My second girl friend didnt complain at mine JT !!

I reckon that would fit me ! I may give it a go ... well spotted Steve ... fook .. gloves only have 5 fingers ... ah well my mum can sew another one on for me !!!

Collect Barnard Castle ..mmmm have to go to Sellafield some time soon so that would fit in if I won it !

THats the problem with helmets, drop em and even though it may look unmarked the absorption material maybe deformed enough to offer less than required protection. Would you really want to risk it for the sake of a few quid?

Lifes a compromise John

Not for racing and no cage, no extinguisher, no cut off, no skill

I stumped up the readies and bought new for exactly that reason, drove 3 hours round trip to make sure it was right at Merlin Motorsport too!

My mate dropped a brand new open face sparco helmet taking it out the back of his car! he threw that one in the bin and bought new again, luckily it was only about £80 wasted!

someone on a production line could drop it during manufacture , you would never know..... and still pay £600

I was only pointing it out for us like minded trackday fairies

looks like someone is happy to pay a bit
