Lovely, Anyway, Enough of that nonsense, How's the bike?
The GS 'is' the better bike :-)
Re: Helite Airbag Safety Vest
Helite makes a couple of jackets one for adventure riders is on hot side, their summer jacket allows more air movement, i’am about to pull the trigger on this one as most of my riding is in warmer weather

The bike is fine, I was on a FJR, it had the bungs fitted. Did make me think that maybe crash bars on my RT maybe not a bad idea

How does one get knocked off, whilst being stationary on a liveried bike & wearing hi vis.
The local blood bike group also require a white helmet to be worn.

Not going to get into a discussion on an open forum, but needless to say, if someone backs into your front wheel, you will go down
