What kind of idiot does this?

[Spazman727]

I saw scooter rider today who had obviously recently got a new helmet. I know it was new because THEY STILL HAD THE PROTECTIVE FILM ON THE VISOR. At least I hope they hadn't been riding with it for very long. You know the film thing that has all the writing on it telling about how good the particular helmet and visor are? It doesn't matter how good your helmet is if you cant see through the bloody visor. Who would be stupid enough to leave that on?

It does prevent scratches.

[Lurch]

Poor mans tear-offs

[Spazman727]

Heh, fair enough.

But surely being able too see would prevent scratches more?

[bogan]

Heh, fair enough.

nah its an image thing, how are others supposed to know what a fancy-pants helmet the rider has if they take the thingumy off?

I guess it's the same mentality that makes people keep the plastic cover on their cell-phone screens.

I watch a guy peering with great difficulty at his phone, turning it to get the best light for reading. The plastic film was in a terrible state.

The conversation went like this:

"Why don't you remove that plastic fim?"

"I don't want the screen to get scratched."

"Why not?"

"Cos it will make the phone hard to read..." :blink:

dam... your saw me..:innocent:

Beats the ol' glad wrap though.. haha

[YellowDog]

Perhaps he doesn't need to see and just feels the force!

Of course you are just assuming its the film the helmet factory fitted.... maybe its some gladwrap the rider fitted that morning. Perhaps its like a manual heads up display thing? Clutch of the left, throttle on the right, dont forget to indicate, put your foot down when you stop.. or maybe even the directions home or the shopping... There are lots of inventive folks out there...

Right up there with the "do not operate this vehicle after consuming alcohol or other drugs" stickers on the petrol tank. (And crikey it was hard to remove! took Balu almost 40 minutes to get rid of it without damaging my tank!!)

Yeah, "your first one comes free with the helmet, included in the price" lol

The wrapping is one thing but what was the sales assistant doing when this women was trying on a helmet.

That would deserve a few beers after completing a job like that!... or perhaps a few while doing it!:shifty:

[slofox]

Ahhhhh...coughcough

When I first bought a helmet that came with a pinlock, I didn't actually realise that the pinlock insert even HAD a plastic sticky on it...I put it into the helmet, had a quick look and thought "Fuckin' 'ell am I supposed to see through THAT???" And stuck it away for a couple of months. Once the weather went manky I had another look and noticed what was what that time..."Oh. Ah. hehehe. Guess you gotta take THAT bit off..?" Worked much better after that...

Sounds like a lot of effort just so that you could operate your vehicle after consuming alcohol or other drugs - you could have just ridden straight & sober instead!

You would think that someone that retarded would have had more experience wearing a helmet!
