Default leatt brace

why is this device so popular in dirt bikes, but seemingly unpopular on the road?

Seems like protecting your neck would be a high priority piece of protective gear.

Why do "Billy Badass" Cruiser-riders, and Bulletproof Gixxer-Squids ride without helmets?

Looks like it would be rather cumbersome on a street bike. Head checks might be difficult.

And, it'd be a pain to keep up with when you aren't on the bike.

Another random post from Sara to revive an old thread, speaking of which, why do cage commuters not wear the HANS device in their cars? It could've saved Dale Earnhardt from his tragic death had he worn one.
