    Stop whinging, for goodness sake.



    Don't worry about what everyone is wearing. There are views and places you haven't seen yet.



    There was someone down in that valley fanging about on a big bore MX bike too.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    I have to agree, I can't help but cringe when I see someone in an open faced helmet and gloves that don't protect their hands adequately. But it is his risk and it's not like I haven't done stupid & dangerous shit myself, so I'll just cringe and not throw stones. My advice to any motorcyclist would be to wear a full faced helmet and decent gloves, but you are all entitle to ignore that advice at your own peril - I wont be yelling at you from the roadside if you ride past without the good gear on.

    If the regulations changed banning open faced helmets I would be fine with that, I never wear anything other than full faced anyway and I can flip up mine when stopped. But it isn't my head at risk when someone else wears an open faced helmet so, like, whatever dudes & dudettes.

    Great photo BD!
    Would be hypocritical of me to jump on the ATGATT bandwagon...or any bandwagon for that matter.

    J2 I presume that was you I waved at on the hill yesterday heading back when I was heading out on the DR650 on this ride http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...ad.php?t=83780 with the boys. It was such a nice day I just wore my black jeans, couldn't be bothered putting my usual leather trou on, but then I started riding before full face helmets, cordura, kevlar, knee sliders and all that stuff was even on the market.

    You're right about the whinging, and it makes me laugh every time I see a thread when one rider tries to tell another rider what they should be doing when a lot start out riding bikes to be different than driving the car for a different bit of enjoyment so they don't need being told what to do.

    There are too many places to be ridden before we need to degenerate to whinging because we have nothing else to do.

    I guess you figure I'm not insistent on ATGATT I'm more of a WWYFL kind of guy.
    Cheers
