New Lid, well, newish.......

Post by badgerKDD »

Ok, I've had it a few months now but I've been a bit busy and am now just finding time to catch up :D !

Its actually from Graham (Graham22 on site) and I know people have definite ideas about second hand helmets, also the rules about changing your lid every 5-7 years but working with composites for the last 20 odd years I have a pretty good understanding of how they work etc.

I know Graham is really careful about how he looks after his Bike Gear and know its history, but also considering that I repair and recondition vintage surfboards I know well made glassfibre composites will last 20 plus years if properly looked after. Believe me, if you've ever tried sanding old laminates, even just a month or so, it gets harder the longer you leave it and that's on a piece of equipment that gets massive amounts of UV and weather exposure.

Anyway, I love it! Good vision and comfortable with decent noise protection, although I still wear ear plugs on longer trips.

Still kicking myself for selling that lid, glad you're happy with it.

Is the Furygan Jacket I sent pics of any good for Tess? Meant to pop in yesterday as competing nearby but looks like your car had gone by the time I was leaving.

yeah sorry, meant to text you back on that one. She's decided she's happy with her Jacket, as she prefers the longer style, keeps her back warmer.

That's ok, it'll be winter soon enough, this good weather can't last ;) :))
