Dude its bad enough that a-holes in cages are on the cell but to use it while on the scoot. You need to learn the reason to ride is to get away not bring it all with you. If you are worrying about the call you aren't watching what is happening around you. I'd hate to see your name in the obituaries. 
Ok-Ok.. point taken. Was just curious. I took a ride on a dresser the other day and the tunes were nice. Riding is a nice get-away, but dude, u wanna talk about boring riding here... LOL. Either way I go, I can ride for an hour without seeing another vehicle, or anything else. Nothing but field after field. After a while, the corn all looks the same... LOL. No hills, no valleys, nuttin. On the good side, very few cages..

I wear a Drifter, and find it looks better and handles the wind a lot better if you keep the ear covers on. That said, the sail effect starting to get a little annoying at anything over 50 mph, the more I break it in. I tried ordering a Bell 500 to replace it, but everywhere seems out of stock.

Sorry for the delay on the review. I just got back from Caddo Lake, TX. The helmet was waiting for me when we returned. I went for a spin as soon as I could get it out of the box. The helmet looks like all other DOTs when it's on. The helmet was light and fit well. The Visor seemed like it would work good. The ride was great up to 55 mph. After this (without windshield) it was as if someone was sitting behind me trying to pull my head off. When I turned to the side the wind injected itself into my eyes! I tried riding with and with out sunglasses. The difference doesn't need response because I can't get past the fact the ride at highway speeds sucks. The rim of the pilot shield could be seen in my peripheral vision. The sucked after a couple of miles. No real need for pictures I guess, unless you all want to see a bobblehead. Another one for the shelf I guess.

I was thinking the shield would be somewhat of a wind-catcher. Almost bought a similar helmet for my daughter, but put it down after thinking about the shield. Will have to keep looking...thanks!
