Being scared is uncomfortable 
Let the semantics 'rasslin begin!
Yeah it's all pretty sissified I agree. But sissyness aside, the pressure on one's chest (i.e., what I interpret as his "blown off the bike" feeling) is helped by a windshield.
"Man up" is just a politically correct way of callin' a guy a f*ckin' p*ussy.

Semantics rasslin' lol
Were you a little scared the first time you were about to 'get some'? Were you uncomfortable because you were scared? I doubt it. Point is that one doesn't necessarily affect the other in all situations.
Also, if you had backed out of that piece of a$$ because of your fear and your friends found out...would they not have called you a f*ckin' p*ussy? Of course they would.
See my point?

congrats on your first bike. I bought detachable windshield and it was best investment for long ride and when know will be riding at highway speed for comfort. Its also nice to ride without the windshield occassionally around the town or at 60 mph.

I busted a gut reading this. last I checked I did have some ***** (small maybe but at least I've got some). I did buy a bagger. I love it for the long trips , but I also love riding the Dyna around with no windshield. I have actually been pondering the possibility of ripping the windshield off the Ultra. My wife thinks I am nuts, but I kinda like the wind.

To all you guys suggesting man up and go sans windshield to keep your bike looking pretty, please let me know when you are going to ride by so I can gaze in admiration of how cool you look! Make sure you got no shirt on, a old scrufty leather vest that accents your skull and dagger tattoos 
Make sure there is no polish on your engineers boots and that the oil on your Levi's is at least 1/8th inch thick. Arch your back a tad and look loose in the saddle as you scream by me with a weed hanging out of your mouth. If your pony tail don't trail in the wind behind your helmet then don't bother gracing my street with your presence! I'm looking to only see the tough guys.

me, personally, I say ride without the shield and experience the wind and the ride... A motorcycle is quite a different experience with wind in your face as opposed to hiding behind a piece of plastic.
