Well, on the loaner helmet issue it's not just leavin's from the previous
wearers. Last one I had to use - there were only a couple of XL buckets
available - had most of the lining shredded, leaving foam all over the
place. Tough to concentrate on your driving when you've got to go chase
down a helmet at the last second and then worry about whether it will drop
sump'n in your eyes in the middle of the run. Yecch.

This falls apart in a hurry - I drive a Mustang. It's WAY prettier than
me. It does have a bra that could pass for a goatee like mine, though...
no gray though.
