I've even been spotted at Lyall Bay practicing wearing the same thing.

I'm thinking the poor soul died of head injuries due to the lack of a decent helmet? Have to be going fucken fast to kill yourself against the back of a car and die from internal injuries.

The key here is that you have the information to make an informed decision. I couldn't give a toss what people choose to ride in....as WT said...we all make our own decisions.

The important factor is...do we have the information to base the decision on. You don't know what you don't know.

When I first got into riding, the only piece of protective gear I had was a helmet, it didn't take long for people to tell me of the dangers of this, I was then in a better position to make a risk assessment and now accept the risks when I choose not to wear a piece of gear!
