I don't understand this obsession with tail tidies.

Obviously not people who have ever ridden in rain or even on wet roads.

So the Grom got picked up today to go to Honda East Rand for quote/repairs. Here's hoping it won't take too long.

On that note, I've never owned an off road helmet before but thinking of getting something like the Bell SX1 + goggles. Anybody have experience with these for normal road travel/commuting? For higher speeds I've got my Shark which is more aerodynamic.

Why go the goggles route?

Get the adventure version that has a peak and visor.

Well it is something different than a visor which I already have. In summer the extra airflow could actually be nice

How do you reckon more airflow?

The goggles seal around your eyes.

And everything else is a hell of a lot more noisy.

Well your eyes are covered, but the rest of your face not so much (depending on helmet of course). You have a meshed intake at the front.

I get the noise issue at speed and like I said, for that I've got a proper road helmet. But "slow" town speeds on the grom, might be worth it.
 
Lot of money to spend for very little benefit in my eyes.

But that's just me.

I don't know anyone who has ever been happy with an MX helmet on the road.

In fact everyone I know with one never uses it on the road any more.
 
Hmmm, well I'll play with the idea for another month or so and see how I feel about it then. You make a good point though, "expensive mistake" to make.

Maybe you are lucky enough to get a shop that will let you demo the experience.
 
It's D-day people.

Up at the crack of dawn and trekking across the country, but it's worth it.
 
I am so glad I have a rain suit today. sure it took forever to get out the house, and to get to a point where I was out of my gear in the office, but its so freaking worth it!

I really goto get one... Which one do you have? Luckily I am sometimes allowed to work from home. It was pouring in Centurion...
 
@markbdaniels I have no idea. I got one that fit over my normal gear.

@skeptic_SA why you selling? not getting the time for it anymore?

Yep. Breaks my heart seeing her standing there every day. Honestly just don't get the time to ride her anymore. Not looking to make bank on her. Will let her go for R10K less than similar models available from dealers.
 
Yeah you okes aren't kidding. It was a rough flight up here with turbulence from start to finish.

Fortunately Nelspruit looks better.
