The spunky chick hitching with a helmet?

[Banditbandit]

Once upon a time you didn't need a spunky chick to be carrying a helmet to give her a ride.And you didn't need to carry a helmet to hitch a ride on a bike either.

Of course everyone who has ever ridden a bike without a helmet died a horrible death,or had their face ripped off and were disfigured for life.

I'm still here ... and my face is fine ... (well, my wife tells me it is ... )

I hitched in full leathers carrying a helmet once.

Had been travelling to Christchurch from Wellington with my partner and she was on a small 250. About 10k's out of Kaikoura we hit strong winds that blew her around a bit, she ended up going on to the grass verge and dumping the bike .....Then it started to piss down!
So I pillioned her into Kaikoura ensconced her in a cool friendly cafe with lots of good coffee and hitched back to the 250.

By this time the rain had stopped sun came out and a nice gentleman on a bike stopped to see why I was hitching in leathers and gave me a ride to the 250.
I had imagined I would need to walk the whole way and was very grateful!!

Haha nice end to it, pissing down always adds that extra touch of pain
