So I am definitely having another Arai...

My dilemma is that all the paint schemes at the moment are a bit ... dull!

My previous two have been the John Reynolds / Union Flag design because I really liked it. Before that I had a Simon Crafar rep because that too had the Union Flag on it as part of the NZ flag design. Call me patriotic...

But there's nothing in the current range that I like. The nearest thing that looks any good to me is the Arai Chaser V "flag" like this...



This is now discontinued so I'm looking at old stock through ebay or being lucky to find one in store. I've not got a problem with this.

I do like the Lorenzo reps, especially now he's at Ducati, or maybe even a Dovi rep, but I just can't convince myself to move away from Arai.

Am I right?

It's this for me. Classy..
