I probably put maybe 1000 miles a year on a bike back then and never really rode fast for long periods of time. Now I live in Arizona where the roads are wide and the weather is great 99% of the time. I usually put 5,000 miles a year on a bike. I bought a Shoei rf 1200 helmet last year, supposedly a very quiet helmet. But I still added a MRA speed screen on my Griso. The 2014 Honda had a mid sized windshield installed when I bought it, it works well but it is ugly. I ordered a Comet from Japan a week ago. Frankly I am spoiled at this stage of my life, I'm 66 and in really good shape but high speed riding is exhausting without some kind of shield/screen. I also had a BMW K1200 GT with a massive adjustable windshield. That was like riding in a cocoon, although it could be really comfortable when the weather got bad. I sold the GT to purchase the CB1100.
Yeah, I'm thinking I'll stay at 55-60 on two lanes and avoid interstates. Like the trip to NC this May. I have a back way country roads all the way into the meet and don't plan on spending money on a shield until I decide to go to Sturgis, which is on my bucket list for some reason I cannot quite remember. You know?
