Spyderlovers Challenge

[Mo Lee]

Here's the situation, Today during the MoGang monthly ride at around 70mph all of a sudden there was a helmet in the road shattering in a million pieces. Seems one of us had it on their dash and accidently kicked it off. No harm done we just had to hit a store for another one. Now for the challenge, many of you know most of the MoGang quite well from Spyderfest and other gatherings. Who can guess who this happened to and explain how it could happen. Sorry MoGang is excluded from guessing.

Why wasn't it on someone's head? My guess is Len.

It's the idea of a helmet shattering when it hits that has me nervous. :yikes:

:roflblack: It's the idea of someone having their foot up on the dash at 70 mph that has me nervous! :lecturef_smilie:

Aww no fair!! :roflblack:

 

[spyder3]

Len, no doubt:roflblack:

 

[SethO]

i would guess joe, I think he puts it up there from time to time.

 

[Mo Lee]

No one has even attempted to explain how!

 

[NancysToy]

:agree: That was my thought, too.

I think it shattered after I hit it. Didn't have time to avoid it and next thing I knew it was right in front of me and went under my Spyder and came out the left side before the rear wheel.

Probably still should've held up better than it did though.

Maybe it was an "Almost DOT approved" model... :shocked:

Putting a foot on the dash at 70 and knocking a helmet off... :hun:

Okay, I'll take a stab at how it happened. Going 70 mph when he feels his phone vibrate so he takes his helmet off and puts it on the handlebars to answer the phone but as he pulls out his phone he realizes that he missed the call. So he decides to send a text message so he puts the cruise control on and puts his leg up to steer with his foot so he can text with both thumbs when he knocks the helmet off.

Now THAT'S multitasking taken to extremes! :clap:

...and I can't even chew gum and breathe at the same time! pps:

I was right behind you. I thought you hit a big turtle....hyea:

[Mo Lee]

Ok, it seems some of you do know us well. However no texting was involved this time and it seems the handlebars were being used for highway pegs.

MoLee...........this actually happened earlier in the day also on the way to Jeff City. Someone (who will remain nameless for now}:dontknow: passed Linda and I "standing" on his Spyder, without his helmet on and after he got in front of us the helmet went skipping down the road and into the weeds on the opposite side. Jeff and Brenda retrieved it and returned it to the owner (who will still remain nameless):dontknow: after we were able to get his attention so he would stop. He didn't even realize that he lost it!:roflblack:

I think he needs a string so he can hang it around his neck like they used to wear Cowboy hats in the old westerns.

That would even make an interesting sunburn when he is shirtless.
