You are a complete moron, if you think you can have a "big off", without protection, and a damned liar sir  |

| I have had 3 big offs (in my 26 years riding) in 2 of them I wasn't wearing leathers (let alone 'armour') and did not have a trip to A&E because of it. Go figure. Now, i know you are making it up :!: Indeed - and that belief is likely to get riders into trouble in the first place 'I feel safe' ... |

| Red diesel is not subject to this duty because it can only be (legally) used in vehicles that are off road. Yes, this is the point i was making, farmers do not pay the fuel tax. It is also now becoming more regular to see a tractor towing a trailer, hauling their goods, without paying the fuel duty... |

| 'Better protected' or leave a beautiful corpse? Hit something hard enough and you'll still die from internal injures. Take a low speed slide down the road in a T shirt & shorts and your next destination is the A & E, without doubt. Take a slide down the road with armour, and you have far be... |

Quote: You know how many of the KSI statistics are from people only wearing 'T shirt & shorts'? 
No stats that i have seen.
I am 100% positive that a rider wearing armour will be protected far better than a rider in a T shirt & shorts.
Unless you have evidence to the contrary  |

Quote: I'm afraid you are harbouring a delusion. 'ACU' approval is a scheme that creates income (£5 per helmet) for the ACU sticker.
No dilusion, you are not permitted on a track without Gold ACU standard. |

AFPC, a French road safety organisation have urged the French to look at British for the safest standard in driving in Europe.
They state "British courtesy behind the wheel is Legendary"
Seems we are to be the role model, or an excuse to stick in loads of cameras  |

| £200 is about the average for good quality helmet nowadays. Yet all the helmets expensive or cheap have to be type approved so offer an acceptable level of safety to go on sale. British standard, is the minimum required. ACU approved standard, which has achieved a higher testing standard, that being... |

Here lies the problem, how do you identify someone correctly.
Driving License, Birth Certificate?
Any document which can be forged. |

Damn impossible to keep within the speed limits, and not suitable for a novice. It is forgiving, as it is so nimble, but really needs to be inexperianced hands |
