Yesterday, as I was taking off my helmet in the parking lot at work, several vehicles sped rapidly out of the parking lot. As I put my helmet down to get my camera out, the tail fell off of my helmet.
Usually, when the ears and/or tail fall off the helmet, they fall off suction cup and all, and oddly enough they fall off when I put the helmet down, or some other stationary and opportune moment. You would think that they would fall off at 55 mph, but it's usually somewhere I can simply pick them up again and stick them back on.
This time, however, the tail had come apart from the suction cup. I think that this tail broke because I noticed that it had a tendency to swoop in a circle (the different tails that I have had seem to swoop and flutter differently), and I think that it twisted enough to break the thread holding the tail to the suction cup.
This is what a helmet looks like with no tail:
And this is what a helmet looks like with nothing at all (WARNING!! NAKED HELMET BELOW!)
On a different note, I had the opportunity to take a picture of my motorcycle from a different angle. Mine would be the good looking one. ;)
Ta!

The helmet does seem to be missing a bit of something, doesn't it? I like the photo from up on the roof. Hope you had the camera strap around your neck!
ReplyDeleteI like it too.
ReplyDeleteI was actually too short to really see the motorcycles and had to hold the camera up and point in the general direction of the motorcycles.
I got it on the second try.
