But the professionals wear them because the technology buffs obviously believe in them and the commercial industry always mimics the professionals. I admit your unlikely to find a hump on a 2 piece but your also struggling to find a full suit worth buying that comes without some sort of hump.

Although I only have one cos it means I is cool, same reason I smoke, and only cross the road where there is no crossing point. AYE!

So you didn't buy into the hype when you bought your leathers?

riders the wear speed humps in public look like prats. on race track is fair enough and looks cool and at speeds they are at it helps.

people with speed humps on public roads are basically saying "I speed and i am a TWWAT" and if they store there drink in there. "I am a TWWAT with a drink on my back"

The other way of looking at it is that they are riding a bike capable of reaching those speeds and can afford to wear the best kit to go with it.
If we all thought the same way, we would all be wearing textiles and riding the same blue bikes, keeping standard cans as there's no point in race cans etc etc.
