    Damn it!  Plus, I hate fringe...  :nono:

    Fingers crossed that this deal falls through.  I read that Ducati is actually under Audi ownership, which is still the VW conglomerate, so is dieselgate the real reason their selling??  

    Might be. VW needs money. And Ducati is almost certainly worth more now than when purchased.

    Shoei helmets. Do you have any of these and what are your thoughts about them?

    GT-Air

    RF-1200

    RF-SR

    My HJC FG-17 is killing me. The NOISE! (Also, it used to kill my forehead, so I'm thinking the shape isn't a perfect match.) I know wind noise is a complex interaction of turbulence, position, bike structure...but I'm wondering if a more expensive helmet may help /enough/ to keep me riding. I do wear foam ear plugs, but my ears are ringing just sitting here. The noise comes from the base of the helmet, maybe more towards the back. I like to be leaned forward a little, rarely tuck, never fully upright. And I plan to move to NC, so heat might be a factor, but noise is a deal breaker. I've tried a Windjammer II which just doesn't work for me. Wearing a neck gaiter does help, but it's summer! As it is now, I can only imagine short rides and/or not exceeding 50mph. This is no way to live!

    Allow me to recommend quality earplugs. Not the cheap foam ones. Go see an audiologist and get them made for you. World of difference. 

  3. So, though the Aprilia is awesome, it's not really right for me.

    I think I want a Connie or a feej or something Sport-Touring in that area? Something 3 cylinders or above.

    I will include my first-gear 25l duffle for the back. 

    Depending on the deal I would throw cash on it.

     

    I will throw up some pictures soon.

    I lost a legitimate 4 lbs on this trip (7 before I rehydrated), even with all the beer I drank.

    I made/brought most of the food I ate, and I generally don't stop to eat when I'm riding.  Also, 10 hrs a day on those demanding roads burns a shit ton of calories.

    Congrats on the weight loss!
