Dan,
Thanks for the advice & concern. It is appreciated. Believe me,, I know what you mean. I rode a motorcycle in Chicago for about 10 years and know all about those crazy people out there and the ones who pay no attention at all to motorcycles, scooters and bicycles. I finally got fed up after a few near misses in about 1 week, and regetfully sold my motorcycle. I said I'd by a new one when I moved up here in the middle of nowhere,, but can't afford one at the moment. And the motor for the bike was a very cheap solution

But I do also have to watch out for deer,, these motors scare the crap out of them

Sorry to read Apache. Must be a truly ruff time. If you ever need to yell, vent, ramble or scream. Know you got friends here Buddy.

I got my plain jane helmet at Good Will for a few bucks... charcoal gray and ordered a pair of Indian Motorcycle gas tank decals to go on each side. Looks good, but the decals cost more than the helmet.
Dan, I like those goggles. Are they part of the helmet? Where'd you find those? They have that early motorcycle look. I am beginning to feel a stirring need for goggles... must have goggles... Help...

Yea Dan, is that one of those ebay Vespa helmets? I've been really eyeing those.

Those goggles came with the helmet. Really cool thing about them is are not rigid and easily conform to the shape of your head with nice padding. Most comfortable goggles I have ever tried. Also has a winter neck thing that zips on and off. The materials are kinda cheap but really well designed. They do sell them separately but with the helmet are 18 bucks and shipping is $30. There are a couple on ebay that have em.

Yeppers Kev, Same as the Vespa (I think. Look the same anyway) Can't remember who I bought mine from but don't think it was from them.

do like the little rascals and tie a strainer to your head with a piece of string . all the little holes are great for keeping your head cool in the summer
