Default It's Sunny

Ok the sun is shinning here in Wigan (I work in Wigan) I'm hopeful that it is the same in St Annes...

yes that big yellow thing made my little bimble out yesterday afternoon somewhat unpleasant. You know as you approach a series of bends that you are going to be into the sun and therefore drop the revs and inch round the corner. Not nice.

I really must invest in a helmet with a decent visor system so that it is not a pain in the backside to switch between clear and darkest dark.

Have to warn that the Caberg V2 has problems with the venting and blows a jet of air directly at your eyes & brow.

Bought the lid in May and thru the summer this has been OK, except for drying the contact lenses too much sometimes.

I'm thinking I'm going to have to buy a better sealed lid for winter though, as that jet of air is getting pretty cold and will soon be giving me an ice cream headache across my brow.

Someone on here suggested it comes in from under the chin and a helmet skirt might stop it, but I haven't got round to buying one and trying it yet.

Its quite a noisy lid too, but I wear earplugs anyway.

The visor system is fantastic though, so I don't regret buying it for summer use, for the price its a great lid with fully removable linings. Unfortunately its the low winter sun when you really need the visor.

Shuberth S1? If you can spare the dough. Matthelooney will tell you what its like. http://forums.sv650.org/viewtopic.php?t=42215

Well I went along, quite a few bikes turned out.

Spotted a Blue pointy sv650s and a Silver pointy sv1000s, anyone?
