The thing i like about the sharp test is that its not just a high price is better listing, good to see government controled tests across the board instead of manu test results for their own products, now if they would only say that crashelmets were safety items then the price would come down as we wouldnt have to pay 17% vat on them.

Good point, its a requirement to wear them for our own safety but they are taxed as luxury goods.

the argument for that will be that bikes are luxury goods

you'll find it is a necessary piece of equipment for a luxury item, vat man isnae interested in anything else, even the Arco gatalogue with all the works safety gear in it is charged vat.

You're right, mine is noisy too. Any more that a few miles it's ear plug time for me.
