Oh, and the cracked helmet? I was tearing down an overgrown gravel lane at the quarry, hit a rock. flew over the handle bars head first into another VERY large rock. Without the helmet......... Well, I'm sure that would have been the last of my days. However I never told my mother she was right and it saved my butt. Still hated the helmet after that but the crack made it cooler.
