BTW, judging by the number of bike threads there have been lately and the amount of posts they get I think there should be a bike section on CS 
Who agrees?  Not sure if it's been suggested before so just thought I'd put it forward.

Would be the start of a can of worms as to opening other sections really. There's only been one of 2 threads I wouldn't say it warrants another section!
Daimo, I agree.

radicalry - i mentioned this a while back , and also mention it in this thread, but dont think they will do anything about it ( as it is a corsa website, if you want a motorbike one, then go on one, think that was one of the replies if i mine right!)
all the bike ones are pish though.
balls of steel `vs` balls of wool

I wear gear that is just as adiquate as a power-ranger suit but with the added benefit of not looking lite a complete and utter tool!

Plain black leathers not a problem but all this race rep bull-crap just screams gaylord!
I wear a jacket with Knox armour (liner for the winter), urban cammo armoured trousers, sidi vertebra boots that are about a gazillion years old and some kevlar gloves, none of it matches The only problem I have is I just end up looking like a psycho.
One bad habit I've got is I wear a helmet that I have had for over 10 years, its totally fucked but Its so comfortable! I've got a brand new lid but its just not the same.

I know, I know, but its so comfortable 
But to be fair my supermoto can barely reach a tonne with its gearing and I rarely go over 70mph so I would hope (considering its the dogs bollocks) it still offers me enough protection

I know what you're saying about the lid but you will get used to the new lid I hated mine to start with and was wearing my old one which had taken a previous whack but you soon wear it in!

I don't have that problem?
I make sure my lids fit properly before buying them tbh, so not really that much difference
Although, i've ordered my new one in Small, but med is too big, and I need my bonce cut.

how do you figure this like??
if they arent very protective,then its seems strange that all the motorbike racing riders wear leather??
if it wasnt very safe i dont think these guys would wear it as safety i one of their highest aims!!
airbag suits etc
