    I have a EVS pressure suit with one built in, it has four bands of support. I wear it every ride any bike except the postie :laugh:
    It pulls the back protector in tight as well as a bonus

    Do you think the pressure suit back protectors actually do anything other than stop scratches , stabs etc ? Mine wouldn’t stop a serious injury IMO !

    Not quiet as smooth as i would have liked. I had only been on the bike 5min and took the wrong trail.

    :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

    :D at least you had a go mate , it was a nasty up hill landing that would have hurt it if went wrong !!

    Nice arty shot of your DRZ at the beginning though (1:12 mark ) !!

    This thing is 16kg lighter than my WR 450……
    Straight out of the box i felt right at home on this bike….
    The power delivery was awesome….as was the handling…
    Straight away i could feel a huge weight difference when i was riding this bike…
    It was very enjoyable to ride…..Hmmmmm…….. ;)

    …spud…

    Stay off it Spud , your the quickest bloke I know already and even Lee wasn’t able to get past you when you rode the 300 2t ( his words !! )

    Your next bike should be TTR 110 mate !! ( still get up JC though I bet !!! ) :D

    Hey nick,
    Doesn’t the 661 pressure suit have a built in kidney belt ? my Acerbis amour does, plus its back armour is a little more durable than my pressure suit.
    I wouldn’t say that your an unfit guy mate and i think that might have something to do with you not snapping your back completely and ending up in a wheel chair, maybe good core strength can give more protection than we think.

    PTW

    The 661 suit does have a kidney belt of sorts but it only covers a small surface area , after looking at the specific kidney belts they seem much wider and with more adjustment.

    As for core strength , the doctors reckon riding dirt bikes regularly built me up enough to keep me walking and alive :) so riding dirt bikes can save your life ;)

    I used to have one ages ago but found it uncomfortable and i didn’t really find a situation so far it would help, But i don’t run elbow or knee protection either so you may like them.

    Thanks mate , I was wondering if they took pressure off the lumber area when riding ? Plus you don’t crash Nato so no protection needed hey :D

    The whole crew at Cross roads are cluey , Clint who works in the workshop with Lee is an ex motocross racer and awesome mechanic too. I like the fact that everyone their rides dirt bikes , towards end of the test day Claudia geared up and rode a few laps , as did Lee ( he wouldn’t come back :D ) , Michael the sales guy cut a lap , Clint rode after taping himself head to toe ( mx pays you back after a few years :( ) Even Lees young bloke got on his TTR 50 and cut some laps with the big kids !!!

    Great family business !!
