LOL..I don't think anyone will call someone a wuss for using a windshield. At least I wouldn't. Maybe I will try it but I don't see me using it for riding around town or short runs. Maybe I like the abuse of being smacked around by the elements. lol

Heh, on my way too and from the bob run in milwaukee I rode with just my roll back and no windshield. There were some parts of PA I thought I was starting to get rained on because of how many bugs I was riding through.
Eh, all part of the experience, I don't ride with one but it sure would be nice.

There are also short range wireless headsets made specifically for motorcycle riders and passengers so they can talk to each other.

Try riding in Florida without a windshield during love bug season. These little bastards come in pairs and lots of them. I won a detachable windshield from my Harley dealer last christmas and havent taken it off since.

I prefer the looks without my QD compact,but i like to ride over 60 mph often which gets tiring after 10 or 20 minutes so I rather it on. cool weather like below 50 deg. is cold at that speed (wind chill factor) call me what you want ,just don't call me late for dinner!
