...those who practice the Sikh religion dont need to wear helmets at all. They are exempt! So someone riding around without all the gear on with this bullshit exemption...go figure

They cant wear a helmet, because everytime they take off the tea towel the dishes fall out.

Gold - right there. For real? Us gals can go commando? That just brings a whole new level of fun to summer riding.

You should be required to do nothing. You should be properly informed, educated and allowed to make your own decisions.

I think there would probably be a bikoi if you decided to do that kp.

Most generous, cheers. Anyone assuming I haven't educated myself and made my very own decision can get fucked.

I'm sick and tired of fuckwits who's only interpretation of the fact that I don't agree with their opinion is that I don't understand and that I need "educating". Big black dog up 'em.

I notice the arseholes are never around when the local chapter need "educating" about churman helmet compliance issues.

Yes, this is turning into a big fuckin nanny police nation, like most of the rest of the world. Sure you should be able to ride without protective gear, but fuck why cant you ride without a helmet then?

Just if you come of and smash your face on the curb, then tough luck. Hope your titanium oakleys gave your face enough protection. But why should we have to pay super high levies for fuckwits that decide to not use common sense, and come off their bikes leaving a 100meter trail of meaty gayness leading up to a crashed bike?

and there's also the ones that don't wear all the gear

Fair question and one I have asked many times, usually after seeing some fat bastard riding in jandals.

Once I saw a photograph of a motorcyclist who had been wearing jandals and had a crash, the part of the jandal that goes between his toes was lodged in his ankle - split his foot apart when he hit the deck when the jandal stopped but the foot kept going forward at 100 or so!

Oh bla bla bla free choice bla bla argument.

The thing is ACC also pays out for the utterly stupid - if you are dirty dancing on your desk at work and the desk collapses and you get hurt then ACC will pay.

So basically if you are stupid enough not to wear any form of protective gear other then the legal requirement then ACC will cover you and probably add it to the motorcycle statistics so they may charge more on our collective regos.

Also consider cars - does ACC still pay out if you crash and are NOT wearing a seat belt? IMO they should not.
But even if you are wearing one you can be naked with a newspaper over your dick parked outside a school and have a truck run up the back of your car and ACC will cover your injuries.

And if they made some form of clothing compulsory in cars then you'll never get to see another mini-skirted young lady bending over getting her handbag from the passenger seat again.

Just what the fuck was my point? I lost myself at miniskirt .......
