If he tilts his head forward thusly, that helmet can snag a variety of food mid-air such as deer bounding across the road, low flying geese, the occasional salmon in a flooded road, etc. Not goofy at all, but ingenious survivalist gear. And the Indian being a slow moving bike, the chainmail is adequate protection.
sanmo, at the risk of being lumped into the group of others that seem to enjoy verbally sparring with you, I have to ask. Don't you see the dichotomy (<--
my big word of the day, and yes I did have to look it up just before I typed it just to make sure I am using it and spelling it correctly) in the highlighted statements?
Regardless, I see it, and that was the basis of my earlier remark. That and the way he said he can "stick food on the spikes" as though like shish kebab, where most would say "catch food (headkill?) on the spikes".
I do agree with you about the chainmail.
At those speeds D30 would be overkill (not to be confused with headkill).
