good lord that made me laugh

Last night when i got home, there was a mysterious package waiting for me on my doorstep.

My wife was with me and thought it was odd that I ordered a box of tea! I knew immediately that it wasn't tea in that box. Mickey, true to form, had come through as promised. I like to think that everyone who gets packages from the ferret, does so in appropriately sized tea boxes.

A nice note accompanied the goggles. The self-portrait brought a big smile to my face.

I'm not sure if I can pull these off but I'm going to give it a go. The particular strap on these is only long enough to be worn under the helmet. That works fine with my Biltwell Bonanza 3/4 helmet but I'll need a replacement strap to wear it with my Biltwell Gringo.

The Gringo helmet itself is great. Very comfortable. I've worn two different types of sunglasses with the helmet and at highway speeds, the air is just too much. My eyes watered and it was unpleasant. I need to either find a pair of goggles that work well or put a shield on the helmet.

I'm confident I'll be able to make these goggles work. Thank you ferret! I appreciate your generosity!

I just KNEW you looked familiar!

Haha! Fantastic! And spot on!

Brilliant, MG.

Chapomis, I'm afraid so.

Great helmet Grover. How are your ears holding up? I've gotten better at getting my Bullitt on and off but it still gets me.

It's gotten a little better as the padding has broken in but it's still rough getting it on...ears - a small price to pay for looking f#*£ing awesome!

MG, let's see the goggles in combo with the lid!

Schubert C3 and an Ikon Alliance hi-viz. I was looking at the C3 all winter and found this one for a nice discount. The Ikon I picked up at Cycle Gear for $80 and will wear it around town during tourist season with the hi-viz mesh jacket also from Cycle Gear.

This is my old Vega. Piece of junk, but I like the color

I know this is suppose to be lids only but I thought I'd show these too. The liners were $15 at Cycle Gear, regularly $40 and my little tank bag.

Very smart, Nemo.

Went Retro with the Bitwell Gringo S. I found a local Bay Areas shop that had them in stock so I was able to try them on. Happy with it so far.
