NFX

Cheers guys, was a great laugh even if the weather was a bit shit.. Big thanks to Dave and Matt for organising it, and good to see the usual lot again, and some new faces Looking forward to the next one already

Dont forget to put me down for the rideout, Dave.. And if anybody is riding up from the south, you are welcome to tag along..

Im so good at my job that I can spend half of the day surfing the net on company time.. No.. Actually, im just lazy

Cheers everybody

Prob not as bad as their cars..

Im thinking thats wayy too small for me

Should I be Worried! Just bought 1st ever Nitro priced, £50. It fits well and is of the gold motorsport standard. Would I really be better Crash protected by spending more money?? Bearing in mind I have a pretty cautious riding style. ...And not planning on doing any trackdays anytime soon,, lol. Dont panic mate, all Im saying is that they are a budget helmet manufacturer.. Any lid should have all the relevant stamps for UK road use if sold as such, and will be safe to use.. Personally though, I ride every day and im happy to pay the premium for the peace of mind and quality I get from a more expensive lid.. We all have to start somewhere though, and a £50 Nitro lid was all I could afford when I first started riding, so I can appreciate why people buy them.(I dropped mine alot anyway ) My advice to anyone would be to buy the best helmet that you can afford, its what will save your life in the event of an accident. Oh, and dont be lured into a false sense of security just because you ride cautiously or defensively, other people on the roads will still drive like twats, regardless of how you ride

You're going to spend £200~ on a Nitro lid?? Why would you even be looking at Nitro lids if you had £200 to spend? You can buy an AGV S4, or an entry level Arai for that..

Budgets lids.. Had a Nitro lid when I first started riding 125's.. You wouldnt catch me wearing a £30 helmet now though, Id prefer my brain to stay inside my skull, not smeared all over the road

I thought the Isle of Wight was pretty small, shouldnt take too long to remember where everything is

You can usually spot these from a mile away cuz they are written so badly.. Professional companies eg. banks and the DVLA do not make punctuation and grammatical errors..

Shame im going to miss you guys, but I'll see you at the rideout though hopefully
