Watch this space. Have sthg to say on subject but BEDTIME. 2morrow. When not riding, thinkin' bikes - aren't we all?

[rcgbob44]

er! no.

[Redruth]

It's about helmets. OK? 2morrow. Not now. Too sleepy to do subject justice. Trust me. Will be rarin' to go 2morrow.

I bet you want to know where you can buy a pair of furry ears or one of those mohican thingys for your crash helmet now.

[uncle porry]

nah pj, she called the topic "bling", i reckon she has seen somewhere that you can get a gold chain for your bike, so she`s thinking "hmm, one of those would look nice instead of that ghastly chinstrap"

[Redruth]

I already feel like it'll be an anticlimax ...

May have made catastrophic mistake. Don't know any bikers (well, clearly, will soon) and it may be COMPLETELY Naff but I just bought a KBC vr-1 Smok.Chrome helmet. Why? looks. purely looks. It doesn't fit very well, I've always valued my life enough to pay Arai prices, but it is such a fantastic finish. It's shiny in the sun, it's dark in the dark. It is BLING. Apparently, this shop, London Colney, has sold "several" - to Londoners who come out specially to buy them. Er, black guys - who, we all know, REALLY know about Bling. So, if you fancy impressing your pillion girlie, give her one (sorry!), buy her one. Trust me! She will love it!

It may look good but if you value your life as you say and it doesnt fit very well then change it for one that does, especially as you're happy to pay Arai prices just cos it looks fantastic!

[Redruth]

Ok. Ten minutes elapsed. Either (a) have blown any semblance of credibility by buying a lid that NO ONE has ever heard of or (b) you have objected to what you consider to be racist remarks. You are so wrong. I have a a brown niece and nephew. It's the niece's birthday on Sunday. I am to be godmother to my nephew. Hello? Anyone out there. Ok, I will admit, I do have some colour prejudice. YELLOW Ducati? Why?

[Redruth]

No, psychlist. Does fit, just not as well as an Arai. And was almost half the price! Anyway, I never fall off, so don't need to worry about my safety.
