As I have said on many occasions, motorcycle friends are the best friends. This morning the courier delivered my new Vision R visor. Posted last Thursday in Darwin, delivered today, pretty impressive, eh? And, included in the parcel, a packet of … [Read more]
Progress?
Please allow me to get up on the soapbox a little today. Above is the (scratched) visor from my Shark Vision R helmet. I have been looking for a new visor for it for some months and every lead that I have followed has been a dead-end. It seems that, … [Read more]
