I have been talking to an ex work collegue today who threw up an interesting comment that got me to thinking.
He is saying that there is a campaign among legislators in NZ to enforce the wearing of 'suitable protective clothing, padding or armour' when riding any type and size of motorcycle or moped.
I hav'nt heard this myself and cant say I've seen it discussed in any KB forum so far but I was wondereing if anyone had heard the same. I thought that riding gear was compulsory in northern European countries like Sweeden, Norway etc but cant be sure.
Must admit, after reading the recent 'numbskulls' thread it may be considered a good idea to enforce some kind of rules of that nature but for the life of me I cant see where it is even being considered in NZ.
What do you guys know / think etc?
