A real issue - should Billy get a new lid?
Okay, so the saviour to all our causes, Joe - Itching2Go, has offered me a good price on the following XR1000 lid:
<P align=center>  </P>My current lid, a Shoei Raid is a good lid, but after a couple of years of constant use is getting a little tatty. It doesn't fit as well as it used to, and though it's not heavy, it's a lot heavier than the XR1000. There aren't many XR1000 patterns that I like, which is a shame, as it's a great lid. However, the Kagayama rep is a nice bit of kit. This red version is the TC1, while the one we see on the track is a the TC2 (in blue). I think the red is much more my colour!   So... what do you think? Should I be a tart and consider it at the end of this month? Or should I pick a different one? Or should I just not bother!

Nice helmet. I have an XR1000 which Im very happy with. My only concern is that the style police may not like red lid, blue bike.....

However... the plan, following last years imposed familiarity with the tarmac, is to give the bike some new clothes in a very similar flavour red to the lid above. It's just a case of a) finding the time, b) getting the paint and equipment sorted and c) being without the bike for a few days/week or so. Anyway... I couldn't buy a tart's lid, and not keep within the laws set out by the style police, could I?
