One thing i'd never buy cheap though is a lid......power ranger stuff isnt for everyone and i'd not slag off someone in jeans and trainers either....

I wouldn't be bothered in the least by the price the helmet was as long as it was up to the job.

There's plenty of info available in mags and online about lids, some results can be suprising to say the least, the most important thing is fit, you'd be suprised how many are riding around in the wrong size helmet and you'd be amazed how useless a €500 lid is if it's a couple of sizes too big.

fair enough your choice, but I know I'd rather have the full gear on should the worst happen and someone pull out right in front of me etc...

Its funny how you don't hear many stories people who had a bad crash without gear and survived compared to the amount who have survived bad crashes with gear, not saying wearing gear is some magic bubble that prevents injurys, but the facts do speak for themselves.

Your choices, I just think its silly not to give yourselves the best chance of survival should the worst happen.

Give yourself an even better chance by driving a car

A long time ago I lost the front on gravel going into a bend, slid across the road and through a hedge wearing a hoodie, jeans and trainers, I got up and walked away with a few cuts and grazes, I know many others with similar stories, generally I find the atgatt crowd are the ones who go on about escapes, probably justifying their spend.

I've ridden in stiletto's twice. First time was normal shoes, second time was 7inch boots. I was being paid for it coz they were promo events. Its not something i'd do on the road. Youve got no grip and gear changing is a nightmare. I have no idea how yer one could do any distance in them... she must have big strong feet.

Give me my old boots anyday.:D

Do you think you could supply some kind of visual aid to demonstrate your point? Purely in the interest of public safety of course:D

I saw a fella with no helmet in Palmerstown on Friday last. He was coming from the direction where city spares used to be. I wish I had a head as hard and protective as that guy has.

Nothing to do with tough, down to luck, I also split a kneecap while wearing leathers, the gear has little to do with it, luck is the important thing.

Definitely. Its grand putting on all the gear if you're going out for a spin for a day, or doing a tour for a week. Different when you're heading 5 minutes down the road to the shop or something. Not going to put on your one piece leathers and back protector for that.

So you would rather lose a foot by wearing a pair of runners,rather than wear your boots,and maybe get a fractured or bruised foot/ankle in the event of a serious RTA.


See the thing is.....I actually value my life and my health and safety,regardless of whether the journey was 5 minutes down the road or 5 hours of a tour around the countryside.

Losing a foot is lucky now?

You said you dont and wont wear gear going out on a 5 minute trip.

You "just" wear jeans and runners.

You then said you would prefer to be lucky.

"Lucky" as in that you take the chance of not having any bikegear on you and dont happen to be involved in any RTA and sustain serious injury.


Now apply this post of yours and my last post to you and think about it for a minute.


Do you really need me to explain any more to you now here???

Being lucky means not getting in an accident in the first place. Being tough means possibly getting in an accident, but having the gear to protect you.

How could anyone have a problem with this is beyond me:

God yeah, do you honestly think luck doesn't play a huge part in walking away or not? A bigger part than the gear you're wearing?

no, Luck does play a part.

But which would you rather being wearing when luck isn't on your side? Runners jeans etc or boots + armor?

I know which I would rather.

I'd rather be wearing motogp standard one piece made to measure leathers with titanium plates and kevlar reinforcements, a back hump and air bag. I'm guessing that's what you wear

Wear what you want, simple. Unless it gets made law nobody has the right to tell anybody else what to wear on their bike regardless of whether it's in their own interests or not. Just keep your beak out.

Have worn heeled boots on the bike a few times when I didn't fancy having to change footwear, awkward for changing gears etc. but nothing you can't get used to, prefer my comfy TCX boots though. Funnily enough I didn't break every bone in my body in one of these phantom accidents that apparently only occur when you're not wearing all your gear.
