POST-DAYTONA THURSDAY NEWS

  Check the winners, the shows, and the action. Find out about new products, new bikes, antique scores, but don't expect girls. Occasionally I receive heat for the girls. I look around. I test the waters. I look at the success of American Iron, and consider it. Then something smacks me.

Visually, the Arai Signet-Q is almost identical to its stable mate, the RX-Q, except for their ...
