Bonny and I were returning from a super day in Cromer on Sunday evening.....We were about 10 miles away from Kings Lynne and I was riding at about 80 mph... I was hit head on the helmet by a pigeon....At the time I had no idea what it was..I was covered in blood and feathers.... The impact tore the visor off the helmet and broke the internal tinted visor. The forehead part of the helmet is cracked....This is my NEW SCHUBERTH J1 lid !!!!!...I managed to stay upright and after gathering my senses walked back to find the visor which is also broken...at the time I thought that it could be repaired. I have a stiff neck and have had to fork out £350 for a new lid, but it could have been much worse....I dread to think what would have happened if I had been wearing the old Caeberg Downtown... Anyway i'm here to tell the tale and I was pleased with my initial reaction and keeping it upright. Has any one else suffered the same ????
The lid was less than a month old and I had all the Autocom headset fitted...... How much is a new head ?!! _________________ If you want your dreams to come true, don't oversleep !!!
Hiya Phil, Sorry to hear about your head-on with a pidgeon. You do realize they are an endangered species... with all the cctv around you could be prosecuted... on a serious note, im glad your are both ok and here to tell the tale.
sounds about right for King's Lynn. I did my driving test there and on 2 occasions was dive bombed by Pheasants!! Glad ur ok... Dependsing on what colour and size you want, i could get you a new head pretty cheap!! lol
But could you pop over here sometime? We have pigeons that need culling, and the neighbours get upset if I loose off the twelve bore over their gardens. _________________ You can fool some of the people all of the time - and they're the ones to focus on!
