Thats is the only prob with some of those flip front lids is that they are not as strong as normal full face and a knock can open them as your's did huh.gif

Wots the rest of your lid like??

Glad you didn't get any gravel rash on your face rolleyes.gif

But very clever of you to make TRiXy end up on her stand clapping.gif I've never managed that in any of my chucking it up the road sessions yeahyeahyeah.gif

Best I've managed is stood up on back wheel with against a tree yahoo.gif

by the time i had run back he was up & about and had removed the lid, so i didnt see it until near the end dry.gif
i did a few checks (i'm FAW,FPOS trained), made sure he could breathe, see straight, move around without crying in pain etc and then went to sort trixy
i must admit if i had seen the state of the lid straight away i wouldnt have let him get up, it would have been ambulance jobbie cuckoo.gif

when i binned my last caberg justissimo i destruction tested the flip up by stamping on it badgrock.gif
the top of the lid smashed before the flip front came loose huh.gif

It was a Takachi TK-85N, not the best on the market I know - but did it's job. I have ordered a Caberg Justissimo GT lid today as my replacement.

Trouble is he only polishes half in an vain attempt to shame people in to cleaning the other side. What he hasn't yet realised though is that every time Tony goes round there he parks facing the other way from the last time laugh.gif
