wow that does look sharp. I like that Blue. I can't get one because my windscreen has to stay as I cannot get another White Rabbit sticker, and I WON'T part with that sticker unless I absolutely have to.

I'll have to check that sticker out next time I see you. I didn't notice it before. hehe

Also, another consideration regarding the bobblehead and buffeting effect, I have recently read somewhere that certain helmets aren't rated for speed, while others are. IIRC, the new Shoei and Arai lids are rated at 200mph, while some of the others are only rated at 100mph. True, you won't be going that fast, bit the design smooths the airstream. Also, this may or may not be a fact, as I said I heard it somewhere.

Well the helmet I have is a racing helmet so I'd be very surprised if it couldn't handle high speeds ;-)
Here's a snipet of the info on the helmet I have:
VR2 - Mirage
Professional Racing Helmet
KBCs top of the range Professional Racing Helmet. Designed specifically for Ultra high performance race use. The Mirage (VR2) is a totally race specific product. KBC believe a truly race specific helmet should be the minimum overall size and dimensions, with minimum projected extrusions which can interfere with the aerodynamic stability and helmet turbulence at Ultra high speeds. The helmet should be a smaller tighter closer fitment, when compared with normal street helmets, this allows the riders to "Tuck" under the screen, and allow fast and effective head turning over the shoulder with minimum head and neck strain.
