Now you'll have to come visit us strange South Islanders.

lol our longest ride so far has been an hour one way... I think right now the South Island is a little too far away... but I'm sure we'll get there someday (I wanna tour NZ on a bike before I go and tour any other country)

Congratulations....well done to you and your partner.

Ride with your visor down and wear a bandana across your face, then you wont suffer with burnt/sore lips when going at faster speeds.

It also keeps the bugs out of your face and eyes when the visor is down.

I havn't tried that, thanks

I'll buy some and give it a go... It just sucks when you've had a good ride and you take your helmet off and your lips are burning...

Yeah I always ride with my visor down, when on normal roads I have it open about 1cm to let air in because I'm not going fast, but when on the motorway or open roads I have my visor completely closed... The wind/air blows in from under the helmet... I tried using a bandana/scarf... but it was uncomfortable...

You aint wearing the bandana the right way then....
Pm me for my addy and pop over and I will show you how I wear mine with no probs at all.
That will be a nice wee ride for you as well. Coming out to the west.

But if you don't make the noises you don't go as fast

I have a piece of material (brushed fluffy stuff like the inside of sweatshirt) velcro'd under the chin piece - stops all air draughting up onto my face.
