My one neighbour has a bunch of vintage Triumph motorcycles and some modern stuff for his daily commute.
Anyway, I recently had offered him two pairs of vintage style black leather riding trousers and an awesome black leather riding jacket that I wanted to go to a new home as I ride only in synthetics these days..
So Mike popped around and we chatted for a while, and of course Katy's name came up and that she has never been on a bike, I needed to buy a decent helmet etc. I have got a nice jacket already for her to wear.
Anyway, he excused himself and 5 minutes later he was back with two helmets, both like new, one a cheaper flip front and the other an expensive BMW flip front helmet. Seems he replaces his helmets every year, and uses a few different ones. So these were both like new, thenBMW one even smells new.
"Fair trade?" He asked me...... Of course I had never intended a trade, I just like paying it forward in my life and passing the kit to him came naturally.
Katy has tried on the BMW helmet and looked just like a silly grinning chipmunk in it. Perfect.
