There was a bloke from Ride magazine wearing a decent looking retro style lid while reviewing a Harley that I thought looked pretty good for that style or caff racer style bikes. It's a Nexx XG100 Devon helmet.

I like that, although it would mean you'll have to start putting the jam on top of the cream like the rest of civilised society (lol)

I bet Monty calls it a scon, rather than a scone.

Nope, it's a scone and the jam goes on first. Ideally with clotted cream nom nom nom

The pronunciation and order of toppings doesn't bother me too much but what I can't abide is when someone makes a sandwich out of the already split and topped scone. Facking heathens.

And back to biking....

As I've nearly got rid of the chicken strips I'm a little concerned about bottoming out the engine blocks yet am I right in thinking the hero bobs on the pegs will strike first; it looks close though?
