I see Welshman's HP2 Sport has made an appearance in October's issue of Ride in the riders' photos section

Thanks for spotting it. It arrived yesterday but I didn't turn to the 3rd page of pics.

That pic is currently my desktop background.

I've just found an amusing website which I'm sure some of you know: Fail Blog


Proper biking protective gear:

JMP

Each time I see a biker not properly dressed with protection in mind it really makes me shiver. I've still got signs of injury and road rash from falling off a pedal bike at the end of April.

Just yesterday had a guy on an R6 pull up beside me at lights. I was in a car. He had no gloves, jeans and a fleece on.

it's an interesting one JMP, I used to commute on my mountain bike and would sometimes do speeds of upto 50mph at one particular downhill stretch

in shorts and a t shirt, no helmet. had one off in ten years of that though, very cautious of traffic, i got hit while on the pavement of all places .. oh and ran someone over on the cycle track

I never go out on the honda without proper jacket, gloves, boots etc but am thinking of getting some of the kevlar jeans for short, low speed trips around town

Nice boots

Saw a demo of those Kevlar jeans and did look very good at withstanding some heavy abuse. Just the lack of knee armour that bothers me.

you can install knee armour in some draggin jeans and hood but yes, i know what you mean

Gave the blade a spanking I Really need to sort the suspension over winter as was nervous over the surface changes at Snetterton but was a great day out.
