Holy farg....! Yesterday I tried out a full-face/modular. Claustrophobia set in INSTANTLY upon dawning said helmet!! Logic SCREAMED full-face... psychological reactions dictated otherwise! In a span of maybe 20 seconds it was all I could do to get the helmet off fast enough! I felt I couldn't hear... or see... or be a part of my surroundings! Hey, I know full-face/modular are a VERY sensible choice in helmets... but it seems I suffer from claustrophobia and full-facers put me in a state of panic.

Calling Alan Griffin (Alscot) our resident shrink... ya gotta help me out here!!




Hey, better late than never, eh Keith?
My advice to you is not fall off.
There will be no charge for that.
I personally adopt the position that I am immortal. So far I have been proved absolutely correct.
Using this position, I have recently bought a new hat (open face natch-only the aesthetically challenged would deprive the world of the opportunity to admire their face they ride by upon the worlds finest motorcycle ).
I therefore went for comfort and bought a hat which sits low on the head and which does not strangle me at speed.
when I got it home I looked inside and saw lots of big labels pointing out variously that it was 'novelty' helmet, that it should not be used whilst operating machinery of any sort etc....
then I saw the name - it's called a 'Biltwell'
Someone's got a sense of humour in that factory.

Al
ps It's very comfortable

I took the Road Less Travelled. Now where the ****** am I?
