The pudding basin lives

One has only to tour on the continent to find that the realy really
enthusiast, the hard rider, the virile motorcyclist, sports the classic
basin, as a matter of course.

One may rest assured that providing British manufacturers do not approach
the Department of the Environment, insisting that anything but the space,
or full face helmet must be "out" by law, there will come a time, in the
very near future, when fashion demands that to be a "real" rider, and
enthusiast, one only dare may be seen in the essentially modern pudding
basin, and of course a pair of well fitting, good quality racing goggles.
You have been pleasantly warned! Not wishing to appear arrogantly vain, I
can assure readers that I am rarely wrong on issues of this nature.

 

There are only 2 things that the pudding basin helmet has a use for:

Dennis, you're a twat but thanks for making me laugh

 

Matters of what nature?

Your post is so poorly written that it's hard to work out what your
addled brain is trying to communicate.

Of course, you appear to belong to MAG so it's a given that you're a
grade-A fuckwit.

 

I hate to possess a suspicious mind, but could it be that the helmet
manufacturer who has a large advertisement is attempting, to my mind at
least, a subtle direction to all potential clients, that "one is only in
the scene, if one buys the latest helmet".

Maintaining a very close eye on, and ear to, the way of the times, and
certainly being far far from a straight, as the world goes, I should
perhaps advise the keen motorcyclist that the "pudding basin" is not old
fashioned, but that certain people have made it "out of fashion".
