Sorry~

It's all good. I have a lot of fun here w/ 99.9 % of everyone.

It's all a love thing. Someone always has to get slaped in a group of kids so ooo. I'll take the slap for you all.

Now i'm gonna jack for one second... GET ALL of the dealers we used involved with helping the forum. If we all CAL anywhere, and mentio the Discount" for the forum. They MIGHT pay attention to the ten second email linking the dealer to us with a discount...

This forum is Skads! He leaves us alone, and lok at the groups of people that have teamed up for fun. FUN!

We can pull A LOT business 's together, and save THOUSANDS of $$$.
I promise you I have done that by my self. Make yourself a dealer with these sites we all prefer! Use the keyboard to set it all up in half hr at the most? 5 minuets if you type with more than 4 fingers?

That was funny...

Sorry for the jack. Really.

I'm gonna copy/paste this because it is going to be my Standard jack till we get 5 new dealler account type arrangements.

SKAD!!! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I Love you most of all!!!!!!!! 8)

I wear full face, it has plenty of ventilation so I'm cool (well, not 'cool', I'm about the furthest away from 'cool' that you can be, and still be breathing) on hot summer days.  I also wear a doo rag to help when it is hot, because even with ventilation you will sweat some.  And when it gets colder I just close the vents.

Let me ask.

I wear a full face and the visor fogs up a bit. Is it ok to part the visor ever so slightly to get better air flow in. This is for a 50cc going 40 MP. I'm sure we have various speeds in this thread.

As it stands now, after only 2 months, my visor is riddled with bug and bits and particle hits.

I went for a test ride just around the block last night with just glasses on and it sucked. Since I've wore a helmet from day 1 (march 7, 2014) it just doesn't feel right.

Yeah from time to time I'll take a short ride after tinkering with the motor to hear what's happening and it feels strange.

Back in the day when there were less important things in my head I loved it. Wind in the hair, ahh hair I remember that, and bugs in the teeth. Life was simple.

Now I feel naked if I skip the gloves.

In town I almost always have the visor up one notch for ventiolation. The only time I have it all the way down is on the freeway.

I only notch it up 1 click to get rid of fogging and then it's back down again. Read a post on here one time about a bee getting through the crack of a helmet and what a nightmare that was. Figured I'd probably wreck myself if that happened to me so the only time I open it it fully is at stoplights while I'm waiting.

I fill my helmet w/ mahogany wasps, and run straight for the bar. By the time I get there everyone says... "Wow, You look like you can use a drink"

Free drinks!

Just kidding... I don't own a helmet. The dogs ate it. Not kidding.
