Storm Trooper Lid

AGV Miglo Modular





I decided to get a white, modular helmet for a few reasons. Firstly, white is much more visible than my sweet flat black Shoei helmet, and some would say cooler in the sun. Also, the modular front feature is much more ideal in warmer climates, social settings where I need to communicate, times when I don't want to set my helmet down or hold it while I need to have my hands free, when I need a sip of a tasty beverage or when I need to stroke my beard to gain some additional insight. Some of the potential problems could include excess noise, potential leaking during heavy rain or general malfunction due to the increased number of moving parts. I'll get back to you after a few thousand miles!

New Boots!


I've been considering which boots to take down south. I want something extremely versatile. Something light, waterproof, simple, durable, comfortable on and off the bike, breathable, and a sole with traction for mud. My BMW boots make my feet sweat even in moderate weather, probably due to the Gore-Tex lining. And pure motocross boots will be too restrictive with too much plastic. I just ordered these boots from Aerostich and hope that they will be suitable.
