Okay. Enjoy then, because I don't know how to explain it to you. Except - the two of you seem to be in general agreement of how the accident could potentially have been avoided.

Nah, I think we're bitching about Katman now. And waiting for pics of the progress as you get back on the road

And if you cast your mind back to my original post that started the whole bitch fight you'll see that my words were that the accident was "totally avoidable" - the words 'blame' or 'fault' don't feature in the post at all.

Oh Awwwwww, that hurt, you OK FM?
Tarty, that was not nice LOL!@#$% Butt quite appropriate udder the circumference of the situation.
Pleased to see such a well balanced debate and that no one has yet blown up.
Lessons learned and if Phreak can learn em and stay alive doing so, more power to him.
Keep that Bass(as opposed to a tom tom) drum beating there Katman.
Phreak got it first time, no worries there.

No, he doesn't thanks all the same...he's leaving...

Well done Phreak...you'll be riding for many years to come with that attitude!

Hello Ratti Darling, nice to see you about the thread mate.
Ya missed a brilliant Taupo weekend.

**Phreak** · 18th November 2010, 21:27

Okay, on a more serious note, I have a question for everyone out there in cyber land...

I'm wondering whether or not to keep my helmet... Reason is, I've heard that once a helmet has seen the pavement (with the owner's head still in it, of course) you shouldn't use it again, regardless.

Only, my nice shiny new lid (only three weeks old now!) saw the pavement, but only has the tiniest of a scratch in it, literally only about 3mm diameter... And its an $800 Shark RSi that I got for a steal!

So, should I biff it, or be happy to keep on using it? Whatta ya think...?

(Seriously, though, okay?)

Replace it. It might be alright but you can't trust it. Helmets are designed to protect you through their own descrution. This can be in ways that you can't see.

**Katman** · 18th November 2010, 21:38

I would keep the helmet and learn to avoid accidents.

I'd bin it dude unfortunately. Mine had surprisingly little scratch damage when I slid down the track at taupo last year, but I know it did hit hard and slide as I heard it. The damage will be on the inside (compression of the liner etc).
