      Hmmm, I see this as an excuse entirely valid reason to buy more boots.

          You have to remember who we're dealing with here…  G doesn't need an excuse to buy more boots - that is a given!  Oh yeah, the 500 is badass!

            G, what kind of aviator goggless?

            If you are getting Aviator Retros, their lenses suck bick time. You better order some good lenses for them from Good Ole US of A.  (ANSI graded)

            Only proper lenses Davida is offering is the Blue mirror, which is polycarbonate, other lenses are acetate. (or so it was at least while ago)

                    One of Haraki's friends works for Yamaha in The Netherlands.  He is a very good customer of mine, I just told him about the bike:

                    Super cool!!!
                    Grad you picked Yamaha, XT500 is surely legendary machine with lot of character!!!
                    Enjoy

                          see what is said (from British Classic site) about Aviators

                          Suggestion
                          Aviator 4400 goggles may be worn with the strap over the helmet. They are ideal with Davida Classic or other half-helmets, leather flying hats or with no headwear.  We don't recommend them with open face helmets such as the Davida Classic Jet, or Speedster with the strap over helmet as they may not seal at the temples.

                          That is true, that just struck me when I read that.
                          With open helmet like Jet I use flip up visor, like this
