[ST] Re: Protective clothing

[Andrew Bell <abell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Chris,

they should draw and quarter cage operators that do dumb ass shit and 
injure Bikers. Or better yet, you can personally pay the 50% surcharge 
you're suggesting to any of us that get butchered. Good gear only goes so 
far in protecting you. When some cell phone yacking bimbo in a 6000lb SUV 
plows into you, you really think a helmet and leather is going to stop 
blunt trauma? It might only make the difference between a open or closed 
casket.

Of course that's just MHO,
