Bugsy Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 There is a very old maxim that says,"If you've got a fifty pence head put a fifty pence helmet on it" The youngsters in france who ride with their helmets un-fastened or perched on the top of their heads. It just defies belief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonzjob Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 It more than defies belief Bugsy, it is totally stupid and why don't the damjams clobber it?I think a tuppeny helmet would do most of that lot. A bit like Sikhs and their turbans peut etra? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callie Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Look at the gendarmes in summer - short sleeved shirts, nylonny jodphurs and those gorgeous leather boots !Then of course it's cool in the summer to wear flip flops and shorts........
