Haha p/t. Have seen one on a Road King. I was disturbed. I didn't inspect any closer for fear of tassles.
*Offtopic as it is* The best fuel gauge is knowing your bike well and using the trip meter. There isn't a gauge on our baby VTR, and I've never run out of fuel and can quite confidently push it to less than a litre left.

i seem to be skilled enough to consistently come to a rolling stop either in/outside a gas station or right outside a mate's driveway as he was about to drive out of it
only once have i had to push, and that was a mere 50m - the other time i was able to roll downhill back down the road to my driveway
One hell of a ride.
Neither Buell or Tbird have fuel gauges. 3 trip meters and one that auto counts from when the light goes on with the Buell. One trip meter and a reserve tap on the Tbird.
All 't needs laddy boy.

It isn't just you copping if for the decision to buy open face when riding in Auckland Dushy. If you're inexperienced, Auckland traffic is dangerous - period.

Then the subsequent thread (where only one reply I saw was from a KBer) where the author was strongly counseled to get a full face helmet immediately:

I note too the meme-checking of the correlation between open face helmets of a certain genre and a 'Vespa-Über-alles-gear-for-style-only' mentality.
Doesn't play well with others
"you DO need a full face helmet because some GOOBER will try to kill you (it's mostly to preserve the dental records so they can identify your body without upsetting your mum, as I understand it)."
Bahahaha great link Ross!

I've clocked up a couple days on my davida now and all I can say is wow. It is a fantastic helmet.
As far as comfort goes, there is no problem. It fits my head really well and is surprisingly quiet for me, allowing me to forgo ear plugs *most of the time*. The leather interior is really soft, and has done an excellent job of keeping my knoggin warm.
I've travelled up to 80km/h and so far I have had no wind lifting the helmet or trying to pull it back.
The only negative I can say is that the goggles do tend to fog for the first five minutes of riding and when they fog, everything becomes a kaleidoscope of colours and shapes haha, especially at night. So a bit of caution is required when starting off at night.
Apart from that, I can't praise it enough. Rode through some torrential rain today and the goggles were great. The water ran off better than on my sharks visor. The balaclava I wear with it keeps my face warm whilst still allowing breath-ability.
Looks wise, it is gorgeous and I love it. Overall i'd give it a five star. The only other downside I can think of, is due to it's shape and extremely fitting nature many people will find taking it off lots will be an annoying procedure.
For me, it's perfect.
Happy riding

do any of you know what kind of jacket the davida chick is wearing?

Yes, I believe it would be a davida leather jacket as they do a davida range of leather gear. I will inquire with work on friday and send you a pm as to what jacket it is, if it is a davida one.
