Stax Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 This morning I put my rucksack and lid (Arai Astro-R) on the floor while I wheeled out the bike and turned the engine over. I didn't realise that the lid was sitting on part of the bag straps until I picked the bag up and the lid rolled around a bit, glancing a brick wall. I wasn't worried at the time, as I hadn't dropped it or anything and it just rolled around. However, putting the lid on this evening at work, I noticed a scrape on the top of the lid. Its only small, about 3mm long, maybe 1mm across, but its gone through the paint - so I'm guessing its scratched the outer shell. Should I be worried about it? My first thought was that it was just a scratch, but I thought I should ask around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I'll second that. You can never be too sure and it's your own life that maybe at stake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
