Following on from my thread of a couple of weeks ago about buying a Colin Edwards Arai helmet, I now only had 2 helemts in an eBay watch list which I've had going for years, a Steve Hislop and Nori Haga "Monza" replica. I thought "I'm safe for a while, it took me years to find the Edwards Laguna Seca, these 2 helmets never get listed in my size and mint condition" ...........................A "Hizzy" appeared the same day. "Bollocks" Never mind, all is not lost, it's probably a dog of a helmet, but I must make sure, you understand. I contact the seller for info and more pictures. He's worn it twice, it's mint inside and out, with only 2 very, very minor marks on the rear where he caught it against his house wall. How do I get out of this? ...............Right, I'm down that there London when the auction ends, I'll put Bidmate on the case with a bid far less than I've seen these go for in the past. I can't bid on it as I'm not near the computer, so can't get suckered in, and my bid is low(ish). That should do the trick ..................I won it by £8 more than the next bidder at the weekend. Bugger! It arrived today and is a minter. The silver cloud is, only one in my watch list now. Oh, and the Hizzy is a thing of beauty. Shelves re-arranged to put Joey and Hizzy together. Now where does Schwantz go?
