We all know that top notch gear like the Aerostich Roadcrafter, a top of the line full face helmet, and such are valuable investments. Increased weather protection makes if more comfortable, and thus safer, when riding. Maximum protection is provided ( God forbid! ) when....... Not to mention that we look stylish and good! I know I get much better looking in a full face helmet, for example.
I know price is an issue. It can be a struggle to get the wallet to open a bit wider. There might be an issue with getting a Significant Other on board with the purchase decision. Sometimes we need just a little bit more of a reason to buy other than what I mentioned in the first paragraph. So, in the interest of helping out in that regard, I offer the following.
Multi-tasker. That's right. Value for the money. More than one usage that helps justify a purchase. That little bit of extra ammunition to seal the deal.
Thinking outside the box, I offer another use for top of the line riding gear.
I sincerely hope this helps.
Miles and smiles,
Dan
LOL. Ready to battle the forces of evil!
ReplyDeleteTwo things:
ReplyDeleteYou might want to add nose plugs to the gear, and...
Close that shield before someone goes off like a fountain!
to think, back in the day we all did this without any safety gear whatsoever...we're lucky we survived!
Be careful Dan. Too much multi-tasking of gear might backfire. You might come home to find your significant other has used your riding boots as a vase.
ReplyDeleteYour technique reflects a major error. The face shield MUST be down!

ReplyDeletea. you probably frightened the poor kid.
b. As the others have opined, that visor being up is going to be no help once the boy lets loose of the waterworks!
"It can be a struggle to get the wallet to open a bit wider. There might be an issue with getting a Significant Other on board with the purchase decision". Hahaha - I love it!!!
ReplyDeleteThere's always a quid pro quo with our loved ones. Sometimes when I'm feeling extra brave, I work on the principle that it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. Normally suffer for a few days after that approach :-)
Lots of piss and vinegar flying around. Mind any excuse to get grandpa and the new grandchild involved in photography.
ReplyDeleteSneaky!

Very well done, Dan!
ReplyDeleteYou are gonna scare the poor child wearing all that getup.
ReplyDeleteVery funny - get a video and send it to AFV. It should play.
ReplyDeleteWell played, ol'chap! Well played, indeed.
ReplyDeleteDear Sir:
ReplyDeleteI find it is easier to purchase the gear first, then to put it on, before explaining to the gentle Haus Frau how much it cost — and that my protection is actually her Valentine's Day Gift. I have since tested 3 helmets this way.

So, you're advising more grandchildren? Interesting sales technique! LOL!!
