Well spotted, but unfortunately the last of the Christmas money and what I didn't spend on the 535d insurance and tax because I sold it has just gone on (after reading all the comments on here) an MRA Vario touring screen in an attempt to get the salty crap blown over my head, and a new pair of Daytona Road Stars to keep the water out of my feet after my 5 years old and something around 75000 mile including saving my feet in a collision Daytona Gators starting letting in water. Oh and a new Arai visor after the last one got trashed in about 3 months. Reminds me the Arai is 5 years old now so will need replacing too, and I was thinking of a set of textiles, oh and the thumb screen wipe is coming unstitched on those Merlin gloves so that'll be another set soon. Retirement? Hah thought I couldn't stop till the mortgage was paid but ....

Ah yes, the good old thumb screen wipe. Who's great idea was that I wonder. I sliced mine off with a Stanley knife as it kept flicking on the hazards. Useless!   :-\

Never managed to catch the screenwipe myself, and its kept me seeing where I'm going the last few months
Anyway, 76002 on a bleak M40 at Banbury this morning. I realized the funny colour in my mirrors was blue sky behind me, its a funny sensation riding in daylight, and eventually on the streaming wet and spray bound roads South of Newbury, the sun came out. Roll on Spring

Whilst returning from a blip over to Essex for work I decided to take the south side of the m25, not to enjoy the miles of obligatory filtering but so I could go and look at motolegends near Guildford. Spent couple of hours with very helpful staff and got to £2500 of stuff. Of course you can do this interest free over 3 year etc.  Now having a lie down and trying to decide what I really need. Regardless of what I actually buy I now know my size in various clothing and things, and my head is shoei shaped not Schuberth, and my daytonas are beyond repair. Definitely worth the visit.

The lengths some folks go to, the M bloody 25. Mind, they have a cracking reputation and are very good to deal with in person as well as on the interweb thingy.

Quite a rare book. V nice.
I went to try and buy one - it's not obvious how, since they've sold out.
I think they're printing 'standard' edition.

Baptism of fire for new boots and screen today, 378 miles. Except it didn't really rain, just a smattering in London. Roads still covered in crap mind




Still fiddling with best position. Bigger screen definitely make a difference, but its noisy. Tried the aerofoil in every position but not sure of best compromise. It was also very windy today which made it a little more difficult to judge

Don't know if it was the same screen though.

Pretty sure  it was this MRA screen - given the curvature upside down would be feasible but not inside out!
