Funny "Blond" moment!!!

[brookwest]

So exciting, first long trip planned(150mi)with a friend. We get geared up, and gassed up, and hit the road. When we finally get up to speed, (about 55), I hear this horribly loud bap, bap, bap, bap! and am like WTF!!! I decelerate and it stops, accelerate and it starts in again. So I get my friend to pull over, and ask him if he heard the noise, and he said no, but he's willing to take my bike for a spin to see if he could hear it. So he comes back in a minute and says he didn't hear anything, and that we're good to go. I hop back on, get her up to speed again, and bap, bap, bap! starts making the sound again!!!! I realized it was the chin strap on my helmet, flapping against it!!!! Boy we had a good laugh about that!!! Had a great trip!!! I was amazed at how much I learned going with an experienced rider! (one I will add, that was content to ride WITH me, at my speed, and make suggestions to me as we went!)
