couldn't agree more on that one.

You got to have one that provides the protection as noted in the standard. The price shouldn't come into it.

I hope all the entrants have taken on board the refinement to the rules though.

I can't believe the flap you guys are getting into!!
ANY UK MARKETED GOOD QUALITY motorcycle helmet will meet the standard, many exceed it by a lot!

So, how much do you value your head?

I have 1 of Adam's roof helments - good value IMHO, and in the right colour. I also have a shoei xr 800 I've painted.

The only downside of the roof helmets is they are supposedly designed for fairly round heads - But they do have adjustable wedges in to alter the liner fit a bit.

Hving just had a nice long walk along the front Saturday afternoon if it's the same next weekend, you are all bloody Heros and your commitment to boating is beyond reproach. Just hope its warmer next week for ya all.

Yeh, wicked, but I need bigger arms and to go faster!
Unfortunately didn't get properly out into the bay, it was shite conditions! Poked my head out a couple of times, but it struck me as boat breaking weatha, you could surf (no exaggeration) off those muthas, and that struck me as a bad thing.
