A qick left right left to move the headlight or a quick swerve within your travel line (when safe to do so) can help.  My wife says it even works for the person following you.  She has noted many times that it will grab her focus when I do it in front of her.  less

  Full Face VS Open Face Motorcycle Helmet

  I agree with both Lucky and Rex on this one.  I would also add that I would never buy a helmet mail order without first having tried it on in a store.  Helmets vary in size, construction materials and shape.  One model Shoei might fit well...  moreI agree with both Lucky and Rex on this one.  I would also add that I would never buy a helmet mail order without first having tried it on in a store.  Helmets vary in size, construction materials and shape.  One model Shoei might fit well whereas another model (also Shoei) might not.  And when shopping for a new helmet, it is a good idea to wear that prospect for 30 - 45 minutes shopping around the store if possible.  This will give it time to settle in and any "hot spots" will show themselves.  As an example, My wife really liked a certain helmet.  When it came time for replacement, we just ordered a new one.  Well, in the 3-4 years since the original had been purchased the company had changed things and the new helmet no longer fits the same.  Now looking for "another" helmet for her (another $150 to $200).  less

  Searching

  Welcome from East TX.  I haven't been up that way much but I do know there is some great riding up that way.  Which ever route you choose will, I am sure, be fun and interesting.  Stay safe up there.
