Once again I’m smitten with an inanimate object. As soon as I entered Moto Central (www.RubyHelmets.co.uk) in Hinckley I saw the Ruby helmets and had to have one.

I’m hardly at the address I gave. All they need do is follow me on Gowalla and they’ll know where I am with pinpoint accuracy, in [...]
