Title: Why should you wear a full-face helmet?
Post by: Debs on September 05, 2012, 02:25:07 AM
This was on the Facebook Concours page and thought I would share.

Another reason why we need to make sure we wear the best gear..

 :agree:Says it all really. Only buy a five quid helmet if you've got a five quid head

Very true words Deb. There is a drug dealer/runner who lives just over a mile from where I live. He uses an off road m/cycle to avoid being chased and caught by the old bill. I've seen him many a time zipping in and out of traffic at stupid speeds and he wears a woollen balaclava for head protection. About 3 weeks ago he came off and he now has some serious road rash all down his face.

He looks a right handsome devil now.  :popcorn:

Down the page, Jeff wrote If I was not riding a boxer BMW with a cylinder sticking out on the left side, my leg would have been mashed

If he had been riding a faster bike, he would have been way past the trailer before it shed it's wheel!

I have no sympathy for anyone who rides with the attitude 'It will never happen to me'  :gun_bandana:
