    Good work, my only time on the tarmac has been my own fault thru totally misjudging how much time and space I needed to turn a corner

    That's when I really appreciated the benefit of protective gear

    Yh gotta love protective gear although the strange looks you get when someone asks what you ride and you point at a moped is funny normally with the words you dont need all that to ride it

    Oh I've had that, why do you wear all that when you're on a moped ha ha ha

    Ok, whizz along at 60-65mph and then come off it and you will see why I wear what I wear.

    Run a belt sander at 42mph and then hold your bare arm on it for 5seconds!! That's why all smart riders wear some kind of protective gear.
    I've come off at 25mph wearing just jeans and bike jacket. Even at that low speed I bruised up my knee and leg. What amuses me is when I'm cruising in traffic at, say, 30 in my full bike gear and a cyclist flies past in his lycra shorts and flimsy helmet. I wonder what the injuries are like when they come off.

    Oh no cyclists are immune to everything and the rules of the road are optional. Lycra however needs to be banned
