You will always have fuckwits and wankers on bikes unfortunately. Motorcycles seem to attract these people.
The fuckwits and wankers need to wear gear because at some time they are going to crash and cost us all money.
Well I for one would be happy for minimum riding gear to be introuduced if the levies go down to reflect that. Or even making gloves compulsary would be a good start. Not a problem. Figure if people cant handle the gear because its too hot they need to harden up, walk or find another method of getting where they want to go.
Gold Diggers....like hookers just smarter
I wonder how many people choose to ride without gear after they've had an accident of reasonable proportions. Seeing people like the dude on his hot sport bike coming up Alfriston rd the other day wearing helmet, singlet, shorts and gumboots (yes, that was all) had me shaking my head. I can't help but wonder if these people have never had an off before so are ignorant of the possible end results, or whether they're just so tough that any previous injuries they've sustained isn't enough to alter their ways.
This topic is of recent relevance to me as I've recently learnt the hard way the importance of protective gear. I know I will never ride without ATG now, (had it all on except for leather pants) no matter how hot or "inconvenient" it might seem.
