Its funny in a car i wouldnt dream of travelling anywhere the speed limit on dust in rural areas or riding my motorcycle in anything but leathers , boots , gloves and helmet yet on the bicycle recently in Bright i was doing 80+ ks following a group . Lyrca , foam hardlid and no gloves - stupidity
Yet it doesn't seem to hold the same fears as if i doing it on my trail or road motorbike
I can only imagine the speeds we are going to see with road bikes now equipped with disk brakes
PS . Spare a thought for the guys chasing you down Donna behind a car doing 80+ on a long skate board .Mmm definitely not for me i will take my chances on my bike

I totally agree. On a push bike we feel invincible, but on a motorbike I have never felt more vulnerable. I think its the fear of the heavy motor bike landing on you in the event of an accident that worries me the most. Where as my push bike I will protect with my life even if I get road rash, impaled with a fence post or made into a permanent hood ornament. haha go figure
