    Found this site which is has a bit on info on body amour. For those of us that dont use it. Watch some of the videos regarding the armour. Was interesting hearing that we spend so much on new exhausts etc, but we dont spend the mony onprotecting ourselves.

    Don't even need to spend very much to get better protection. I found a perfectly good Teknic back protector on Trademe for $60. Fits fine under the leathers (even with a built-in hump). A bit hot when you're standing around but you don't notice it when you're riding, until you come off!

    A guy I know reckons neck protection is the most important thing. Reckons it will save you permanent paralysis that you get from your head snapping sideways in an off, he should know because thats what happened to him. I reckon those collars are a bit impractical still but ......

    I agree that you dont have to spend to much. Some of us already use armour, and i just thought it would be a good idea for those that dont to look at the option when purchasing safety gear.

    Hmmm, sounds good.
    Been riding both days for the last 3 weekends, really have to do some stuff round the property.
    Plus of course live superbikes from 1.30 tommorrow too........

    But not ruling it out completely, but not looking good.

    Definately going to Palmy next weekend, dunno what day, if anyone's up for a ride.
    Will prob hook up with some from Palmy KB, and I want to check out a bike at Anza.
