No gloves, proper footwear etc. I always wear gloves even in summer. If you come off the first thing you do is to put your hands out to protect yourself so your hands do need protection. Yes you do see people riding scooters wearing shorts, t-shirt and jandles. There is no protection when dressed like this if you have an accident.	Bobh (5192)
1190032	2011-03-28 20:43:00	The problem is not the stupid clothing choices people make riding two-wheeled vehicles, it's further back in the decision-making chain: ACC. The fact that it's there and available for all means that many people don't bother to think about consequences of actions. If ACC was not the soft mattress at the bottom of the cliff and medical treatment had to be paid for by individuals, there would be fewer idiots riding motorcycles with jandals. Of course, we would then have the nightmare that is the American medical system, where it would cost $1000 to change a sticking plaster (although from some of the charges from non-public emergency care I have heard of recently, I think we're moving that way anyway...) and people would clog the courts with spurious civil suits.	johcar (6283)

As a a non car driver I am pissed that my registration has gone up to cover so called costs. I believe that the best thing would could do to prevent accidents is to remove ALL car and vehicle insurance...Man would that make people look both ways... and in mirrors... :mad:	ruup (1827)

I had noticed that, looking at moving from Slingshot when 12 months is up, they don't seem to give a toss about my B/B speeds. As you say they like to complicate things with different packages.
