Fucking Wind!

[HenryDorsetCase]

I took the bike to work today and on my way home it was very windy. Put my helmet on the ground as I was starting the bike and a gust of wind took the helmet and rolled it round the carpark with me chasing it. Its stuffed now. Well its structurally fine, it just looks like a helmet thats been rolled across a carpark. I am fucking pissed off about it.

:(

at least it wasnt my Freddy Spencer Rep Arai, just my Shoei Raid 2, but still.

Aww poor diddums.. I have my helmet Either in my hand or on my head. That way, This doesnt happen ;)

Lesson Learnt i guess. Dont put your helmet on ground in Blustery (Bastardy?) Conditions!

Shit mate, my lid is one of the cheaper ones but I'd be pissed too.

I'm just pissed off: that has never ever happened before. I have dropped helmets off of handlebars, and seats before, my theory is that placing it on the ground means it cant fall off anything.

but grrrrrr. totally my fault for not thinking.

I often put it next to something when I do that (such as a wall, the front tyre, etc).

$1400 helmet ?

Duct tape'll fix it.

[DJSin]

At least the wind didn't blow your bike over

This wind will calm down once round taupo has been finished - it's only here to torment roadies while they train for it ... so bring on Sunday morning

Sweet as, good excuse to go buy a new RF1100, they're quite smart looking helmets...

[James Deuce]

Had the same thing happen to my Schwantz replica on the Takas on a violently windy day when I stopped to pull someone out of the fence. Except it was rolling all over the road.

I should've left it on. Then when I got home I tripped on the stairs and held the helmet out in front of me, severely creasing one side of the helmet. Just to add insult to injury.

Shoulda got a heavier helmet.

yep when you park the bike the wheels always turned left (most bikes lean left on the stand) I tuck my helmet into the well created by the turned wheel, that way its out of the rain, up against the bike, and no retard is likely to give it a kick walking past

Yeah yeah sure. That's just the helmet you keep for dropping in on the Henchmen. :innocent:

Sounds like an episode of The Young Ones where Viv kicks his own head along the railway track.

Scratched helmets have character. (Inside and out.)
