Bin Lid
– I’ve been using the flip up Shoei Multitec helmet for a little while. Mostly comfortable apart for the occasional pressure point on my forehead hairline. The integrated Sena Bluetooth headset is handy for chatting with other riders as well as the phone, music or podcasts.

Country Lane
– I had to go and visit a new project site today. So I took the Tiger for a spin up Sheridan Road along the Lake. Turning off a small lane took me through a quiet corner of the northern suburbs in true rustic fashion. The overcast sky and splash of rain only enhanced the turning colors.
