So, some of those who want to ride but not buy a permit (read Aholes)have found a way around this year's black/chrome permit, Just tear an old permit off and you have a silver adhesive/ void with a dark background from the windshield. I saw 3 of them this afternoon in 90 km. 2 were riding in a 4 sled group.

hey mapguy great to ride with you and your buddy friday hopefully he will get his sled back up and running in good order  btw I forgot to mention i have a brand new belt for his machine oem #3211215 175.00 let me know if he is interested I might go out one more time before the trip  maybe twin mountains ? monday or tuesday

I bought one of these last year, size L and I had to to change the cheekpads (down 2 sizes) to get it comfortable.  in my experience, CKX helmets all fit narrow compared with Doo models.  I have the apple shaped head which means wide across the cheekbones. I cannot buy any helmet w/o trying one on first.  

Nice where you go today? I hope to give it a whirl tomorrow 

These ones are better, but still no way for me.
