If it ain't nothing to do with Harley's, and doesn't suit another forum, post it here.

What an absolute load of shit. I challenge anyone to crash as often and hard as I have without armour and still be walking better than I am. I won't even consider riding fast without it. Anyone that says it doesn't work really isn't trying.

Yea I call BS too. You might still get hurt wearing armour, but that's the nature of the beast. The goal is to reduce the damage. Less damage = easier to fix, either naturally or via the white coat folk.

The only reason I still have a functioning left shoulder is due to body armour, try being 100kgs, flying up in the air and landing on your shoulder, on the kerbstones and walking (well, crawling) away with only a posterior dislocation of the shoulder without wearing body armour...you'd be fucked and then some.

I won't ride without it.
