Popular Post Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted January 7, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) That's a cool helmet! Reminds me of The Stig from "Top Gear." Or maybe the black Stig.

Smoother Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) You've gone from mild married middle aged engineer to robo wheel. Ooohh vewwy scareweee! Stay away from small children if you don't want to make them cry. That's the same helmet as the other dude posted a few days ago. I notice you've got your trade mark mirror. How did you install it?

How did you install it? I passed a few very small children and they seemed more intrigued with my helmet than the wheel I've seen this helmet before (I've been looking at lots of helmets) and when he (who was it?) posted that picture I decided to pull the trigger. The mirror is installed with Velcro for the time being until I feel like I have the ideal spot. If the Velcro isn't working I'll go with an adhesive.

Or maybe the black Stig. The Stig on Top Gear was great but I really like the new Grand Tour’s driver better. At least you can see part of her beautiful face. At first glance I thought it was Danica Patrick. This girl’s name is Abby Easton. Heck of a driver. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I saw something in another thread about it being rubber. Not had chance to view the video yet as my parents are over from the UK. Something is better than nothing and while you might still lose all your front teeth at least you'll still have your lips left behind to hide the gaps! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one time ( of several face plants) my face actually contacted the road, it was a glancing blow to the chin, enough to draw blood through a thin beard. ANYTHING, even a piece of corrugated cardboard would have prevented the injury. So I say you'll be fine in a typical EUC face plant situation. Anything is indeed better than nothing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fat Unicyclist Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Fish & chips for Sunday night (fresh caught Snapper, filleted and Panko crumbed - so good)! So I thought I'd ride down, from home (off the top of the screen - sorry Bob) to the red dot... But it seems I over-shot a little - turning my 4 km trip into 10. Fortunately l ran out of land and remembered what I was supposed to be doing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
