    Free helmet and gloves to a deserving rider

    I have been left with a second hand HJC Helmet (medium), with both metallic tinted visor and clear visor, and a pair of Orina gloves (med)......to pass on to someone of need.
    I can't be arsed sending these (with a 1 year old I barely get time to sleep). So pick up either after work (@ Mt Roskill) or during work hours (East Tamaki) are really the only options.

    Who wants them before I drop them off to the salvation army?Click image for larger version.

    there was a young lady with her first bike in Auckland
    asking about riding gear yesterday.
    she might be deserving of the gloves
    got a gn125 i think
    To be old and wise, first you must be young and stupid.

    So 2 options are:
    a) Compromise - one of you gets the helmet, the other gets the gloves
    b) Fight to the death! First person to post a picture (in this thread) of themselves next to their bike with a sad face gets the loot!

    Haha I do like the sounds of the fight to the death, but it's raining and well... yeh.

    I concede defeat, on the grounds that I already have a decent helmet, and I live about a block away from Cycletreads (ALLLLL the way in Takapuna) so prob easier to just pop in to there to get some gloves.

    I'm sure "The End" shall treat them well and they shall live a long happy life, filled with joyfull days riding and sunshine and rainbows

    Both left and right, no gloves will cost you a balaclava and feet are free.

    Pic of bike/sad face or fight to the death s a good idea though

    Ok well you both are pussies. Therefore it is decided.

    The End - You get the Helmet.

    I dunno. I leave the risk taking for when I am on the bike.
    You never know who might want to get their 5 finger discount.
    Rather take my risks with the blind corolla owners.
