My Shoei helmet came with something like that. Don't know if it's an actual "pinlock" brand or their own, but it is excellent. Only once caused trouble trying to ride in snow when somehow it misted up inside. That's one journey in 35000 miles of use, including one or two others in snow/ sleet (best avoided obviously)

Anyhow the fixing broke so I just banged in a pop rivet. This might be workable if you retrofit to a helmet visor lacking the dual layer.

I take it you are already aware of the "smear with fairy liquid and wipe clear trick" to avoid misting if you visor is single layer

Thanks. I bought a generic anti fog sticker from Amzaon for £12, it worked a treat. Stepson wore it upstairs and came down puffing, all around the sticker was totally fogged up but the main field of view was clear

A proper fitting pinlock insert is something I wouldn’t ride without, they’re brilliant

Great ride out this morning, perfect weather.

A mixture of poor weather and far too much going on has meant that my bike has been tucked under a cover in the garage for the last 6 weeks. Today it was milder and dryer, so I checked the tyre pressures and got out for a lovely 80 mile ride in to the Cotswolds.

So glad I made the effort.

Cub is finally home, all running perfectly, I just need to send the fuel tank off to be re-sealed and it’ll be ready for spring.

Just looking at it makes me smile!

An unusual way to repair a m/bike
BSA, l believe

The Last Of The Summer Wine
An early episode, as it's with Blamire (Michael Bates)

Bought this recently, not had it running yet as no spark. 1950's (I think) Excelsior Consort, 100cc 2 speed.

My Japanese 1998 Honda VTR250 arrived today. About 11,000 miles on the clock and really in incredible condition. Bit of a mini monster. Pics to follow.

I love a ‘blade, that’s really nice, good to see one not covered in Aliexpress tat and nasty stickers.

Here it is, my VTR250.













No tacho like the Monster. I understand that Honda called in the guy who designed it to design this.
Same V twin that Honda has been using for yonks.
All standard apart from the reach adjustable levers( for small Japanese hands) and mirrors. Just 17800km on the clock.
