Hi Jim. I recently bought a 2024 Spyder RT Limited. Previously had a 2018 RT Limited. I have back issues, as well as right shoulder issues due to a bicycle wreck a few years back. I remember on a video a few years ago you got the short reach handlebars for your RT. Do you feel they help with back/shoulder issues over the standard handlebars? I’m 5’10”. Thanks!

We use several different brands of helmets over the years and have settled into “Nolan” helmets. The n21 visor helmet is my favorite. But it doesn’t have any air flow through the helmet. The other is the n100-5 modular helmet. Love that one for long distance. Takes 4 to 5 times wearing them to break them in. Fit your head like a glove.

Thank you for the ride. It is really important to get a helmet that one is comfortable in. I like your little remote control to the camera. I noticed that your are swirling some.... Perhaps you dont notice, and perhaps it is the road. I really like your channel and am subscribed, but I just wanted to give some constuctive critisism. There are steering stabilizers that can help. Also, coachbob3 released a video a few days ago that gives some advice to the steering. Greetings from Puebla, Mexico.
