    Can someone in welly check my helmet?

    My helmet has some scratches through the topcoat of the paint because some idiot backed into my bike while it was parked up at vic uni, and I need someone knowledgable to check if its still alright to use on the track day. I dont think its impact damage, just scrapage...

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Cool

    if someone backed into your bike.... where was your helmet?

    Was it hanging off your bike?
    where on your bike was it hanging from?
    Did it drop to the ground?

    as this may help in answering your question.

    Also is your bike ok any damage done?
    Did ya get the pratt that backed into your bike?

    It was on the helmet lock, so hanging off the side. No damage to bike so i dont think it fell over. Didnt get the pratt, some guy told me about it but couldnt get licence plate... said it was an old guy on a huge red bike... and i know theres an old guy on a red goldwing there.....

    I wouldn't use it any more liftback, but I'm super paranoid about the contents of my cranium. Obvious damage like that often doesn't get very far in scrutineering for track days or racing either.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    1. Damaged helmets are potentially unsafe, even if they look OK.
    2. Throw old helmet away.
    3. Buy new helmet.
    4. Take more care with new helmet.

    Yeah I highly doubt its gonna be usable for the track day... and i dont have enough overdraft left to buy a new one so i'm prolly gonna have to pull out... and get a new helmet a soon as possible (and park where idiots cant back into it).

    Sorry I forgot the question.

    Hang on - Yes, but only if you pay for the Berty Bott's every flavour beans.

    If there's no room left in that park, go under that walkway just over the carpark. That's where I go if it's raining or real windy. I was chatting to a guy who thought I might be you - the guy who had got the number plate.

    Let us know if you need a hand for the hitting bit.

    What size head do you have?

    Could maybe lend you one.

    Also. If the helmet is rooted, will your insurance cover it? I doubt a few grazes in the gel coat would ruin it if it was not dropped....

    Cheers
