Yes Crashe, Bugjuice, Big Dave and the many others who gave me a hard time about my beanie helmet the other week. Got myself a full helmet on the way down.

So bleh!

Should be here soon. My dad and brother want to spend two weeks in San Diego with family before they come down. Just need to figure out when they want to go there. Then from there straight here. So not much longer till no more bugs and rain and other assorted crap hits me in the face.

Trying to get one of the dark smoke visors for it too since I doubt my sunglasses will fit inside this one being smaller than my last one.

very nice.. and good on ya..
don't recall giving you a hard time about it, but wouldn't recommend them for sure..

Neither did I - i wear an open face helmet a lot.
I did point out it's unsuitability on such a cold day, in a group ride and the amount of stones that kicks up and the way it was acting like a parachute and the distances you were.....OK so I gave you a hard time.... I'll make up for it later and write you a quick reference. Just need to find a few other words for 'texan redneck' and I'll ping it.

ahem cough cough..... neither did I give you a hard time.....

But good on ya for getting a better helmet....

Now you will be able to ride your bike and sing all those 'southern confederate' songs now, when you ride... cos up til now you have had to ride with ya mouth shut and not get all the little bugs in ya mouth...

It was the comments about being cold. lol
Getting them in my mouth wasn't a problem. Food on the go.

Was them hitting around my eyes making me blink heaps, hard to keep my eye on the road with all the blinking.
Hmm confederate songs... I feel a verse of Freebird commin on

Lol yea that was a pain. Also the reason I went with a medium this time instead of another large like my last helmet. The Vega moved around alot in headwinds and anytime I went over 110Ks. The nose guard started to poke me in the nose aswell got very annoying so was looking at a new helmet anyway. The heater dammage to my old one just means I can justify having my parents pay for it till I can pay them back.

I'll certainly take that reference aswell lol.

Would have been wearing it all summer long but you guys always crakin jokes ans such and saying how dangerous they are I figured to avoid the hassle and wear my full all the time. Now I can't really stand the beanie unless I have to. Anyway on to them pics.
