I was driving home last night on the N1 towards Fourways, and was as always amazed to see how many dual sport  bikes are on the road particullarly 650 Dakars, I was as usual drawn to what protective gear the guys wear ( nothing to do with brands)  i.e jacket, pants gloves boots etc, as I am always astounded by what I see at the weekend from the Superbike Warriors who scream past wearing nothing but jeans and T shirts ( best was a couple of weeks ago on the Lanseria road was shorts, T shirt and slops) or the other best for me is the driver in full leathers, Shark helmet the whole nine yards and the Vrou on the back with nothing, it then struck me that I dont think I can recall one occassion where I have seen a DS Rider with no protective kit on.
Considering the difference in the speeds we DS bikers ride at compared to the Superbikes, it certainly makes me think.
All I can say is hats off to the DS fraternity. ;) ;)
