Old school ride

[Cormanus]

Great post, Ferret. When I started riding my 3/4 helmet had no shield. I did have a pair of goggles that I wore only when it was raining. Occasionally I might have worn sun glasses. I remember getting a shield and having to attach the male end of the fittings to the helmet myself. It was such luxury!

Funny thing is I don't remember being assaulted by bugs the way I am these days. Maybe they hadn't been invented then? I can't imagine riding without a visor now; it would be too painful.

On a slightly unrelated matter, for a man who is wont to describe himself as careful with his funds, the Ferret has the most remarkable collection of motorcycle gear. It remind me a bit of Imelda Marcos's shoe collection.
