The first rider looks to have a Kagayama replica helmet.

"All the suspects were wearing dark clothing and helmets with

That'll narrow the search down.

I shouldn't laugh but i expect everyone in the UK wearing a helmet and dark clothing will have to remember where they were on the day in question. When that lunatic in the States shot up the cinema i got looked at very suspiciously whilst trying to go to the cinema, and my wife had her bag searched. WTF?
Knee jerk or what?   :eek
