Nice one :thumbsup:

[Mr ZS180]

Nice sticker but they advise against sticking stickers on a helmet as the glue breaks down the plastic and decreases protection.

[mattie007]

Really! That's not good!

We dont worry about trivial things like that here, your showing your support and we congratulate you for it!

Trivial?? That's like saying stick a giant MG sticker over the car windscreen on the drivers side. Doesn't matter as you're just showing support!

Have you ever come off a motorbike?? You realise then that safety isn't trivial.

Show your support by sticking stickers all over the bike, embroidered into the suit, but never compromise your own safety!

Sorry if it came out a bit harsh mate. Didn't mean that. Wasn't out of order at all. It's just that I have come off a bike quite fast before and was wearing denim (which one would assume would give good protection) not leathers and now show the scars where they ripped to shreds. I now really appreciate the value of being safe and wearing the proper equipment.

Hope I didn't offend anyone :oops:

What about all the decals you get on helmets from the factory then? Do they use special glue??

[KirkJames]

Never mind, this link explains why etc.

Never ever ride in tshirt and shorts! I look at people doing that and think "knob ends... they are gonna smart when they come off! - IF they don't kill themselves!"

The worst ones are the 16 year olds that have t-shirt, shorts and trainers, and then go weaving round the traffic, and riding 2cms behind your bumper.

I think if one of these idiots crashed into the back of me and came off for being too close I would get out of the car, kick him, and drive off!

None taken bud, I had a bad mountain bike crash a few year ago and it was a lid that saved me from more serious injury. I know that aint as quick as a motorbike but i was downhilling through a wooded section when a large oak tree stopped me dead! Probably why i went into forestry lol.
As far as i'm aware through health and safety you not even meant to use a marker pen on helmets for the same reason as stickers, must be the chemicals used.

I have actually had that happen to me. Was driving home one day when had to stop at traffic lights when this little bee in a biscuit tin crashed into the back of me. The chavvy family asked if they could pay for the work to be done rather than go through insurance, then tried to argue the quote down. So I told 'em to get f**ked and telephoned insurance company in front of them. Knob ends :slap:

Ive only ridden a few times in t shirt when its extremely hot and not going far. Usually have a jacket on :)
Its the ones who ride on superbikes at 100mph plus in t shirts that I worry about.
