Guest Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 Well I'll be braving the elements this weekend! Quote
Slowlycatchymonkey Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 An organised off road day on the Himalayan with a company that’s well reviewed but I’ve never used before. Someone posted on the Himalayan Facebook page about their “wonderful day out with them” a week or so ago. You get further into the post n pics and see his bike plastered with blood. Turns out he had a off, mashed his face and had to stop at lunch time. Mind you the bikes white so it probably looked worse than it was The mud n water looked deep then and it’s been peeing down since so it’ll be interesting to see what the conditions are Quote

Was he wearing an open face? Yep. Sometimes recommended for learners cos of the better field of vision I can't really talk...Three open face to the one full face - I do acknowledge the risk but if I'm not out on fast dual carriageways I tend to prefer going open face as it just gives me more of a sense of... I don't know. Freedom, maybe. Quote
S-Westerly Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 The one big off I had I smacked my face on a rock and actually cracked the chinbar on my helmet. No damage to me but if I'd been wearing an open face? Different outcome I suspect. Quote
Slowlycatchymonkey Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 [mention]learningtofly[/mention] mmm a biker tidy, any good?I have an open face and get what you mean about the freedom thing, rode around some fields with no helmet and its great, I can see why people protested against the introduction of helmet laws. Came to the conclusion Fred Hill was right people should have the choice to splat their brains out if they want to. But on the road I’m with [mention]S-Westerly[/mention] and I don’t even wear my open face helmet cos a broken jaw or facial injuries don’t appeal much, my mug doesn’t need to be any uglier! Quote
learningtofly Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 It's a couple of these. They're brilliant, and I put them up in a corner of my office (where bea has no jurisdiction, even though she hates them )I do get it regarding the risk of open face helmets... when I'm just bimbling it's a risk I'm prepared to take but - more and more lately - `I'm picking up the full face for any rides that are likely to involve even moderate speed.

Mawsley Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 As an extreme fair weather biker now, I’ll be staying in the dry and warm. I will be paying off the hotels though, a bunch of us child scooter riders are going round the NC500 in June. Quote

Mississippi Bullfrog Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 Since the weather is pants I decided to spend the afternoon in the garage making bird boxes. My wife was bored so she decided to join me. She's used the circular saw, various drills and borers and is now hooked on playing with power tools. Then we had a power cut, the joys of living in the countryside. Quote

My missus has always loved Power Tools.....she's got loads!Which is nice because I'm not temperamentally suited to tools of any type! Quote
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 Aforementioned power cut....one of our local farmers ran a tractor into a power line pole. This is not an uncommon occurrence round here. Quote

Oh dear! not good, once you let them loose on tools and they discover the joys they start buying their own, and you know that they are their tools Quote

Then we had a power cut, the joys of living in the countryside. Even more reason to have a generator. I keep thinking of buying one. Our power goes off quite regularly. We have no gas fire so without electricity we're doomed.Just remembered, even the sewage is pumped by electric. Quote

James in Brum Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 [mention]XTreme[/mention] yes but surely TOTY moves shouldn’t actually be Twattish Quote
Slowlycatchymonkey Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 Aah I was wondering if it was twat or tit! Quote
