FH was only once infamous? I agree with Future, the government in Oz tries to be into everyones business. Thank goodness the country is so big and the population so small. I've had my share of 2 wheel misfortune and choose to wear what I think is appropriate riding gear. On the other hand I tend to go beyond the speed limit when on 2 wheels and this might negate the safe clothing that I wear. Everyone that has responded to this thread has his/her own stories to tell about safety, but we must admit that we participate in risk taking behavior. As far as insurance premiums go, I've never seen them go down, only up. Is that because we are more unsafe now than we were in the past? On the whole, I don't think so.moonbeamerll wrote:Is FUTURE the reincarnation of the once infamous Funholiday?

She'llbe , the difference is Medicare and free hospitals .The taxes of the whole community pay for those so they have the right to set standards that mean less hospital time , less disability pensions , less carers pensions .She'llbe wrote:FH was only once infamous?

By wearing the cool vest under the mesh jacket, it still cools, but the jacket gives you the protection and armour. The phase change crystals in the vest work surprisingly well. I had doubts about the vest under the jacket but a friend assured me I should try it. It is actually better with the jacket because the mesh keeps a lot of the direct sun off, and provides protection, and still allows the cool air to circulate. The decision is yours, I just wanted to clear up that I was advising the vest under the mesh and not instead.Sibbo wrote: Thanks Gryphon ,but no thanks .I like sleeves , that vest leaves me way too exposed .
