    If you buy a good bike that can handle and stop you won’t crash so much :P

    Don’t think any body armour can stop broken or dislocated shoulders its just an injury that can happen very easily in our sport, broken leg probably the same problem, boots and knee braces don’t stop the leg from snapping sideways the way yours did.

    If you spend too much on protection you will be mowing the lawn in it because she won’t let you spend anymore on a bike.

    I have good boots but have still hurt my ankle and feet in them, cheap body armour that stops roost and elbow grazes, knee pads (which have saved my knees from heaps of bruises) and a good comfy helmet.

    Even with the best gear money can buy shit can still happen, but if that what it takes to be allowed to get back out riding without getting a divorce I would buy every piece of protection available. :)

    I did 110kms in a 2 hr cross country recently, but I once only did 3kms in about 2 hrs, so i guess my riding has been pretty diverse :)

    No adventure riding though 👿

    Tamworth manners insist that anyone but Damus is fair game. He is of limits not because hes the sweep but because he’s the mechanic. Sweeps are replaceable but a good mechanic isn’t . Oh yeah the local copper is not to be roosted either no matter how deep the mud or where he is in the pack

    Coppers get double roosted 👿 👿

    F#$K the Police!!!!

    Ok here is another question

    What is the sweep for

    All I reckon he is their for is to keep the group together, or unofficially inform the group on the go that everyone has caught up

    Unless you are on a paid ride he doesn’t,t have. To fix your bike
    Occasionally lending a hand to someone who is wasted

    As for roosting if he is a mate you can do what you like,until he tells you what he really thinks ,or leaves you on the side of the track (depending on what his mrs looks like)

    If he’s not a mate at least introduce yourself first :laugh: ,
    If his bike is orange there are no rules

    The sweep is obviously at the back all day , if he can,t work out that it’s coming from the tyre In front of his face and avoids it , Maybe he should be riding for a latte
    There is a lot of unintentional roost out there, some people some bikes throw more
    Most people ride off as soon as they see them, before they get there anyway

    On the corner it may be better if you didn’t roost anyone intentionally, unless its that bloke that you really despise

    On the trail if your behind someone its fair game ,unless your electing them to help you on the next hill :P

    suck it up boony you princess all you have done by posting this thread was put a target on your chest/face :) :laugh:

    I’ll summarise Bobs answer

    Yes its ok to roost the sweep and anyone else on the ride including the leader! :laugh:
