Hey ho, I'm not re-igniting the helmet/ no helmet debate.. helmets looks shit, and can cause problems as well as protect you. They aren't cool you losers! (including me) But where else should I post this? Entering my estate on the way back from Prince Regents tonght, headed for the banking around the path which is always fun, but due to the drizzle creating an oily wetness, the front wheel slipped out, and I stacked it hard. My head smacked the floor at some velocity, but due to my helmet my head kinda bounced lightly. The shock was absorbed and I was able to jump up (slowly get up goraning saying "ah shit") and spin off. My hips is hella brusied, and I've a bit of a head ache but i know i would have got hurt bad if I'd just nutted the pavement. So, if you are up for a helmet, I can recommend the Catlike.
@El Squire - I seem to spend more time on the deck than in the saddle at the moment, no? ;)
