I tried eBay...found a sweet Spec 1 R gamble...but it wasn't prepared to buy just yet. Suomy's don't get quite the deals on eBay...at least not that I've seen.

Thumbs up On Bike Review!

Took the Buell out today. It was the first time since I low sided a few weeks ago. The last of the parts came in on Friday...installed yesterday...ride today.

This was also the first time I've had a chance to wear the new helmet on the bike.


I'm VERY impressed. This Suomy is INSANELY comfortable. Feels great. Air flow is EXCELLENT. With great air flow comes noise. This helmet is no exception. It's not bad when looking straight ahead. But when I turn my head I hear some whistling through the vents. No big deal really. I really like the air flow across the top of the head. In warm weather it'll feel great.

Now, I stopped and closed all the vents. Once moving again, the airflow was still substantial. I could still feel air going through the helmet...but the noise was gone.

Overall, I love the new lid. It feels great. It's well ventilated and weighs next to nothing. Love it.
