Maybe your post is a sign that I should actually purchase them.<br /><br />When I saw the Minnesota Motorcycle Monthly link and was wondering if you knew Gary Charpentier--he used to write for it. He had a blog when I started blogging but he had to stop several years ago. I was wondering how he is doing.<br /><br />Steve Williams<br /><a href="http://vespalx150.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Scooter in the Sticks</a>Steve Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04540977884513559091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-62350940512187579852011-07-08T11:10:07.983-05:002011-07-08T11:10:07.983-05:00Bob: I'm firmly in the more time than $$ camp ...<b>Bob:</b> I'm firmly in the more time than $$ camp now.

I put on a calsci XL which is much better, but still not naked dualsport/sportbike quiet.

My vote is to lose it :) <br /><br />Gosh, you know - you haven't convinced me that you didn't enjoy the movie ;o) Sounds like a perfect candidate for hideous re-gift.Fuzzygalorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05198483186952639226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-27651558668967026602011-07-07T20:48:14.502-05:002011-07-07T20:48:14.502-05:00I have a pair of the orange lobster claw rain cove...I have a pair of the orange lobster claw rain covers.

I find that a windshield is protection which stops debris from hitting you; rocks, sand & bugs. I would not ride without one. I wished that I had more time off.
