    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    I had one of those helmets. Actually, if anybody else wears a balaclava under their helmet they'll have one too...

    yeh, no kidding. when i got my head shaved for hxc's fundraiser, i rode back from napier with a slightly loose lid. i had figured id be cold and had taken a thin beanie with me, thankfully. since ive decided to keep the short hair, ive just taken to wearing a proper winter beanie underneath the lid. fills the space nicely and helps hold headphones in place, lol.

    Did you end up buying a new one mate? I knew someone that had a Shoei and used to wash the padding every 2 months without fail. He said it was just like a new helmet and would puff the padding back up. His helmet was about 5 yo but used a bit more than every weekend.

    Come to think of it, I think I may have to do that. My head doesn't have quite as tighter fit anymore and there's nothing like something tight to put your head into

    Just brought a new Shoei XR1000 about an hour ago.
    The guy said they can get padding for them, but when I said mine was 10 yrs old he thought it would be highly unlikely.
    So, all solved.

    Thanks for the tips.
