Going to France? BEWARE!!!

[Tinytim]

WTF are you on about?!

Adhesives have been proven to reduce the strength of the shell and therefore making wearing one useless. So your point is what Einstein?!

My point is if we all listened to hysterical coonts like you ( and the OP) we'd never go out of the fookin house. Yea, heard that one about the "reduced strength" and no doubting of the scientific facts - but to what extent is it relevant? Gonna make a lot of fekkin difference if ya heed gets run over by a truck? Gonna make a fekkin difference when you hit that stone wall? Is it fekk as like. You'll be quoting shit outta the fookin MCN next or worse still Visordown. Tell ya what, stop at home and stick to ya Playstation wearing ya Hi-Vis and ya non-stickered helmet. A lot safer dude.

At what point was it stated by either myself or the OP that everybody should stay in doors and play a playstation?!?! I merely stated that it is proven to reduce the strength of the helmet and therefore it COULD be the difference between life and death - if not helmets wouldn't be compulsory! On road and track Obviously there will be some instances that the only way you would have survived would have been to stay at home on a PS, but for the instances were a spill in a helmet saves your life I'll keep mine as designed by Arai (or other manufacturers) thank you!

It wasn't. Ya critical analysis of the written word leaves a lot to be desired.

You further lost it at "were" .

What exactly does this mean as it's just empty rhetoric to me. Meaningless drivel sorry.

I must compliment you on your use of the English language when you use "Ya" when I believe that this should read "Your" (but this would just be pedantic of me!! bl4hbl4h).

 

[Tinytim]

Is that it?

"My bad" as they say.

I guess well agree to disagree on the safety features provided by a helmet, as well as the use of the English language?! d04l1ng

Fook that, I disagree. :neenaw:

Arai helmets (and quite a few others) come with the stickers in the box (well at least on mainland Europe they do), so designed to be used together, I guess.

 

[O_Ghost]

Can the Froggy ecilop actually stick you for 3 points? I can see the fine being slapped on additionally if you were being a bad boy speeding and Mr Gendarme was unimpressed with your attitude.

Just returned from a 2000 mile trip through Spain and France didn't get a tug once, plenty of police and bikers and didn't see any reflective stickers don't know what the fuss is about:neenaw::neenaw:

 

[tabletenniser]

Just had my car mot'd, seems the headlight has to be at a level so as not to blind oncoming traffic, so how far away do you have to be for the lights to reflect off of the stickers on your helmet?? :dunno: 20 to 30 feet I would have said the dipped beam would not shine on the helmet!! now if they were at ground level or a foot or so above, then I could see the point as you would be able to see the reflective bits, like most cars/bikes etc have their reflectors low down!! same as push irons sometimes have them on the pedals!!:dunno: pretty bloody pointless otherwise IMO!!:-0)

Re: Reflective stickers

Just got back from France an no one on the Eurotunnel train had stickers on there lids same out there.

 

[Jon Boy]

It's like anything "it's only illegal if you get caught"

 

[Jono]

My new Schuberth comes with instructions that states clearly that no stickers should be applied to the helmet, or is that just the Krauts getting their own back :-0)
