    Gotta be a wind up or a troll guys! or he's never taken that old BSA in an Enduro ride! I thank god for my Azonic armour damn near eveytime I go out!
    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

    'Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out! Shouting, ' Holy sh!t... What a Ride!! '

    ive never actually worn body armour.. ive got a kidney belt tho..

    Ive never really had any chest injuries before, its always just twisting my legs and gettn them tangled up in the handle bars every time i fall off that gives me the injuries
    My choice is what I choose to do,
    And if I'm causing no harm, it shouldn't bother you.

    I tend to connect with a tree most rides, usually cutting the corner & whacking my shoulder into a branch or the tree itself, so quite happy to have a pressure suit.

    I did take the back off, but put it back on after talking to someone who'd ended up going backwards into a tree & he reckoned it saved him big time.

    Im looking for some body armour to combat the constant bruises and grazes, something with elbow pads. I found this, its at the cheaper end of the scale BUT is it worth going cheaper. looks like it would do the trick and its within budget. are there any reasons not to buy it.??

    And really handy when your being shot at or on the Waiouru army camp trail ride
    Whether you think you can or cant - you will always be right.
