    Actually, how many times, actually, can one person, actually, say "actually" in one interview?

    Actually, sounded like they might offer better protection than conventional helmets, actually.

    Doesn't look like much in the way of ventilation actually, so might actually make you head a bit sweaty.

    Potential for equestrian and snow sports as well.

    Might have to buy a case of wine this evening and see if I can't build my own :wink:

    No mention of RLJ, tax etc.
    It could be a good idea. A touch pricey at the moment (around 80GBP) but that is almost certainly going to drop.

    From what I heard, I'm pro.

    80GBP? I'm sure you could make your own for less...

    least it's re-cycled :D

    Hope it's not made using one of Wiggle's boxes.

    off thread I know, but have you seen the quality/workmanship of boxes from Rose Bikes?
