Really makes me laugh too. $20,000 bike, $1000 helmet, $700 jacket then wears shorts and thongs, DOH!!!!!!
I have been riding for a very long time and I have seen some pretty nasty accidents.

After seeing the damage done to hubby's steel capped harley boots after a minor accident i have made sure both of us cover up well... only takes 1 stone on the road to ruin your life...

Do you race your 250 or is it just a muck around bike like my raptor

I'm not gunna speak for the guy, but I doubt he races it. It's a 2 stroke and has no numbers on it. Everyone races 4 strokes now.

My mother has seen the helmet and steel capped boots of our friend who was killed in January. (his wife has them) The helmet was good quality and the steel caps were brand new. The boots had been scraped right down the the steel, and the helmet was cracked all the way around and was filled with blood. According to the police, he might as well have been wearing a paper bag over his head, helmets aren't designed to withstand impact at 120km. :cry: We went over to where the accident happened the day it happened, and we took two plastic bags full of bits of the bike and even bits of the helmet. His wife said that 3 other people have also told her about picking up things from the site. We took those things because we didn't want his wife to go down there and see it, it was bad enough that she was going to Melbourne to identify him. Obviously whoever is meant to clean up after incidents like these failed to do their job.

My mate is buying a 98 CBR 250RR fireblade. The older ones are better, they rev to 19k, the new ones sound like an XR80 and rev to 12 lol. They go OK for a 250, too. 190kmh is all good I'm going to buy one, too. Sick of fuel costs.

1st Bike: Honda CBR125R - bought to save money on fuel from driving a V8, bike - $5000 + $4 a week on fuel.

2nd Bike: Suzuki GSX-R 600 - bought coz was having too much fun on the first bike but it wasn't fast or powerful enough to keep up with traffic. Lost $2000 selling first bike, paid $13000 for new one.

3rd Bike: Kawasaki Z1000 - bought coz the 2nd bike wasn't found to be too comfortable after 30 mins of riding. Lost $3000 selling second bike, paid $16000.

Spent $21000 on bikes to save fuel driving the V8. Hmmm, how long is that going to take to be in front again...lol
