Crash helmet exemtion - worth investigating?

Before we do these things we do our homework don't we? Or don't you?
And that is why I am here.
I'm not trolling, and that really seems to freak you out.

 

Not a chance. You could ride a trike, of course. To do that, you have to
grow a beard, shave your head and wear stupid shades.

Personally, I think you're daft. Long before helmets were compulsory, I
wore one 99% of the time. And that was when there was a fifth of the
traffic that's on the roads now.

 

Lozzo took a blunt brush and painted...

Badoom *tish*!

 

90cc, surely

 

I'm trying to imagine what kind of surgery would stop you wearing /any/
helmet, & failing. Sure you might not be able to wear one that fits,
but couldn't you get one of the uber-light CF ones & carve out a load
of the polystyrene so you're left with a very light & loose shell that
barely touches your head apart from on the top? It wouldn't help much
in a crash, but plod would be none the wiser.

 

Rent a field.

 

I think the growing arm hair on his face suggests it not quite run of the
mill surgery. Major maxillofacial stuff I'd guess.

Yup - most of maxilla, left eye & cheek, with excision of lymph nodes in
neck and then the re-constructive stuff which is pretty swollen and
won't go down for quite some time.
(Gor bless the NHS who looked after me wonderfully well)

 

Igor is that you ?

 

Yeth Mathter ... ith it time to water the brainth Mathter?

Are beanies legal there?

 

If you mean "pudding Basins", then in certain circumstances, yes.

Old helmets are still legal, if they bear a British Standards
kitemark[1], but modern Pudding Basins don't appear to be, as they
don't meet modern standards[2].

YTC#1 wibbled forthrightly:

The sikhi wiki is a bit unclear:

http://www.sikhiwiki.org/index.php/Turban,_UK_Legislation_Regarding_its_
use_by_Sikhs

I always thought it was 125cc but can't find any references, atm.

 

There's a *Sikh* wiki??!! Isn't the internet great? )

 

The amendment permitting wearing the turban doesn't appear to refer to
any capacity restriction. I don't imagine it would be practical at
full tilt on a Hayabusa, though, but I could visualise the speed
criminal TOG peering out of one as he terrorises the back doubles of
central London on his GN250...

There is something a bit North Korean about that phrase.
