This is crazy. Just looked at my bike
Radio, check
cup holder, check
floorboards, check
GPS, check
Windshield, check
cigarette lighter (power point actually) check
Damn it, I've been driving my car all this time and didn't know it. That explains why I could never get this countersteering thing down. LOL

Don't worry too much, there are some that don't like to ride much more than 50 miles or so at a time. There are those that couldn't fathom a multi-thousand mile trip on their motorcycle either. For those that only stay within their city limits they don't want any of the things that make touring comfortable and enjoyable.

Exactly right. But I can't knock a dude for why he bought his bike. Some folks just like to ride them in short spurts and look at them while they're parked. More power to them. I bought a motorcycle to tour with. So some of the creature comforts that'll keep my mind and body fresh during a long ride are luxuries I consider positives, not negatives.

I'm all good with whatever. I just think it's a bit humorous when those that only use their bike as a hopper would rather drive a car than have a windshield on a motorcycle. As for me? I'll find any excuse to keep riding. If that takes a windshield, GPS, cupholder, backrest and/or anything else I'll be on my motorcycle and not in a car.
In the same vein, I regularly get back from a trip and get laughed at for the bugs and road grime all over the bike, and the insults come from a rider with gleaming, perfect chrome who hasn't been outside the city limits in two years.

That's why there are different bikes styles, models and brands. Something for everyone.
