I started this thread on my Meetup group. I am curious what it is for my Savage friends as well.
If you could choose only one thing that makes your ride more comfortable and enjoyable, what would it be? I have added a windshield, rider's backrest, different handlebars, etc. (as have many of you) which all contributed to a more comfortable, safer, and enjoyable ride for me. However the one thing that makes the biggest difference in my riding is earplugs. I can still hear traffic and conversations so I am not deaf to the world, but the wind noise is dramatically decreased. That decrease, for me anyway, makes my ride so much better. I don't know if it is the frequency of the wind noise, the level of the wind noise, or the feeling that the sound makes it seem like I am traveling 3X my rate of speed, but I arrive at my destination much more relaxed and can travel longer without fatigue. The ear plugs make the same difference to me whether I am wearing my half, 3/4, or full face helmet. (I actually get the most wind noise in my 3/4 helmet). I tried a bunch of different ear plugs until I found some that fit comfortably and are washable/reusable.
Is there anything that does the same for you?
