Legally, they're still optional.

 

CROM!

 

One just has to be a Sikh who is wearing a turban. I suppose the
measurement of 'Fully Sikh' would be quite open. It's like asking
someone "How Catholic are you? Proove it."

"If you are driving or riding on a 2-wheeled motorcycle on a road you
must wear a helmet. Passengers in a sidecar don't have to wear a
helmet and neither does a Sikh who is wearing a turban. Also, no
helmet is needed if someone is pushing the motorcycle on foot."

Whooooooooooosh!

 

Fully Sikh or Fully Mick?...

 

Yeah - that's what I was thinking, but these bloody poms would have no
idea what the 'Fully Sikh' meant. Bloody bewdiful trolling but.

 

Have I missed something?

 

Yes.

Looking at the Urban Dictionary the only Oz entry I can see is:

""
"fully sick"

An attempt by advertising marketers to turn Australian swimming hero
Ian Thorpe's image WOG or Leb

Ian Thorpe: "Tell them the taste is fully-sick!"
Mum: "Thorpey says it's fully sick!"
Narrator: "Thorpey says the taste is fully sick!"
""

But I found some news story about cross-country skiier and igloo
builder that features it:

"I knew that even if I lived to 100 I'd never be a local, but I hadn't
counted on becoming the town pariah in my old age. Not that I care. I
can thank Kenneth's sister's son, Derek for the name. "These scones
are fully sick Aunt Jean," he said to me while tucking in to some
afternoon tea after football training. Well, I saw red. I had him by
the ear, before he could stutter out an explanation.
"It…it...it...just means they're totally awesome." The things they
come up with. You have to laugh."

So... "fully sick" means very good? Where does this come from? What's
the Etymology?

 

This is a motorcycle discussion group. Perhaps you might try asking in
aus.etymology. There's a good chap.

If I wanted a reply from etymologists then I'd have gone there,
however, seeing as the conversation started here there's no reason for
it to stop, is there? There's a good dear. Would you like a cup of
tea?

Problem was they dumped the tea overboard a bit too vigorously, and the
giant tea-bag label flipped into the sea, and Boston Harbor tasted
just a bit cardboardy, and then they only had UHT milk, and ...
