Tear off ban in Australia... thoughts

No go pro's allowed either..
overall motorcycling Australia is a joke. I was planning on making a return to do some club mx days but now I won't even bother.

I have had my race licence for 10 years and when its due in April I am seriously considering not renewing it. Most likely keep it for another year.

MA are making it even more expensive and difficult to race/ride.

I think it's a good thing in the long run. Think of them as just a plastic product, you wouldn't go out in the nature and throw around plastic.

I'd like to see more biodegradable tear offs out there. I think Dragon goggles sells them for their goggles but i don't know if anyone else does it.

The roll off systems are getting better and better(Oakley Airbrake, 100% forecast).

Doesn't bother me at all. Raced last weekend, it was pretty muddy, already had roll offs on my goggles.

As for go pros, helmets weren't designed to have anything stuck/mounted to them so I can see where MA are coming from. A smart helmet company would work with go pro and make a helmet with the camera integrated and a port to charge and retrieve data

The cost increases they have made for licences and race fees are getting up there, maybe insurance is going up, i don't know. But, as with the AMA, they are the governing body and we gotta live with the rules they set down or another group had got to step up
