Good or Bad!

CE marking for all bike kit.

First I thought good.

 :o Then I thought:

What about the cost of the new kit - they have to recover their money spent testing somehow?
Will it then be VAT Free?
What if it does become compulsory to only wear approved clothes? Will you need to junk what you already have and buy more?

i like this, no more questionable staff in market. After all DAINESE  is the only factory with the facilities to perform those tests, and that brand is proven to offer reliable products.

As one whose jackets, boots and gloves are all CE marked, I guess I must be in favour of it.

Brian (whose pants ain't and until wear out I intend to keep wearing em  8) )

PS Strip searches at the side of the road anyone?

I thought  buy more again and again is what we motorcycle riders do , and we do it all the time, for ever as long as we live (as long as we have the money to do so) someone could add.
