An alternate rationale...
On ebay there is a motorcycle helmet posted for sale whose attributes
as described include a rationale which would not, as far as I can tell, apply to any current unit available for bicycle use. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=4532072 885 or http://tinyurl.com/66xat The description gives these selling points: BRAND NEW OPEN FACE HELMET. HELMET IS LARGE SIZE HELMET HAS AN ADJUSTABLE CHIN STRAP HELMET DOES NOT HAVE DOT OR SNELL RATING HELMET WILL GET YOU LAID I have never previously seen the last claim made for items in this category. Perhaps this is the key point that the merchandisers have overlooked in their efforts. (Of course, for the majority of riders of my experience, this is not an issue about which they feel that there is a significant lack which need to be addressed, so perhaps it would not be worth the R&D effort.) -- My email address is antispammed; pull WEEDS if replying via e-mail.

HELMET WILL GET YOU LAID By who? *cues up the CD....* Sing along... Johnny's mom was worried She caught him in the bathroom With a copy of GQ The men's fall fashion issue. So, she called her pastor The respected Reverend Bean Who after a minute of silence, said "I'll pray for thee." Johnny's dad was absent At another men's convention For Christian men who need to learn To be better dads. Johnny's mom kept quiet About her son's sin Afraid that Dad would beat The holy **** out of him. Under the disco ball, Another child will fall Under the spell of leather And the big kick drum. They have a scheme They have a plan, To take the children of our land Turn them into stylists And women who play golf. -Jill Sobule "Under the Disco Ball" -- BMO |

Unless of course they mean "laid" as in 'laid out on a slab if you wreck". I wouldn't touch it |
