;D ;D ;D ;D

Hoping to try smaller Shoei tonight, I'd be the Small not Medium  :o

How small is your head man?



;D

I think I have an XXL helmet and even that's touch & go.. ;D
If you painted flames on your head, maybe you could get away without a lid :P.  FFS, don't fall off though, unless you want your "helmet" painted red...

Yeah that would have been a good test, are you going to get another as your No claims will probably expire for the bike soon?
I think I retain my NCD for 2yrs.  No plans to get another this year.  As I said to you a couple of years ago, if I went without a bike for more than a short time, I'd probably never get another.  It will be a year in 10 days time...

For just a tiny outlay you could have this little beauty and be back on two wheels: http://www.motorcyclenews.com/mcn/bikes-for-sale/searchresults/detail/nsu/quickly/1965/_/R-NXGN-7619746

Perfect for the elder gentleman...

That would be ideal given you can get stabilizers for it  :-[

For me to get another bike, I think I'd need to rent garage space, as my bike was in the way.

Now who do I know in Brakkers with space garage space ::)

Where there's a will there's a way!!

Even though I like my Omega a lot it just don't compare to the bikes for me.

Nothing beats a "gentle" ( ;)) ride out in the sunshine to bring a smile to your face.

Its especially nice on one of my "old wobblers" when there is a group of us out for a run and some food. :y
