I've done all the usual stoopid things like riding off with the side stand down, faffing around trying to start a bike when the kill switch is off and kicking bikes half to death with the tap on main, forgetting it'd run onto reserve on the last trip, but I don't think I've ever forgotten the chin strap...

I can't believe this, but I've just done this myself! Been out for a brisk(ish) run on the Arrow, popped into the newsagent to pay the delivery bill during which I undid the helmet but left it on for some reason, then jumped back on the bike and set off home. I'd only gone 20 yards when I realised something didn't feel right.......
