  1. So when can I expect it to start? Does it arrive in the post?

    The shiny new Roof Daytona that Jen got me is nice though

    Heh, Hoppy Biffday, Mr.D!
    Oooh, what colour?

    Be warned; the gel-coat seems very susceptible to slight knocks, something
    I've already had experience with [1].

    Plus, only the standard (ever-so slightly tinted) visor has the anti-mist
    coating and it isn't perfect.

    Oh, and they've a tendency to leak around the top edge of the visor when
    it pisses down and then the anti-mist coating seems to make things worse...

    Wik's Top Tip: Carry an old 10p piece around as it's the ideal tool for
    undoing the side-pod screws :)

    [1] Already on my second one :-(

  8. I'm looking at 60 like I looked at 40 when I was 20. Light years away.
    But then time does seem to have speeded up so I'll be 60 in 10 years time
    then;0)

    Umm, perhaps I ought to rephrase my statement; the standard visor has an
    anti-mist coating which is only partially effective.

    The non-standard, optional visors, i.e. black and iridium do not and
    as a result, they mist as if they were competing in the Olympic,
    open-class misting competition.
    Heh, no probs.
    :)

  12. I did understand you, I was refering to the fact that as the black visors
    don't have a coating, things can't get any worse when it rains

    That'll be me "whooshed", then.

    I'm about to buy a black 'un despite the aforemetioned faults as the
    iridium one looks a tad, er, hom on the silver lid, on a silver bike.
