helmet road test

[Jud]

I use Radians, wrap-around shades with bifocal inserts, about $12 from the manufacturer. So, they don't look as cool as my 52mm AO or Randolph pilot shades, but I can read my GPS without stopping for reading glasses. The clear ones make nice shooting glasses.

It is not like riding with a regular Motocross type helmet. 80 mph is not problem especially if you kind of keep your head sorta down. The Arai may be better for that but too early to say. The guy that sold me the Arai said it s good for 100 mph. I think you might like the visor in early or late day sun. Me I am sold on the visor concept plus the inner button operated dark visor on the Bilt I think I am gonna love. > > > > Criswell > > > > Sent from my iPad > > > > On Nov 1, 2012, at 5:44 PM, mark ward wrote: > > > > > SHUT UP!!..............Bragging about 80"s, It been 38-40 all day here.
