Might be time for a new helmet. Get some ear plugs! I ride a supermoto with a dirt bike helmet and wind noise is not really a problem with ear plugs. However I wont ride more than 10 miles or go over 45mph without ear plugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a Shoei GT-Air which is built for a naked bike like mine and is worlds quieter than my RF-1200. I used to think my RF-1200 was quiet until I rode with the GT-Air - what a difference. I have no-noise ear plugs that filter out noise (wind, etc) but still allow you to hear music thru a Sena. I recommend the ear plugs as well as the helmet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she "went down", she must have been one of the lesbians, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering about that; the riding position my helmet was designed for. Plus, the internal shape is probably not ideal. I always use foam earplugs. The problem for me is turbulence at the base of the helmet behind my neck, unless I tip my chin up a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have a Windjammer that I could try again. I don't want to hijack the thread though. Wow, 1300 miles is a lot. I just looked at riding to Charlotte, NC and it's only 440 miles. Only 1/3 of the trip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really a big deal for me, except that I couldn't send my family texts that I had made it to our destination without incident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news is cell signal isn't needed for Bluetooth connection if the music is saved on your phone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wind in NY was rough at certain points so I would tuck to give my neck a break from the wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
