What? No Yamaha Folder!!
Just wondering why there's no Yamaha folder, and us YZF riders are stuck with the "others"
I mean, there's nothing wrong with other bikes, I even own something other than Yamaha..but, well I feel slighted
Cheers,James

Misfit,
Well being from Canada where the whole country has to wear helmets. There are no exceptions anywhere except private land.
I have always worn one, and while I have a "Daytona Beenie" for my crusier days, when I ride the YZF I wear a full face.
The riding still a few weeks off up here as we just got some more snow today
Cheers James

Yep,
Worse than that, all helmets worn in the UK must have a British Standard mark, in other words, you can buy exactly the same helmet, considerably cheaper, 30 miles across the Channel in France, but be prosecuted if you wear it here in the UK !! So much for European unity.

Hi James,
Yep, absolutely true. We can be prosecuted for wearing tinted visors, but we are allowed to wear sunglasses under the visor. Never mind that you can flip a visor up in a tunnel, for instance, or how much glass they would have to pick out of your eyes in the event of an accident, if you didn't wear plastic lenses in the shades, that's the law !!
The thing that really gets my back up is that most European countries have crash helmet laws, but most Police forces have better things to do than play nurse maid to bikers who don't wear helmets. Here in the UK, the Police would execute handbrake turns in the road and instigate a high speed pursuit to catch a biker riding without a crash helmet, even though only the rider himself is at risk. Yet they do nothing over drivers use of mobile ( cell ) phones whilst driving, even though they are endangering other road users.
GRRRRRRR.....

At what price protection?
It seems that whenever we allow a legislation that is to "protect" us what we are really doing is allowing governing bodies the eventual carte blanche to command us. We gotta be careful-world over. It would seem that government as we have come to see it today is NOT what the peoplemeant. At least, that is what is going to happen. In The Wind-Dan

Bloody savages
This world is full of savages........bloody savages. That's some messed up **** with your helmet laws over there across the pond. But you guys have one advantage that I have noticed. I picked up a British moto mag and low and behold there where naked chicks in there. So that's not so bad.
