After hearing about it on the net, I took the Mortorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) course, which I HIGHLY recommend. After finishing the course, I bought a good leather jacket, leather gloves, a Shoei helmet, and a new 84 Honda 650 Nighthawk. Great stuff! And thanks to all the netters for the unknown encouragement. As far as the helmet goes, the Shoei has one feature which I really like, and would greatly miss. The face shield ratchets up and down with about 7 stops. The first one is the most important - you can ride on cold days with the shield open a notch and it won't fog up, due to the increased air flow. Being able to quickly flip it open and closed at lights is very worthwhile. Hope you have as much fun as I'm having! Bob Clark, Cygnet Systems, Sunnyvale, CA hplabs!cygnet!bob
