1903 there have been three deaths on the TdF, one of those was due to drugs and exhaustion. The last one was Fabio Casartelli, who's head hit a concrete block following a crash on a descent, but how many high speed spills have there been in 103 years?

Mostly it's areas of skin lost and broken limbs and collar bones....

No Zapf, nothing, nada, zip, zero. I was going to wait till the end of the week to see if they would respond.

Now because they haven't I am thinking that either their website submit comment thingy is either broke, or they have chosen to ignore me. I think the latter. So I could either try again, or not, knowing that they probably have read this and are just too shy to respond.

All I can hope is that they have read the letter, and the posts in this thread and will take some of the critisism on board and do something about it.

Does anyone here know anyone who works for Domino's, as it would be interesting to see if anything has happened.

wtf hax,

I just appiled to be a delivery boy for dominoes on my gpz1000(cc) - im going to wear the kit (jacket gloves helmet boots) but i'll ask what gear i need to ride in what the proseedures are etc etc, most of the time the managers are students them selfs and dont really care to be frank.....

Yes I know tires and gas on my bike is probably going to = the ammount I get payed, but im getting a cape and going to become pizza man so it will be good.

Note today I rode to the petrol station with no gear at all, not even a helmet, I personnaly dont have a problem with "safty gear" I wear it (because it keeps me warm) but I wouldnt turn around and go home if i forgot my boots, hell I wouldnt even jump off my bike for boots (jacket helmet and gloves if it was a cold day...)

I do make the effort for safty gear, and it is worthwhile, im just the kind of guy who does first thinks later...

To hell with it, SAFTY GEAR IS FOR WIMPS! - ahhh feels alot better. IMHO you have to feeel the ride maaan, that includes the gravel ripping your skin from your face at 200kph......
