Chocolate LogGiro Semi MX
18 September
Now, many of us feel the need (peer pressure or otherwise) to wear some protection on our heads when indulging in bike riding, canoeing, and crime fighting. so recently I chose to procure a Giro Semi MX. Straight out of the box this lid means trouble, it has the appearance of a hollowed out pumpkin, with a roofing tile stuck in the top (if you look at it through a welding mask) The differing pads supplied make for easy adjustment to any bonce, though John Merrick and Quasimodo may prefer to look at the Met range, and in no time I had the helmet perched upon my own cranium and stood before the mirror. The tale tells of a man, wandering aimlessly for months, maybe years, around the Rocky Mountains. After walking for many miles over rough terrain with little sustenance, he comes across a lake, a huge mass of water with a flat calm surface reflecting like a mirror.
The man steps down to the water's edge to bathe his tired body and drink of the clear,refreshing liquid and as he does, he sees the reflection of a great grizzly bear in the lake, the man jumps back, astonished, and looks around for the bear, but he is alone, there is no bear near the lake. Once again the man approaches the water, only to be met by the reflection of the bear for the second time! and once more he turns around to look and sees nothing... The third time he goes down to the lake the man sees the reflection of the bear yet again, but this time he realises... He is not a man, after all. Giro Semi MX Post a comment |

Got your review 'in print' then, Rob. Well done - concise and lacking in information. Perfect CF review.

the dude was a freakin' bear that thought he were a dude...or was it a dude that thought he was a far-out bear?

Maybe the man had no clothes on at all thus realizing that he was bare and due to pronunciation and the vagueries of the English language went a bit mental.

Duncan,
canadian grizzly bears do not take kindly to UK muddy conditions, although some folk claim to have seen a shaven bear riding a heckler with a strange looking fork on the fire roads of Dorking...
Prawn,
No, you just have to wait for six months, then you'll see. Best not to though, it's not a pretty sight.

oh my god, no wonder. The GF calls me a big bear when I wear my MX and full body armour whilst charging around the bedroom waving my magic wand!

When you fall in a bog, the Mx helmet drains slowly due to the lack of vents. It is good for panning for gold, or through your own logs if you managed to swallow your lock key. You Canadiuns can buy UK mud off us welsh nobs at extortionate import prices if you wants.....
