I guess if ya forget yer sunscreen it'll keep ya from bein a redneck.
I have a hat that Katie "Kookaburra" from OZ gave me over two years ago at Fred's meet, I wear this hat EVERY day - backwards! Tell ya what, every other hat I've ever had never held together like this one has. The only problem is, it's got "Australia" stitched on the back (my "front") so people I talk to are always asking if I'm from OZ - guess my St. Louis accent isn't a dead giveaway.
Edit......
Doug, good point about the wind while riding but you should be wearing a helmet. I usually take my hat off when I skate so the breeze keeps my head dry - yep I'm a hypocrate.
Hmm... I think we need a new thread....

My brother in law, raised on a farm, helped me install a sign about 20 years ago. When we got accosted by a wasp, he whipped off his feed store “gimme” cap and nailed that critter before it could nail us. He turned to me and said: “That’s what these caps are for!” He wears his bill forward–easier to grab for those emergency uses. Roger, you just added a new product line: Rapid Swat!

good point back-at-ya Mike... & a hat worn backwards fits better under a helmet too!! (BTW, it's mountain bike "riding" I'm referring to... a helmet is still a good idea, but not quite as essential as on a motorcycle IMO)

Just opened the box Roger. Thanks for the hat! Bill has it on as we speak. AND nice job, whoever did the stitching.

Thanks Roger, It's a great looking hat. I'm going to have to get used to not wearing my "old fart from Florida" hat, as my son calls it.

Yep, it's a nice, sturdy hat!
When I wear the hat that Katie "Kookabura" from OZ gave me, people ask me if I'm from Australia cause it has "Australia" stitched on it. We'll see if anyone comments about the Rapid logo now.

Roger, I got mine yesterday also. That's one find piece of headgear! I hope it's guaranteed to help me catch more fish too. Hey, anyone use RT for fish lure scent?

Us who are unfortunately outside the gift area would like this post to be stopped as we can't have a hat even though we use the product.
STOP THIS POST NOW THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
