    Flashback to Ernie Cudby at Vic round 1. Chappy didn't 'launch' tho...
    Good helmet needed indeed.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Guy Martin was probably pleased he had a good helmet last weekend too?

    I don't know if you watched this Pritch, but the racing was unbelievable! (I have most of it recorded if you want to watch it sometime... )

    There was (is) a helmet on display in Cycletreads (North Shore) demonstrating helmet damage, complete with tyre tread across it, ouch! Rider walked away unscathed apparently.

    When buying a Helmet ask yourself how much you value your life then l can guarantee you that you wont buy a cheap and nasty helmet with your answer.

    feaky - you only have to image in a few inches one way and it is decapitation!!
    "...New Zealanders, for all their faults, have virtues that are precious: an unwillingness to be intimidated by the new, the formidable, or class systems; trust in situations where there would otherwise be none; compassion for the underdog; a sense of responsibility for people in difficulty; not undertaking to do something without seeing it through - "
