If I have any room,might have to pack a spare bike,The sugerloaf ride might be a goer to test out the Gasser never ridden there. Gili is moving in to his new abode on Saturday Just down the road so I will see if he is up for it. I still have to get ricks bike sorted as well, probably the 360 for him again.

Lucky there not in Catholic schools Ollie, Just got ours and I don’t even want to think about it. I thought fees at a public school were voluntary?

Another discussion point thread for you that will eventually end up about something completely unrelated……….again.:angry:

Surely the peaks on dirtbike helmets are not to keep the sun out of our eyes? Are we meant to believe that they are for added protection in the event of a faceplant, in that they fold down over the helmet opening to cover the goggles and eyes. To my way of thinking, there is always a good chance that the peak could hit the ground and snap the helmet backwards, breaking the cervical spine (fancy medical term for neck).

I have always had ideas about redesigning goggles that fit to the helmet internally without the need for the piece of elastic from grandma’s undies to hold them in place. This would then maybe allow you to wear ya roadbike helmet or a similar modified design, with a full face visor for protection. I won’t air my thoughts on my designs yet until this thread degrades into a slinging match about something trivial and needs bringing back on topic.

Now it’s over to the members for discussion.

Well Slug, I notice that this thread has degenerated into a strange mess that resembles nothing like the first post! And out of curiousity I tracked it back to where the off-topic chatter started:

I personally prefer my twin peaks to any other type.
Plenty of room for stickers too if that’s your thing
