never seen one myself

I`ve never seen a turban rider before.

4

Never seen one myself, which I find surprising.

It can’t be beyond the wit of man, though, to design a crash helmet that fits over a turban.

5

ive seen one…but he put a helmet over the turban :wink: :w00t:

6

Yeah I have.
A bit of an anomaly in the law that one, rule for them, another for the rest of us…

7

I bet if he was on a busa going down the motorway it wouldnt stay on for long :smiley: imagine that a turbine bouncing off your windscreen :smiley:

8

seen a couple in southall, only on scooters tho.

9

A turbine would certainly make the Busa go a lot quicker :laugh:

10

i see one no and again and the fulham putney area

11

Yep I’ve seen a Sikh man on a bike near blackwall tunnell, no helmet just a turban :slight_smile:

12

Seen a couple,they were both traffic wardens on scooters ,maybe it was the same one!

13

I saw one at Hogarth Roundabout recently. Was mesmerised come up behind him, wondering what I was looking at. I wouldn’t take the risk!

14

I remember reading about a state in America that ditched the helmet law (just a trial) - apparently bike accidents went down during the trial because people felt more exposed and were more cautious without lids.Wouldn’t fancy it myself though - I’ve already slid down the road on my lids chin bar - wouldn’t fancy doin it on my face. . .

15

only thought about it when I was sadly reading the highway code.

remember del boys classic turban helmet

16

Used to see one about west london way, blue turban to match his blue blackbird … :stuck_out_tongue:

17

Guy in Woolwich wears a turban wrapped helmet, I’m told by a Sikh I work with.

Sort of has a logic.

18

i’m told that the turban has to always be in contact with the head so don’t know if wrapping up a helmet would help. haha

19

I have seen the someone ‘pretending’ to wear a turban on a bike. Well it wasn’t technically a turban- more a ragged piece of cloth clumsily tied on his head- but I guess he hoped it would pass for a turban- maybe he’d lost his lid?

So that’s the answer to the problem when you have your helmet stolen.

Hit the roller towel with the pocket knife, wind a make believe turban and, hey presto, your “legal”.

Keeping up the cod accent if your stopped might be another problem though.
