I really, really, like my Speedmaster 2018. Really. Except one thing: although I have the cruising screen fitted, I've had a lot of buffering. I have not, however, enjoyed my Shoei Neotec modular helmet - because I stupidly bought a size too small. The result? Painful ears, and great discomfort. Ridiculous on my part, particularly as it's an expensive helmet. Like Robert The Bruce's spider, I don't give up easily: I've now shelled out another fortune on a Neotec 2 - one size up. My earache has gone - and, miraculously, so has the turbulence. Although expensive, the helmet has transformed my riding enjoyment. Beerman
