It's so much cooler here this evening since our storm hit at 5 today. For most of the day I was working from home in just my under crackers, all the windows open, fans on full blast and copious bottles of water full of iced water were consumed. I was still too flippin' hot!

Hope y'all get a storm to clear the air soon if you've not yet had one.

Pretty good thanks. Had a bit of nightshift overtime lately, so been able to pay off some debts and buy a few toys I've been after for a while. Got a new helmet today. Just loving being out on the bike just now

Got my eyes on these beauties next since my aprilia mirror has gone all floppy

They're very tidy! Should look good on the Aprilia.

I shall be shopping for a new helmet shortly, once I've saved up a bit more. Probably going to splash out on a Shoei for the oval shape. Won't know for certain though till I've tried a few on.

I've never had a Shoei. Not sure if they fit my head shape.

I went back to Shuberth. Went for a quick blast tonight and it feels great. Doesn't seem to lift at speed as much as my old one.
