    An unmaned rider was killed on the Douglas roundabout this AM when a
    truck and his bike collided :-(
    WOT.

  2. Maybe if he'd kept his hair, it would've given extra shock-absorbing
    qualities inside his helmet.

    Bald heads should be banned! How many people must die on our roads every
    year, due to no hair!!

    Not me, and I haven't heard anything. And as you said, poor bugger.

    Nope, wasn't me, although a 4WD moved into my lane right next to me this
    morning just a couple of ks from there.

    I recomend advanced hair to every new rider, someday those skills may save
    your life, dont worry about training couses, its the hair you gota worry
    about.

    Also wear a quality light weight wig

  6. Advance Hair Training

    1. Get that comb-over just right, to protect any exposed areas from
    abrasion.

    2. Volumiser! Instantly get that extra crumple zone that can make the
    difference between life and death. Can also be used in conjunction with
    a deep permanent wave to extend the crumple zone for a bigger safety
    margin.

    3. Learn how to use conditioner for maximum effect. Smooth frictionless
    strands are better able to slide along the road surface. Instant teflon
    knee-sliders for your that most valuable part of the body - the head.

    4. Wigs - for that instant extra protection when you haven't got time to
    preen.

    5. One word - "tangle free hair treatment". Alright - that's four words
    - but four words that could mean the difference between getting snagged
    on protruding roadside furniture or flowing effortlessly around it with
    minimal cranial damage.

    Advanced Hair Training. Do yourself a favour and enhance your survival
    skills on today's modern road with today's modern coiffure. Coming to a
    rider training centre near you - SOON!

    It would seem to be the father of one of the Netrider folk.
