Obviously I was wearing WWII fighter pilot goggles at the time and yes, they filled up with blood just like they do in the movies.I'm glad you're OK and that there wasn't any serious damage. As you say though, "there's always one", but there's not many more! And yet at the start of the thread you'd have thought that almost everyone in an open face helmet was destined to need total facial reconstruction surgery.

I've got socks older than you 
(I keep that very pair just so I can say that)
my response to people who were born in the 90's:(I keep that very pair just so I can say that)
"you're not even old enough to hold your bloody head up"
or
"are you allowed to cross the street on your own?"

Oh I'm extremely positive, I can even remember the car reg plate. Just looked and it seems I wrote it off as it was last taxed in Sept 1984 
When I think about it, my bike clothing in 1984 was leather jacket, jeans, boots with sea boot socks folded over but a full face helmet. I did get my first 2 piece leather suit late that year (but I kept the boots and sea boot socks!)black-k1 said:

it'd be interesting to see pictures of peoples old helmets and leathers if they had any....

My first 2 piece was from Hideout (then in Cambridge but still going now) and were made of goat skin. They looked like a current zip all around 2 piece touring leather suit but had little in the way of armour other than extra layers of leather on elbows hips and knees.how have 2 piece leathers changed over the last 30 years?
