I've tried a lot of helmets also and agree that fit is most important. My current helmet is a german version (called the Bandit) of the Simpson Outlaw... http://www.simpsonraceproducts.com/product...78&prod_id=2475 For my wife, we tried at least 30 different models/makes and ended up with the Aria for $750. Though she hated the price at the time, now she swears it was worth it.

the eagle and name look good on the tank. On another subject, I have 2002 Scura with the red plate on the side and would like matching valve covers (red anodized aluminum?) Yours look good but might be a different shade. Can you direct me on how to acquire some matching covers? thx sorry, didnt see the other responses, now I know the answer. thx anyway.

Full Throttle Productions movie Road Rage II and Bonus: The World's Greatest Road Race Crashes is out on video. There is nothing like seeing the young bucks out there doing the latest and craziest. Though the old farts sit around scoffing, I can almost bet that when they were younger, they survived a few stupid things they did. Progress for the sake of it? So lets go ride our bikes like snowboards, only to get up and do it again!

I f you make it from Moab Utah, down to Bryce Canyon, you might want to go on south to Kanab City. That is the gate to Zion National Park (the crazy lady scene in Jeramiah Johnson was filmed there), which is a great place to visit http://www.nps.gov/zion/ You can also make the north rim of the grand canyon from there. You can head west from there to Hurricane city which will lead you into Nevada http://atlas.utah.gov/wildlife/viewer.htm Little known fact is that halfway between Kanab and Hurricane is Colorado City Utah/Arizona, which is the Mormon town of polygamists. Notice all the homes there are large 3 story with enough rooms for the 5 wives and the kids. If you go into town, they don't talk much but they stare a lot. Know you'll have a great time, and post us some pics since not all of us get out west as much as we should.

I checked out the link above "homepage" and could not get through. So I took our 2 of the slashes in the URL and it worked.

nice comments on the engineering of sound, analogue vs. digital. I find it interesting the the Chairman/President of Sony Corp. said upon the release of SACD (Super Audio Compact Disc, which blows away the CD), that we (the industry) think we finally have a product that can compete with analogue (vinyl, DAT,etc.). Apparently, the manufacturers of CD's knew they had an inferior sounding product and just buffalo'd the public to where the public chants the mantra. But in any event, I see analogue buffs as I see Guzzi enthusiasts, both are in a pursuit for the perfect experience! The Sacred, the Sublime, the..."words can't express it"....

just tought I would pass on this info... I just purchased a Scura with 5000 mi on it. While shopping, I found one at http://www.epfguzzi.com/ which had 2000mi on it, asking $9500 and I found another one which had 4 miles on it, asking $10300 at http://www.unioncyclenc.com/Guzzi.asp All 3 had time left on the warranty, especially the one with 4 mi. on it. Also, I am shipping the one I bought from San Antonio, TX to St. Augustine, FL with JC Motors .. http://www.jcmotors.com/contactusshipping.html .. and it cost me around $640 (admittedly, I didn't shop around and fuel charges have risen sharply). Good luck with your search, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did mine.
