Keith Hollien:
I was 43 at the start of the season(now 44) and I am not as athletic as I once was.
if i had a dime for every guy older and faster than me that said that, i would be kicking Bill Gate a$s.

i am designing a plastic piece that will make any helmet more aerodinamic.
it will detach or flex in case of collision and also it will be used when u want it or not, but also it will be strong enough to support the wind pressure.

i dont use/have autocad so its taking some time.

Jack, i said the same thing, its pretty annoying the fights and argues between the "community" (common-unity).
