With it getting chillier, along with the Joe Rocket jacket being hung up for another year and getting the Frank Thomas Aqua Jacket out, it's time for the LS2 helmet to have a break.
Cleaned and put away in the cupboard above the wardrobe and the Qwest taken down and dusted off. I refitted the Cardo Teamset and made sure that it was charged and paired with my phone.
It's not that I want to make a phone call, but you never know when there's an emergency and need to receive a call!
Although saying that I did use it when a few years ago I was on the M25 to the south of London and I saw a car veering across the carriageway before crashing on the hard shoulder. I kept my helmet on when I called 999 to get police and ambulance. I did pull the guy out of the car and into the recovery position at the (safe) side of the road. A nurse stopped and helped me but the job of tugging him across the car from drivers to passenger side was done.
I never listen to music as I prefer my own thoughts to that distraction, so an elderly Cardo Scala is sufficient.
I guess in these days of the perpetually offended it's not allowed for me to mention that I had to spend a good fifteen minutes cleaning and rubbing my helmet ..
