I always use full face if i am going any distance , open face is ideal for tootling round town.

Worth using earplugs too, they obviously cut the noise right down.  I found they take a bit of getting used to but I don't like riding without them now.

Cheesy 

Decided to learn last year, took lessons over the winter and passed this April.  I have a Kawasaki ER6-f and am enjoying bimbling around, it's great fun.

Up for trips of course.  I'm up for most things when it comes to the bike, I just have to persuade the Mrs to let me go!

Is bimbling anything like cavorting?

Fat cheeks must make either more comfortable.

What are you trying to say about me Wink

I do get blown around a bit at very high speeds but it's not too bad in the most.   I think it's similar to most 600's -  I had a look on http://cycle-ergo.com/ and they all seemed pretty much the same, excluding the Triumph Speed Triple perhaps but that was a bit out of budget (and not available on 0%)

Have taken pictures but having looked at your bike i've realised that my point I was trying to make is of no use as you have one seat for both pillion and rider. Here's the tailpack I used when touring anyway.

Ah! Thanks Mr Mo. That pic has made everything much clearer.  Tongue

And one of these. £15 off eBay.

Tested both. Keeping the Caberg, selling the Box. (Hopefully for £35)

I'm a little surprised that Tikay's not joining your gang as I'm sure he said that he used to be a real motorbike enthusiast.

It's strange Boo. Mostly medium is OK but I need a large in some makes. I think it's all down to fat cheeks.
