I like riding a Honda CTX700 because men don't come up to me to compliment it regularly, which is cool because I'm not into dudes.

I love the CTX700 and would probably buy one for commuting if it didn't cost more to insure than an R1.

That's ridiculous. What year R1 is that compared to?

I had them quote me an '09. This is in Ontario, Canada, land of legally allowed insurance industry assfucking. It's with State Farm, any other motorcycle insurer would be at least twice as much as State Farm wants.

Hooray State Farm.

So I've got a Shoei full face helmet which feels like it keeps my face and head very safe indeed - BUT, I feel disconnected from the outside world..

Have a look at the Shark Vancore helmet. It doesn't have earholes, but as others are saying, jesus christ you don't want any.
