Helmet thoughts

Go get yourself some cheap ear plugs.

At 100km/h, it takes about 15-20 minutes before permanent hearing damage starts. You wont notice it to begin with, but you will after 20 years of riding.

Yep good advice. Can't imagine riding without a full face though. When I was punted off by a car some years ago my HJC was flattened on one side, the chin bar was cracked, and the visor was gouged. Apart from a mild concussion I was ok (well apart from the broken bones, stretched tendons, etc).

I have a LS2 384iron or something, great helmet internal visor, good fit and nice and cheap (I didn't go to buy a cheap helmet I wanted Shoei but they don't fit)
Although after a year of daily use its starting to show its age. The padding coming away from the shell and the fit is beginning to deteriorate, for the price though you could replace it yearly.

Also I use the in ear type ear phones, if you get good fitting ones they work quite well as ear plugs and plugged into the cell phone I can listen to music and know when someone is trying to get hold of me (I usually don't worry about checking it till I stop but if it rings a couple of times I can pull over and return the call)
