Gonna Buy a Motorcycle

More advice? One bit that stuck with me from the MSF course was that the tires will track your eyes, so one should look at the path around an obstruction in the road, not at the problem itself, or the tendency is to hit it and that's not good. And assume nobody can see/hear you.

I like it!

You may consider a small wind screen for your comfort and an additional flashing break light for your safety.

Looks like a bunch of fun. Enjoy.

Definitely looking at adding both. I am probably going to go with a taillight that adds to the back of the helmet, and wirelessly receives signals from the brake light, and also a flashing array above the license plate.

Not sure how easy it will be to find a windscreen for a bike this old, though.

Good advice, actually it's the same when driving a car. That's why some people run into cars that are safely pulled off the side of the road. If you fixate on it you'll probably hit it.
