On the Road Again!

We have been having a few problems of late with the internet falling over and losing connections. After months of to and fro with BT Customer Care they decided to send me a new home hub. A two second installation and then a while to connect all the hardware. If this appears. It must have worked. posted from Bloggeroid

The Schuberth C2 has been a bane of my life.  The most expensive helmet I have owned for years and years. I thought I had a Shoei head, although years ago I had an Arai and it was a reasonable fit. The Schuberth is in a different league for fit though. It's hard to describe how well it fits the contours of my head and with the skirts under the ears and the chinpiece envelope my head. I guess this is the same for all of us converts. The bane though? I'd had it a few weeks and the top vent broke off and so it had to go back.

I moved it back with a fingernail and it was fixed. Sadly, the fix is only temporary as when you open the chin piece it flicks back into the wrong position, so something is letting it move out of line. I gave it a run out to work today. At first I didn't notice the increased quiet in the helmet but overall it is a quieter helmet than my other choices, both Nitro's. I always wonder if other C2's have the same floppy visor? With the Nitro I am used to a stiff action that keeps the visor down, but the C2 is much easier to move up and down; far less ef...
