So I'm browsing the local shop, drooling on the 999's and such. I left my helmet hanging on the handlebar of a KTM (You know, those REALLY tall MX bikes
). Stupid.
THUNK -BOUNCE BOUNCE, SLIDE, ROLL. Duh... :
So everyone ooohs and aaahs and looks over my way. "You know what that means!" says the owner of the shop.
20 minutes later, standing in line at the local sub shop I start talking to Kathryn about the helmet episode (we were riding together that day). I noticed a dime-sized paint chip months ago (I thought came from our move from CA), nothing new from this new fall-but while we're talking about the prospect of buying a new helmet, she turns to me, big eyes fluttering, and tells me she dropped my helmet down the concrete stairs in CA 2 years ago and that's where the paint chip came from.
DOH! "2 years without telling me?!" I say.
"I was waiting for you to drop it again so you'd replace it without having to know I dropped it" :-*
So:
1. It's time, right?
2. What's the best helmet I can find for $250-350?
3. Should I punish Kathryn?
