Fat Albert Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 . in slow motion simply cannot believe their blasé attitude to life, Morales was laughing & joking with Noyes (the rider in front) within minutes of walking away Quote
Blatman Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 I don't think it's blasé. They accept the risks before ever stepping out of bed in the morning, and with acceptance comes a certain relaxed attitude when it all goes pear shaped. I had a similar attitude to my former career. I had to. If I worried about the potential consequences every day, I'd never have gone to work... Quote

RedditchJay Posted July 6, 2010 Author Posted July 6, 2010 I raced for over 25years, covering British Championships and IOM TT and ALWAYS used Aria.... never changed, I was ridden over once in a 600cc Supersport race at Donny at the Old Hairpin and the riders brake disc took off my visor..... helmet stayed intact and did the job Quote
