It looks like the French government is busy making glove wearing for motorcyclists mandatory. This is the beginning of a step by step plan to implement ATGATT:
Step 1 - Jackets/Vests for all PTWPowered Two Wheel - motorcyles, scooters, mopeds under 125cc (so essentially mopeds)
Step 2 - Dorsal and Lombard protection for PTW over 50cc (so back-body armor)
Step 3 - Jackets/Vests equipped with airbag for all PTW over 125cc
Step 4 - Boots or semi-boots protecting foot and ankle for all PTW over 125cc
I'm a firm believer of ATGATT (all the gear all the time), but it would be nice to see some kind of incentive, lets say tax free motorbike clothing (for locals):thumbup:
