Is this it? Do wonder the death rate was so high for motorcyclists back in those days, you wore shit like this. :mrgreen:

The riders vision appears to be slightly impaired by the 1/2" metal band. :?
IIRC, the one I had was big enough diameter that the strap stayed on the helmet surface, but that pic is very much like it. Initially, the spindle was too short and my nose touched the inner surface. The manufacturer put a longer spindle on and it was fine. I didn't wear goggles underneath it, as the airflow over the disc kept everything away from my face.
It eventually got broken in a minor accident and I couldn't find a replacement.

Speaking of getting hit by insects;
Many years ago while living in SW VA I went for a ride up on the Blue Ridge Parkway with a young lady who owned an ex military HD 45. this being pre-ATGATT times, she was riding in a tank top, no bra
. I was riding in front of her on my Commando, when i realized I could no longer see her behind me. I turned around to find her standing beside her bike topless, waving her top over her head!
I pulled over expecting to go run off in the bushes with her, only to discover that a bee or other stinging insect had flown down her top between her boobs, and had done a little damage before she got stopped. Unfortunately, she did not take me up on my offer to kiss things better, and only wanted to return home :cry:
Later a similair thing was to happen a few years later to another young lady I was bicycle riding with, however she was wearing a bra, so it was a less visually inspiring incident.
For a brief period of time I owned a Kawasaki Z1R-TC (good thing it was brief, 'cause otherwise I may not be typing anything in this life). While running down the road probably close to 1 and 1/2 times the ton, headed north, I ran into the south end of a stinging insect with my neck. The impact must have drove the stinger deep into my neck, and left a welt and lump the size of a baseball. I was dizzy before I got the bike stopped and was lucky not to fall of it. I had to sit by the road for quite sometime before I could slowly ride home.
