Yes, it seems like a reasonable idea.
No, it should be up to each of us.

Perhaps no full gear no acc seems fair to me. Every body wants to do what they wont. But still hold there hand out when it turns to shit.

I think there needs to be some form of compulsory gear,
Full face helmet? how bout just one that complies with NZ law whether it be full face or open face (up to the individual).
Personally I'd never wear an open face unless I didn't have a choice, any lid is better than no lid.
However no open footwear - Definitely.
Gloves - Definitely.
Full arm and leg covering - Definitely.
I see to many people riding around on scooters and bikes in nothing more than shorts, T's and jandels!
Full safety gear I don't think should not be made compulsory as it's not that affordable to some and might put a lot of people off riding and I wouldn't want that, it's too much fun.

Yes abosolutely, cause its good for business

I am amazed, I never thought the Make It Compulsory numbers would be so high. More than 20% of KBers!
They sure keep a low profile, I guess they are a bit afraid to speak out and get flamed down.
If that's the percentage amongst motorcyclists, imagine what percentage would be returned by the cage-driving public and even politicans!
Very very interesting!

Should full gear be made compulsory? (Full-face helmet, jacket, pants, boots, gloves) ?
Depends on the type of gear...Force people to wear full-on leathers to duck out to the dairy for a pint of milk on the scooter? that's a bit tough.
you'd need to establish a minimum acceptable standard of PPE as OSH idoes for workers in the workplace...
People should be free to choose the level of protection so for some Draggin jeans are great while others, for reasons like how they ride may dictate a full on squid suit.
gee wizzz
PROVIDED--your gear was govmint approved of courseYes abosolutely, cause its good for business

Well Technically it has been as we supply the Government riding gear via the NZ Army.

Oooh a scary bee....So I'm guessin that none of you people who voted no have been hit by a bee at 100 clicks? Let alone a car or truck or Boeing 747? Huh huh???! Yeah, I thought not!
Is your neck exposed in your gear? Better get compulsory neck armour too.
Visor up? No no son, not now because it's illegal. You might get a bee on your nose.
Tinted visors? Nope, illegal. You never know when you'll be out at night and opening your visor is a dangerous hazard (plus we've just made it illegal).

That is natural selection and it's good to see that we haven't eradicated it entirely from the human society!So I'm guessin that none of you people who voted no have been hit by a bee at 100 clicks? Let alone a car or truck or Boeing 747? Huh huh???! Yeah, I thought not!
I don't know about atgatt compulsory, but at least motgatt would be a start.
Seriously, some of the riders I've seen on the open road with a t-shirt, open face helmet and no gloves are just begging to lose their jaw, all their skin and appendages.
Dumb!
D.
But yeah bees hit surprisingly hard. Got a big bruise from one through my leathers once. Birds are worse...
Didn't know you guys did life jackets - that's the only safety gear I thought was appropriate when all the army does is getting unimogs stuck in the Waimak.Well Technically it has been as we supply the Government riding gear via the NZ Army.
