For Most of My Bikeing Life I have always Worn a Open Faced Helmet & Fitted a Tri Screen to My Bikes...
Q: Why? I am often asked do I (Spoil) Fit a Screen to your Bike?..
A: So I do not spoil the taste of my My beer , I reply !
Rain in the Mouth ain't Bad But a Jasper (A Big Bug) you can taste the Grass........
And I would Love to Know what them (Bullets) Insects are That Hit your Helmet enough to let off a Crack and shift your Head... Kamikaze Bug's
Ho Well the Joy's Of Bikeing
