The reason?? I get battered to f@ck by the wind - and that, along with the resultant noise comparable to sticking my head out of a car window at 100mph means I get no pleasure from motorway riding and try to avoid if I can.It seems that the laws of physics and mathematics has resulted in my 6'3" frame and double bubble screen creating a perfect collision area of wind blast direct to me at face level. [size=78%] [/size]If I lean forward, it eases slightly, but I cannot ride like that permanently.[size=78%]I'd welcome the views and advice of similarly tall riders who have a set-up that is more comfortable than mine. I currently have a powerbronze double-bubble. Many thanks. Ride safe.[/size]
I'm 6'1 and commute 50 miles along the M6 every day so can sympathise.Firstly, I can't recommend a good set of earplugs enough, and apparently helmet choice makes a big difference though I have no experience of that, having only ever owned one.As for the buffeting, I only find it a problem if going over 90 or being too close to the car in front.The turbulence from a car, van or lorry has a much greater effect on me than higher speeds, does anyone else find this?
Or not ride at 130mph! Unless you want to loose your licence!
