that's for my wife's etsy store. vintage clothes.
her name is Marie(the mannequin) after my wife's late grand mother.
besides my wife and i like creepy things.
we fill our house with thing that are not outright scary but are subtle and unsettling.
my kids friends are always nervous here. it's hilarious

you would think so but her vintage stuff you can pick up for next to nothing, my purchases are a little more
significant which can be a little more difficult to work into the conversation. She's been cool about it over all tho. i'm sure a lot of you know what i'm talking about

You will eventually get used to it.  A dark shield and some speakers in that helmet will help a lot.
I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

Yeah I think it will take a bit to get used to. It is my first full face for a motorcycle. I've been chasing the puppy around the house with it on and I think it is a lot more comfortable than my 70's Buco.
The puppy not too comfortable with it though.
