Maybe some surplus helmets from biggles would be appropriate for series drivers

Sounds plausible.

Completely off topic......[biggrin]

I still have a massive scar in the top of my right arm from the window that popped out of the rubber of the S1,as the vehicle decided to lay on its side.(that was about 45yrs ago)[bigsad]

Back to helmets,i do a lot of riding,mainly on trails.

I generally have a helmet all the time.Not only is it a safety device,but it puts the magpies,kookaburras and butcherbirds off.

My thoughts are a helmet should be on all the time while on a bike.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Do they also turn a blind eye to Marijuana use as well so as not to put off the visitors from certain States in the US and from Amsterdam?

Or allowing smoking in the casino for the high rollers ? One rule for the plebs another for the dollar. At least Byron isn’t far to go for a visit !

Naa, that's only in Nimbin. ;)

Which is a lovely one hour drive into the hills west.

Last time I pulled up in Nimbin I had barely opened the door and my feet were still in the car when a bloke asked, "Wanna buy some dope? "

I feel somewhat put out.
I've never been offered anything anytime I've been there, not even a hash cookie!!
