		<title>Corazzo Ventata Scooter and Motorcycle Jacket Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Corazzo realized that their Corazzo 5.0 was fast becoming the iconic scooter riders jacket - smartly, they did not venture too far from its design when they created the Corazzo Ventata. We love the Corazzo 5.0 jacket. If you can afford only one jacket and you ride in a variety of conditions, that is the jacket to get. The Corazzo Ventata is a superb warm weather jacket and can be supplemented with a sweater or hoody underneath for mor warmth when required or a rain coat over top is you get caught out in the rain.

Available in black or silver.

Highly recommended.]]></description>

		<title>Motorcycle and Scooter Helmet Safety</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Interesting diagram shows the impact areas on crash-involved motorcycle helmets.

(Source: Dietmar Otte, Medizinische Hochschule Hannover, Abteilung Verkehrsunfallforschung, Germany.)

Note that 35% of all crashes showed major impact on the chin-bar area. This means that if you ride with an open-face helmet, you are accepting only 65% of the protection that could be available to your head.
If people ride with a shorty or half helmet, they are accepting only 39% of the protection they could obtain. They are literally throwing away 61% of the protection they would have had had they chosen a full-face helmet.]]></description>

		<title>BC – We’re Just a Bunch of Gas Guzzling Idiots</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A recent study by the Seattle-based Sightline Institute  shows that in 2009 British Columbia binged on fuel consumption. Per capita gas consumption rose by 10% - the highest year-over-year consumption increase in the last 30 years.

Rationalize this in any way you want, it just shows that British Columbians, by and large, just don't seem to give a damn about the environment and conservation. The economy goes into a bit of a dive, gas prices get cheap, and we just give up on more fuel efficient means of transportation.]]></description>
