Is it cos I is getting on?

Just got my self a bike with plastic on it, stupid move probably.
I knew my neck was not as flexible as when I was a young rapscallion,
as I can’t look behind me and have to have mirrors.

But riding plastic fantastic I am making like a tortoise and trying to look forwards, then my collar is pushing the lid over my eyes. I even bought a full face lid figuring my open face lid must be lower at the front, it’s not.
