Kind of a bummer that people think safety aids are an indication of poor riding skills, isn't it?
I'm an idiot. Apparently my exploring how much the total would be (minus VAT, plus shipping) did result in an order. I just got an email confirmation...Oh well. Looks like I got one coming my way.
I'll update once I get it...
Haha, is this what you tell your OH? "I was just checking shipping and accidentally bought it". I like your style!
