Screen is doing a very good job up to around 160 km/h....then it starts to get windy around the head & chest :)

Funny thing is, when it first came out I thought it a bit rubbish, I was and still am a bit old school Rock, Cream,  Purple, Zep, etc, but it now holds a certain nostalgia

The way the weather is going in Scotland looks like you got the "summer" during your trip  :lol:  I hope the dry weather has been shifted right for my Oct trip back.

I was into all the Elektronica of that age at the time, Vangelis, JJ Jarre, Softmachine and even more off the wall stuff like Dave Greenslade, still gives me a buzz ...... until I saw a vid where someone had dubbed Autobahn over a GS ride, now I can't listen to it without images of head to foot BMW robots rolling down a motorway popping into my mind, spoiled it a bit for me. :cry:

Those cans sound great!  What are they?  Lose any weight vs. stock cans?

I bought the bike with the BOS race cans on so I don't know about the weight gain. They got stainless pipes on them and those are kinda heavy. All in all I guess it's about the same weight as stock cause the cans themselves are relatively lightweight and straight through ones.
