To helmet or not too helmet?

[Hugh]

Best feeling in the word is to drive out on a summers day with just the sun glasses t-shirt shorts and no screen in front of you. But dont decide to drive home in the dark as i did last year as you cant see in sun glasses. Helmets are for bad weather days or going fast. I have to say that a bike engine at 10,000 revs and no helmet is just the dogggs!

I agree with all of that

Yes, you being over 50 have trouble breathing anyway

I presume you have a windscreen as I used to have that problem in my Tiger without side screens, not such problem without a screen just flies at 50MPH hitting you in the face tend to hurt!!

I know some have made perspex wind deflectors which I have been told make a difference but look a bit knaff

[Ben_Copeland]

I dont have anything....

its the wall of air straight in your face that does it.

Ben,

if i take the doors off the caterham witht he screen still on anything over 60 does tend to need a certain breathing pattern

The aerodynamics of the Fury (with a windscreen) mean that there is a 4" dia cylinder of air hits you in the face while going along. This is refreshing - except when it's raining, when with each stroke of the wipers, 1/2 cup of water is dumped into this "slipstream" at which point it becomes rather more refreshing than I'd ideally want.

You won't be surprised to hear that I've made up a pair of deflectors.
