Re: A $12 motorcycle "helmet" from the market (Pics)
Do you still have it and use it? If not, what size?LTO wrote:Yeah, I saw that jagged piece of plastic in the photo. Still, weighing the risk between maybe getting sliced up by some broken plastic vs the sort of damage that could be caused by smacking my completely unprotected skull on the pavement at speed, I think I'd risk the plastic cuts. Those helmets are definately shit but I've seen a couple of motorcycle accidents involving those cheap helmets, one in which the helmet was split in half by the impact, and the driver was still conscious afterward. Something of a judgement call I guess.
I bought a pretty good helmet in Thailand a few years back. Fortunately have not put it to the ultimate test. It may not be up to US standards, but it feels stronger than the stuff available here in Cambodia. Can't remember what I paid for it, but it wasn't $300. Somewhere around $100 I think.
I'll give ya 500 Riel for it...

HEY, he's not weaving, he's just wobbling a bit, geez. Get off hit tits eh. It's a great strategy really.

I'll let it go if you will. Not trying to argue. Cheers. I just don't like my words twisted around. I hope you understand.

Yes, I still have it, and though I rarely use it I still do sometimes so want to hang onto it. Probably too big anyway. Took a bit of work finding one big enough to contain my fat head.Sir_Quality_U_Feel wrote:Do you still have it and use it? If not, what size?

The local Extra Larges are too small. I have a very big head. No worries though. Just thinking if you were not using it, I would maybe be interested in it.LTO wrote:Yes, I still have it, and though I rarely use it I still do sometimes so want to hang onto it.
