Flight helmets on motorcycles!

[T5limit]

So there I was - driving down the 401, passing a V-twin oil leak (Harley) and both driver and passenger are wearing old gentex helmets!! I know I''d hate to fall off my ride wearing my work lid. I wonder if it had been dark out if they would have been utilizing the NVG mount?

Some people have some funny ideas......

A few years ago, my good buddy, Gord Innis delivered a 206B to Edmonton and was about to get on the bus for Fort St. John when he spotted a motorcycle for sale that he just couldn''t live without. The salesman tried to sell him a helmet too, but clutched to his left hand was a Gentex SPH-4. He showed up in town a day later with the drop chord whipping in the wind.

Gord Innis. Thats funny itself seeing him in a 206.

Knees up to his ears.
I picked up my bro one day in Calgary when he flew home Calgary with a f-18 and while driving him home I throw his helmet on
while cruising down the road with the visor down and the oxygen mask on. Sure get some funny looks.

Hmm - don''t try this at home boys and girls - flight helmets are stressed for impact, not being scraped along the roadway.....

Anyone see Gord lately? I last heard he was starting a buffalo farm south of PG and flying for Campbell.

Gord was with Cambell this winter and Im not sure if he is with them for the summer or not.

Hey Firehawk,

Next time ya see Gordie tell him RDM said hello, if he has no idea what RDM stands for tell him that I was the guy that followed his dad around Labrador for years trying to learn from him (I know before ya say it CTD "didn't work") http://www.caaviation.com/idealbb/images/smilies/3.gif'>
