I know Moss has the goggles and leather helmet as well. They too are expensive!

I have reservations at the Courtyard in Mechanicsburg that I will be cancelling soon (Friday and Saturday nights). If anyone wants the rooms, let me know by Private Message and we can try to make the swap.

I wear glasses all the time. Mine are not enough for me to avoid the sting of the wind when driving open. I may just have sensitive eyes though.
Steve: right: Proper RAF goggles and a righteous leather pilot’s helmet are the only way to fly. I might even buy a summer-weight one. -

I’m gonna try to make the meet. Right now I have a DR appt that ends at 11, so it might be a tight run out to Frederick…
As for Rt 15 eateries: sorry. -

I don’t think the wheel on VintageCarParts UK web site is a Forever Sharp wheel.
FS has banjos, but all the ones I’ve seen are three spoke. Pictures here:And they don’t sell them without the center hubs like the one b… -

Cool but remember this: if you drive around with the Brooklands screens as the only thing between you and the oncoming wind, you’ll probably want at least a pair of wrap-around glasses on your face as well. Every year I forget at least once and end up on the highway doing 50 with monster pain and squinting and then one eye closed and then the other.

They’re on my Wish List at Moss Motors. They Look Hot! I hope to buy myself a pair for my Birthday in August. I figure that I’ll switch between the windscreens for spring and summer and the windshield to support the convertible top in the fall and winter.

Thanks for the safety tip, Greg and might I add that an annual prostate exam is also in order. I lost my Dad to an aggressive form of prostate cancer and I’ve been getting checked since I was 37. Cheap insurance!
Glad to hear that you’re doing well. By the way, in my experience, its not so much the exhaust system as it is the horn.:lol: -
