I might get one of these. If it doesn't interfere with my movements, I might wear it on the street too.

What an intelligent, well thought out response. And I've never seen anyone over the age of 12 say twat, thank you for that.

"if you don't read any other post this year, read this one."

I guess that means we should steer clear of the rest of the thread which seems to be just piling sand up in the corner.

Been doing some research, MCN had a quick bit on it saying that it was good for sport bikes.

As for only on the track, I'm of the opinion that you're more likely to hit stuff on the street than at the track (sport bike) so if you're going to wear it at the track you should wear it on the street. I might get one.

hyperbole |hīˈpərbəlē|

exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally.

Really, I ordered one. Call me crazy but I feel anything I can do to minimize the risk of spinal cord injury is worthwhile.
Yeti, I would love to check it out when you get it. Hopefully we'll see each other on a ride someday this spring/summer.

I agree they are VERY pricey, but hell, if you got in an accident and were paralyzed as a result would you trade $1000 bucks for a chance at not being paralyzed? I think "yes". Would you trade never having rode a motorcycle for not being paralyzed? That's a question I assume we've all asked ourselves, and answered "no" which is why we choose to take the risk to ride. But I would like to minimize my risk and still have some fun.

That being said, if they aren't comfortable or impede head motion while riding, I don't know if it would be worth using. I definately want to see it and try it before I plunk down anywhere from $400 to $1000 - but I'm very interested. Thanks to the original poster for posting it up.

There's also been a lot of discussion recently about the importance of wearing a chest protector, too. apparently a novice track-day rider crashed a few weeks ago at roebling road, landed on his chest, broke several ribs, punturing his aorta in the process. he passed away later that day at the hospital... a chest protector MIGHT have prevented that injury...
