Perhaps a couple more left arms might be useful then?

A few years either side of '90, I owned a helmet only because you
couldn't do organized rides without one. I didn't wear it much unless I
had to - it felt heavy and hot and I was immortal anyway.

;-)

But for a couple of years running, every second time I put it on to JRA
I had an accident, whereas I -never- did without it.

It must have been a curse upon that particular helmet though. I've now
owned three more helmets, and worn them a lot, and I've only had one
accident.

Coincidence?

If you were ambidextrous, you could save TWO heads next time.
