Make sure it fits you properly and take good care of it once you have it. Will look out mine if you wanted brand suggestions [its something japanese I think]
well yeah i dont want just any old one, gotta look cool as i go flying over the car bonnet and skidding down the road on my arse at 30mph. fuck me that was a bit of a shock this morning. :crazy_dizzy:
feel really bad for the girl driving the car, she looked really upset. :hopeless:
feel a bit wierd. worse crash ive had on a bike so far. dont really feel with it at the moment. fucking mad ive only got a really small graze on my elbow and ankle, think it helped that it was wet and i had waterproofs on as i just seemed to skid on my side for ages rather than just land in a heap.
Think i must be a cat. written my car off before by 180’ing it and rolling into a ditch, then a tree, only injury from that was a small cut on my mates ear. not many lives left tho i dont think :hopeless:
Ohhh dear…poor you.least your ok:group_hughelmets are essential if your driving on the road… i dont wear one cos i am on the pavement with the little one …but she wears a helmet..i should really i know ….. my cousin was killed yrs back on his way home from work a car hit his back wheel and he went over the handlebars hit his head on the pavement never regained conciousness…….so they do save lifes hope its a valuable lesson learnt …
hook line and sinker:laugh_at:……. na seriosly though .. it’s worth spending a bit extra on a good helmet as they can be the diferance between life and death … also if you have a knock in one it’s best to buy a new one even if the one you got doesn’t look damaged as the majority of the good ones are made for one crash use only use as the structure that makes them strong will not be right after a knock ..
when i think back all i can say is how stupid me and some friends were … we used to ride really nice dirt bmx, gorgeous doubles, burns and what have you yet with no protection except shin and knee guards … and that was only because when landing the (anyone who rides will no) the pedals with ting metal studs for grip would rip into your shins … now i look back with some of the crashes i had i was very lucky …
