The dealer is talking carp, find a good local independant that knows Shoguns. there is a good shogun forum that answers loots of similar questions,such as cleaning EGR ROG, is that the same ROG as in flyer ;)

We've done this before here and here There are some fairly strong feelings on here about them, have a read, think about the physics and the marketing. The fall on this video at 2min 21 sec was cited as the air jacket being put to good use... if you watch it frame by frame (not easy on...

"But it WILL prevent a hangman's fracture and that is much more common when riding than landing directly onto the top of your head." Sorry to double post but this has got me worried... it will NOT stop a hangman fracture. In a racing car the drivers body is strapped to the seat with a 5 or...

Cptrayes, as Neil has pointed out you cannot compare motorsport protection with equine, if you think an air jacket will stop you breaking your neck in a fall you are mistaken. If you want to go into details we can.. We have discussed the air jacket/BP a great deal here, The air jacket is not...

you need to open an account (free) with a site like Imageshack http://imageshack.us/ this allows you to upload pictures and then when you want to post them you copy and paste the code to the reply box, remember to preview to make sure it is correct. for a forum dont use pictures bigger...

As has been pointed out its weight thats important, this means the towing vehicle not only has the power to pull the trailer but also the suspension to keep the whole rig level and brakes that will stop it.. ( we did this discussion last year some time) I would second the Trooper. I've been...

This came to me via other interests, its a consultation paper on changing the 14/28 day planning rule (amongst other things) that could effect the rules on whether events are allowed on land without change of use. For those that organise events/shows/ car boot sales etc on their land it could...

I know Marshalls and some of the people there... The whole rider protection issue is complex and with new materials being developed all the time its good to see the BHS trying to promote safety. It would be nice if maybe all the governing bodies (racing,eventing etc) got together and offered...

Ok found the mythbuster bit (or part of it.) Dont forget a stunt or car airbag deflates or lets air out immediately on impact so disappating the energy that way.

Think of an air jacket as a football being kicked , it absorbs a bit of the energy but just transfers most of into movement. A body protector absorbs the energy transfering it through out its structure. Obviously in both cases the wearers body will also absorb some of the energy, the trick is to...

You get what you pay for, the Kanteq maybe more expensive but much better engineered. How much do you value your back and internal organs? ;)

"and for my next trick" ;) A great picture, you are very talented.

jros; "This was all very interesting to read, as I've wondered to myself how well they would work in certain scenerios" This is one of the biggest problems with any accident (equine or otherwise) they are all different and what might be just a bump one day could be very nasty another. For...

NeversayNever "Id do some research before pairing the point 2 with a kanteq as well." Tucked away on the P2 site "The Point Two air jacket offers additional protection, but we recommend it to be worn with traditional protective riding wear such as the EM13158 body protector." It works fine...

Calerux Shearer "there would be hell" Harsh.. but true ;) L is very good and sorts all the stuff out,I do the driving.... simples
