Lost my prescription Oakley's going up an on ramp. Blew right off my face when I turned my head to check for merging traffic.

Bought a set of "Chums" to keep the $20 pair of cheapy ballistic sunglasses on my face that same day.

Lost a helmet once. Stopped at a turnout along a back road where we sometimes stop to take a break. One of those days that are bright and sunny but cold so I unbuckled helmet but did not take it off. we jumped on our bikes and ripped outta there and said helmet went airborne. its now a conversation piece
