greetings from the land of aprilia.. !
thought I'd check in again... nice hooters section btw.. good to see you're all maintaining a perky cylinder attitude.
I bought the Arai SZ as an alternate to my full face Arai. As a visually challenged (must have been the long hours in the hooters thread) person I find taking off and replacing my glasses a pain.. and the Arai SZ works wonderfully..
Noisy? not too bad.. but then again I'm going deaf..
Field of vision? Fabulous... I can see things out of the corner of my eye that were impossible with the full face ... ie. cell phone toting mama's in Nissan Armadas...
oh.. spent 3 wks in London/Kent.. Paris.. Florence.. 20th anniversary and all that.. wonderful. each place was great. .. UK and Europe are fabulous.. warm people.. great food .. really really good wine !!!!!! but I had to wait until Florence to hear and see a Tuono blasting down a side street with the exhaust reverberating off the buildings.. ah. italy...
everywhere else it was MEGA SCOOTERS !!!! ;-)
cheers, Tim
I've ridden much of that route, and it will be hot. Camelbacks are a good idea. When I did one of those "1000 miles in 24 hour" rides, I was filling up a 2 liter camelback everytime I filled up the tank on my Concours.
