When my roommate was in W. Germany, she said that motorcycle riders were
required to wear not only helmets, but protective gear "that made them look
like football players".  I'd like to know if that is required by law,
or just added safety gear that's available there.  She was in Germany 
just this past summer.  Perhaps others on the net would be interested in 
knowing, also.
