It's day 12 of not smokig and I've not hurt anyone yet. If you don't quit it with the third person routine I may have to reach through the internet and make you the first...


I have two lids. My blue full face I normally use - a cheap as chips Nitro racing unti that has the best ventalation I've come across

I have what was my Black flip lid. The flip mechnism is jammwed on it and it was getting elderly so I got the Nitro to replace it. That said I like having a spare around for emergencies.

In the loft is the lid I was wearing when I put CeeGee down hard. I don't know how bad an impact we took so I'm not going to take a chance with it. Besides I'd have to replace the visor where I scraped across the gravel.

silverado gril is right though. Don't you dare winge that you can't afford "poo poo" if you keep throwing money away. Sometimes you have to make sacrifices for stuff if you really want it.

yep like i said... im not gonna buy a new helmet until i get my 1st trackday.

but tires, trailer, trailer mount and trailer mount labor cost... that's different. i'll spend money on that before a trackday.

but i may just rent a van w/ a ramp. i already ordered new tires.

Van/Truck + tie downs + a cutdown length of scaffoilding + beers for a driving buddy = job done w/ minimum of cost + maximum ammount of style.



Are there no track day schools with prepped bikes available for training on? Tis fairly common over here.

1 fullface helmet... for my head.

It fits well, it cools adequately, and it is less than 2 years old. I'll keep it until it isn't safe to ride, then hang it up in my room since it is my first helmet :)
