I'd be VERY interested is seeing some pics. I like looking at the old mods and rockers days. It reminds me of far better days. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
Thanks to all for the responses. Glad I'm not in my dotage yet, although the signs are there. And in Leeds (where I used to live in the 60s) it were definitely 't mods who war wearing em. Rockers had quiffs 'n' brylcreem or pisspot racing lids and proper Stadium goggles. -- Rich ============================== 2001 Disco II ES auto 1971 S2a 88" petrol 2005 XT660R Take out the obvious to email me.

I used to wear one when commuting in London in the rain on a Norton Commando. It did make you look like a dork, but this was offset by what fantastically clear vision it gave you in the rain. It was as though there was no visor at all, even in the filthiest rain, an excellent advantage on dark rainy nights. Quite astonishing clarity. It worked so well that when I wore out the central baring I bought another. But annoyingly whizzy, gyroscopic, and wind catching at speeds in excess of 50ish mph and probably dangerous at 60+. So amazingly good for seeing clearly on dark rainy nights in city streets I'd go out and buy two immediately if they were still made.
