Bin Lid

Visor View

– 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.

Cats Eyes

Most Illuminating

The Big Kitty got a pair of auxiliary lights affixed to it today. Added brightness down the road ahead and better conspicuousness in traffic.

Mayhem | This is what can happen if you drive around with a cat on your head. It may startle, dug it’s claws into your scalp, causing you to careen across the road and the ongoing calamity spreads to all other roadway and path users. Remember: don’t drive around with a cat on your head, no matter how cool you might think it seems!

Peaky Blinder

Shady Dealings | the new helmet with internal tinted visor came in handy during the weekend jaunt under the lowering autumn sun. The Bluetooth headset connected to my iPhone music was an added touch.
