    Default Want to turn into a Sailor??

    Just drop your helmet and watch the choice words fly!!

    Stopped at the gas station to put some air in my tires. Set my helmet on top of the air pump, there is lots of room up there. Guess it vibrated right off as i was airing and didn't see it. %$#..*%$....

    My wife put her helmet on the seat behind me and I didn't know it. I kicked it off the seat as I got off the bike. Good lesson. She won't do that again especially after replacing her hemet with a Shoei. She can't bear to see me spend that kind of money for a while.

    You get that sick feeling knowing you've just wasted a perfectly good helmet for no good reason. I've been there.

    sad to hear this...however, according to Obama/the Liberal Party, it really isnt your fault that happened...i would get a lawyer and sue the station for negligence as they didnt warn you that could possibly happen.

    i mean, if the lady that sued mcdonalds for spilling hot coffe won, so should you

    I agree. If it is a top quality helmet there is no way a drop like that should ever compromise the safety of it.

    Me too, my wife use to sit hers on the back seat and when I would swing my leg over to get off the bike I would kick hers flying.
    ]I would rather be homeless than chromeless. She's got a few shinny do-dads on her.
