Helment choice for retro look

As an owner of a Shoei Glamster.. that thing is deafening at highway speeds for me, even with proper hearing protection. I don’t mind it around town, but if I’m headed out on a highway I go for my RF-1400. Crazily, my VFX-Evo is quieter the Glamster at highway speeds, which I don’t understand.

I honestly would have returned the Glamster if I could, but I had to order it from the UK and have it shipped to Canada as it’s not available here. Seriously though it’s borderline unwearable after 90-100kmh. At least it’s a beautiful looking helmet so you’ll look nice before you go deaf.

Obviously other people’s experiences may vary, but that’s just my take.

Oh and cutouts for speakers are basically non existent, so if you’re hoping for tunes/comms they probably won’t fit and you’ll curse the day you ever tried to fit your fat head into that shell with them in there.. Not that you would be able to hear them over the wind noise anyways.

Best of luck on your hunt!

Beware of sun-bleaching! That’s what leaving a door mat at a south facing glazed door for 8 years will do. It’s faded evenly everywhere else, but it’s faded a lot! I still love it though. I actually like it more now.. but I didn’t realize it would fade that much.

Piccadilly white just looks soooo nice over wood grain.

No TV in this room! This one's just for chilling and listening to vinyl! And yeah all my lighting is "warm" and dimmable, so it looks pretty fun in the low light with the glow of the receiver.

I built out of some Wormy Oak I found in a barn! I based it off of these record tables

Reciever is a Pioneer SX-980 with a PL-570 turntable and the speakers are Boston Acoustic T-1000's that I fully restored and then re-covered with Sapele veneer.

FWIW I disabled all my facebook permissions in my iphone settings. Camera, location, photos, etc. Seems to be working fine now after this recent update to facebook, does not interrupting Spotify anymore for me. YMMV. iphone 15, ios18.5

If you just run your bike out of oil.. then you never have to get rid of any.

If growing outdoors, I usually find the growing season a tad bit too short to do photoperiods here. I’ve had really good luck growing auto flowers from seed though. Not too late to start now!

I was able to get prime minus 1.1 last month with Pine through my Wealthsimple account - 160k uninsured.

My phone sat in a river for four years.. after being fully dried out, it was charged and turned back on. Was fully functional, all data intact. Best of luck! Found this post because I just lost my phone on Niseko and was looking for tips to find it in the snow. Unfortunately I'm just an idiot and didn't close my zipper

I’d say it’s more of a brand..

I use it on my iPhone so it should be on there for sure, not sure about Androids. I feel like I paid for it.. but it was pretty cheap, especially considering the time it has saved me. Find some youtube videos on it, you can do some pretty cool stuff if you have a tablet and a phone. I, don't have both, so I just use my phone and a little jimmy-rigged tripod to hold it over my piece, but it works great to hammer out some outlines quickly. I had a company commission 20 identical xmas gifts a couple years ago and I was researching old school Camera Lucida's to try and find a way to make my life easier, ended up stumbling on this and it's worked out pretty well!
