is this sarcasm?

**motorbyclist** · 12th March 2009, 22:35

nope, it's the honest truth

can't remember what his riding was like, what he was like, or even specifics of the ride beyond is passing through kaiauia, but i do remember that one sight of him riding without a helmet

sure it was all in sight and only a hundred metres or so of straight road, but is nailing the gas and brakes really the wisest move? murphy's law can really be a bastard at times like that...

We always remember the silly things aye.

**macros87** · 12th March 2009, 22:59

yeah well there's no fun in pointing out the good/smart things really..

I wasnt being rude, I passed on my sympathies but he has ten fingers and ten toes and is alive. As for expressing my opinion, you dont want it then dont put up a thread. Take a chill pill steve.

I think in this case Steve was right, your previous post to this one did make you look like a bit of a jerk, which is contrary to what I've been told about you.

Is it? We need to chat more

So who failed to give way then?

The knee tendons will be all right. Mine've been cut and the kneecap fractured but I'm fine for the most part (as long as I don't buy a Ducati with a left-side kickstart). Broken pelvis will take a long time to heal though. Poor bastard.

Can anybody tell me where to buy an open-face helmet?

I didnt think so, I find it funny how everyone expects the typical cuddly messages of "dear hurt brother motorcyclist heal quickly and may angels look over you on your motorcycle bed as fairies bring you lovely treat that you can suck through that straw" blah de blah. I said I hoped he was alright but cars and motorcyclists dont magically collide head on in the middle of a busy intersection randomly. I am not saying the motorcyclist is at fault as this is speculation is not warranted. I have my theory though.

For the record that motorcyclist you remember andrew that I was talking about crashed a week later on scenic drive overcooking a corner. He wasnt wearing any gear bar a helmet *as in jeans and t shirt etc*.

hahah ha h hyahaha haha aha ah you crack me up *wipes tear from eye*.

you can get an open face helmet from any motorcycle store.

**xwhatsit** · 13th March 2009, 13:05

Yeah but they're all a bit expensive.

Do you reckon it'd be hard to make one from fibreglass? It's just the padding on the inside that'd be tricky, but the ex has got a sewing machine and you could get some foam from Spotlight.

**Slyer** · 13th March 2009, 13:34

Maybe you should start from an old bike helmet and go from there?

Well wasn't that pretty much the reason you posted up your own umpteen I-crashed-and-want-sympathy-please threads?
