No kiddin'. Hair wont do you any good if you have to pick it out of the asphalt to get it back.
I remember my last wipeout about 15 years ago. The reason I remember it so vividly is because I ended up with a scab from the top of my chest down to just below my belly button. Too much adrenaline to feel it that day but the next day, and for weeks after, it hurt like hell. Ruined my favorite flannel shirt too.
It was only luck that I body boarded on that asphalt and didn't do a face plant. A helmet, as ugly as they are will save your life. If you ride long enough, you WILL have an accident. Maybe you'll be lucky as I was... maybe not.
Grats on the good deal and grats on wanting to get back in shape. Show us a pic when you get your new helmet. lol
