Re: Sharp Helmet Test Results

... are exactly where Arai's visor connection is. All helmets have a similar point so i guess if you moved the Sharp test point about 10mm either way, then Arai's results would improve dramatically and other manufacturers would struggle.

Re: Sharp Helmet Test Results

He's a fan of the AGV test facility. They do repeat impact testing including rotation testing, which is similar to the way our heads can bounce on the road then slide. The last time I spoke to him that was the only place he had been to. He's asked other companies but they've refused. ...

I'm the same Monty. I've jumped at 1000 ft for military para training and that was way scarer than jumping at 14,000 ft.

Those guys are fricken' nuts. I'm sure I heard one went splat recently.

Re: Brake caliper refurbs

... instead of £150 to have some old ones refurbed. Does it really matter what colour your spare calipers are ? they will be sat in a cupboard anyway won't they ? This way you would have £100 extra bling money towards a power commander or rear shock this way.

Found out it's quicker to get through Brum city centre on a bike than in an ambulance with sirens and lights blaring. He went one way, I went another and ended up about 300m ahead of him.

Re: What are you doing today ??

The so called cycle hut in Halfords put my rear tyre on the wrong way round. There's a direction of rotation and everything on the sidewall. I could use it and maybe be perfectly fine but it will play on my mind, so back it goes, hahaha.
