New vehicle

Certainly is in comparsion to nearly every car on here..................lol

Well, yea. It does 60 in 3.5 seconds, It's fast in comparison to most cars in the world... On acceleration anyway, book top end is only about

140-150mph, and my helmet is too s**te and worn and as such, starts to come off my head around 90mph (allegedly).

Sorry, that's not a vehicle that's a pushbike with a motor.

Invest in a decent helmet. Seriously.

Even though it would be able to eat any one of your rust bucket jags for breakfast, without 2 much problem............

Be highly amusing if you are a bike owner yourself though................I would say bearing in mind the s**te taste you have in cars, something that a Taiwan made Harley would be quite likely....................lol

As Bell used to say, if you've got a $10 head, wear a $10 helmet.

I never wear a helmet. That's a bike you make go without the use of petrol though ;).

I'm fairly sure Steve's sold his Jag anyway, but out of interest, do tell us how many seconds his recent one took to accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour.

Agreed 100%. Gotta pop through to Leeds next week anyway, so I'll dive into J&S and pick up something better.

Drive in PE supplies! Fantastic.

It was nice knowing you.

Even on a bicycle I wear a helmet now. Probably has to do with seeing a mates helmet after he had a crash on a bikepath with a pedestrian. He went straight over the handlebars and landed on his head. Cracked his helmet clean in two. He was fine other than some scrapes. No helmet and he would of been in hospital.

Isn't it the law where you are?

The one good thing about the helmet laws in Australia is that they've served as a very good data set to demonstrate that cycle helmets are in fact pretty much useless. There is no net benefit from wearing them.

Now obviously there are cases where wearing a lump of packing foam will help. So either people wearing the foam take more risks, other people take more risks near people wearing foam hats, or foam hats actually make some crashes worse.

Personally I reckon it's a combination of the first and the third - I've got personal experience of those - but this is only supposition.

Re your mates crash - it takes a surprisingly small hit to crack a helmet in two. They're supposed to protect by crushing, not splitting.

cheers, clive

Decades?
