After the hail stone damage last year in northern Spain, Eugene is just about back on the road.
Just need an MOT.

Those Brooklands screens just look so good on a Seven.

Do you wear a helmet when driving?

I sometimes use an aeroscreen and always wear a helmet on dual carriageways. If I'm just pootling about, I'll go without, but always wear Wileys. Even keeping a respectful distance from the car in front you do get hit in the face by tiny specks of gravel that you'd never notice with a windscreen; then there's insects - and rain hurts at 60mph!

But it's a lovely feeling of freedom.

I actually have a set of Brooklands which I used when doing sprints and trackdays. I always wore a helmet. But I found them impractical for normal road use so put the proper screen back on. They do look nice though.

I've done a couple of hundred thousand miles with Aeros...
Always have eye protection, but never a bash hat.
Just a buff in the sun, and something warmer in the winter...

I just love the open/free feeling!
If you search YouTube for 'bogclub7' you'll find a bunch of videos of our exploits...

Hi Eric,

If you ever decide to "move on" your Brooklands, please let me know.
I've always fancied trying a pair.
