I just returned from a 5000km maritime tour. It was 6 days riding over an 8 day period, a few of the days were quite long,, at 20 and 14.5 hours each. The rest were only 10 to 12hrs. I really like my Shark Evoline3 3/4 modular helmet, although it is a bit heavy, with bluetooth and video attachments. The old Interstate fairing on my CB1000c has a huge windshield, which seems like you are sitting in a helicopter bubble. The seating position is near perfect for me. For an '83,, it is an excellent sports touring bike. But I came back with some pretty serious neck strain. A month later the damage is still noticeable,,, with a numbing near my right back shoulder blade. All I can put it down to is age, physical conditioning and the intensity of the ride. Hmmm,,, the last two items are under my control,,, come to think of it. Guess I need to plan better, and hit the gym !! Cat'
