CB1100 Monthly Photo Challenge

[Gone in 60]

I don't know if Mom has ever held reservations about me riding, but she's always expressed support for it. In fact, the last time I had to leave a bike in her garage for a while, she had put a sheet over it and sent me a picture, to show me that it was safe and covered so it would stay clean.

That just tells me you had a mother that recognized something that brought you joy and was able to use that joy as a way to connect with you. That tells me you had an empathetic mother who loved you. You are truly fortunate!

Also, how is the wind noise on the freeway with that helmet?

The helmet isn't really any louder than the more modern Scorpions I normally wear. It doesn't have any vents or doodads that stick out from it, and I haven't added a camera mount to it - just wouldn't be right on something like this. Part of it's "charm" is that the face shield has detents to keep it cracked open just a tad, but at any road speed, it snaps shut. But, with the chrome trim surrounding the face opening, the shield doesn't make a tight seal against the helmet, so there's plenty of ventilation when shut. 

Not bad for something that I only wear for tweed-and-curly mustache occaisions.
