Pan's on a roll tonight. ROTFL. How u healing Revhead?
I'll second that too. My collision was apparently around 40kph I was told. I had concussion and only now over 2 months later is my head balance neck etc starting to come good.

Stupidity bigtime, a helmet is an invention which can b individualised by designs & colour. My biggest accident was a granny in my own street t boning me, sending me head first into the road as I flew over her uninsured Honda Civic . Went to work a half hour later. Try doing that without a helmet. A squid is bad enough on the roads . I cringe when I see them in their singlets shorts and thongs on bike. No helmet, no brains.

I stepped off a bicycle at 20 Km/hr and can say lycra on bitumen gives great burn marks on the hip and a bike helmet if broken on your head produces a ripper of a head ache.

My helmet unquestionably saved my life.

I think more than your helmet

There were so many thing's in my favor that day Rod.
But what I put out member's through that day I never want to repeat to them. Ever. That's why I didn't do Tathra last year, for fear the member's will never trust my riding again.

That's the worst feeling for me... And what I must have put them through...especially mrs Ward...

Hey Beau, come to Adelaide this year, we`ll keep out your way , and the chopper is closer if you do a repeat performance.

Heya Beau......EVERYone, every single person that has ever strapped a helmet on and gone for a ride.....has had at very least, one bad day on two wheels, at some stage!!! If anything, it was only the timing that sucked with your "off" that day....but hey, these things happen!

I wouldn't have ANY probs riding with you in the future...no worries there mate (....SO BOOK UR ARSE IN FOR THE 2013 NORMANVILLE BB ASAP) !!!

The way this was explained in one of the motorbike mags was you are exempt from wearing a helmet that is ADR compliant not from helmets all together. From what they said it means you can source a helmet from anywhere (ie America, Japan, China etc) and legally wear it in NSW.
