Oooh, I like it! Go new helmet shopping while casually wearing clothes that expose your lovely road rash, then you can tell the crash story.
(I always ask when I see boo-boos on folks at my LBS. So I'm the perfect boo-boo audience.)

Yes a new helmet, and I don't think it's strange at all to be proud of your crash. To bad someone didn't get action shots for you.
I'm glad you are okay and came out basically unscathed.Donna

Make sure you tell the LBS guys it's to replace one from a crash. I bought a new helmet today after my crash Thursday. (See my thread - I immediately shared my crash with other riders here!)
Anyway - at my LBS they do a 10% discount on the ticket price if you've had a crash & are replacing your helmet. I'm impressed with that on their behalf. You might just get the same deal if you mention it.
