Ladies On Two Wheels

Just saying. I often forget to send in the manufacturer's registration card for small appliances, etc. But I always (eventually) send in the card for my helmet. It pays off.

Schuberth is sending me a new ($729 retail price) helmet to replace the one I crashed in, for $260. I had to send them the crashed in helmet, along with the incident report and copy of my license (to prove I hold a valid M permit).

The store where I bought the helmet - Bob's BMW - had already forwarded proof of purchase to Schuberth on my behalf. Yet another reason to use a brick and mortar shop for helmet purchase. Most up to date MC shops have a database of customers and can look up details of previous purchases.

As I recall, many other helmet companies will do the same, or similar - for the sake of examining the crashed helmet for safety research and future improvements.

My new helmet should be here tomorrow! Can't wait to be able to ride again!!

Wow I would have never thought of that. It makes sense when I think about it though. First hand accounts of the accident and having the helmet to examine. Better than a lab in many ways.
I'm glad you'll be back on the road soon!!!

Whoa! Never thought of that. Will do! With the track, knock on wood... but not a bad thing to know.

New helmet arrived today! W00t!! Now to add reflective flowers.

on another note, I spoke to one of the EMT's who cared for me at the scene, the week after I got home - he gave his number to my friend - he wanted to know how I fared. They were able to get my jacket off without cutting it, he actually apologized for having to cut my boot to get it off. He was very grateful that I was wearing good gear (my injuries would have been MUCH uglier), and that full face helmet.
