I had already assumed it was a mini-van. You did say it had a DVD player, right?

No mini van or DVD, but it does have a 7.7 gallon tank that will go 300 miles between fill ups!

This doesn't seem logical, but I have a 1/2 helmet and I finally took the little visor off and the wind noise lessened. The wind drag decreased substantially, too (I like the look and feel of the RK w/o a windshield).

Of course if the wind noise really bothers you go get some good ear plugs...

BTW, the wind noise is only a factor at 60 + mph, you're just riding around town???

Who needs that? I can't go 300 miles between empty outs OR stretch outs! Occassionally 300 miles between burn outs

Back to the subject - my ACC 1/2 is also pretty quite. Helps to have a beanie on under it to ward off the 45 degree temps though.

I honestly dont like half helmets that you ears are visible, I have worn my dads 1/2 helmet and rly didnt like it, at first I did till I got home and Had the BIGGEST headAche of my life, only reason I wore it is b/c women wanted some rides ;-) so of course i gave them my 3/4 one...In all honesty like everyone says get some real good earplugs and you'll be ok
