Last weekend whilst having a fantasmic flying around KORMCS MX track at Katherine - it's a great flowing track which caters for all skill levels run by a super-duper club! This track is a real pleasure to ride.
anyhow I was really enjoying myself into my third lap then all of a sudden I was in the A&E at Katherine Hospital stark naked

an air flight to Darwin and a couple days later I am rather sore, tired and still naked.


The only item which was not cut from my bod was my boots which hg thankfully saved. back brace, jocks, bra pants - the lot all cut and confercated - bugger

So thanks to wonderful ambos and medical staff in both Katherine and Darwin I will be able to ride again (hopefully I will be out of hospital in the next few days and be at DMCC's Gunn Point Track on Sunday to cheer on the Polaris Ladies Quad Class - can't ride yet)

So now - I am in need of some retail therapy - or I shall be riding in my boots only.


I need a helmet, jersy, pants, armour basically everything and am looking for your opinion on what you think I should try to afford?
designs, colors, styles, brands etc
I hate sooky colors and love my sexy red outlaw 525

ps - hey gravedigger - your better than me - I am nearly going crazy already - just dreaming about getting back on my outlaw again however the drugs are definately not MA approved

Yeah vjcrose, maybe we could both return to the track in only our gear
remaining, I've got boots, 661 pressure suit,helmet,gloves & jocks.

Anyway, more importantly how are you,hope the damage is not too serious and your back out there soon. Those "drugs", crikey I can honestly say that of near 8 weeks in Canberra I don't remember too much of it.

All the best for a speedy and full recovery.
Regards Dean.

thanks sik will have to see if i can find em to try em on here in darwin. I have actually not heard much about that 661 brand. Have you had a stak with one on - how well did it protect your nog - they reckon the dead wood inside my m2r stopped it from smashing. I find the arai to close to my face and feel nausea/claustrophobic however that may have just been one style or my mood that day. however am open to all suggestions thanks for your reply.

i think most helmets with the aussie standard would be just about same in safety as they get similar or same test done to get the standard

and i am now using nemisis riding gear a chinese brand off ebay cost me $112 for top and pants with postage ........ and i find it more comfy then my $400 thor gear and quality wise only downside i can complian about was knee emblem rubbed off and onto my sticker kit but otherwise they are great lower leather panel inner leg and all

I have had a few decent stacks with this gear on. It must work, i can still walk, talk and breath.

I had an M2r helmet before this 661 helmet, it was heavy and bulky compared to my new helmet.
