Default RE: Windshield Appreciation Ride

After a weekend run and a very very dirty bike, I washed/waxed bike today. Decided to take a ride without the windshield, I assure you I am old, spoiled, and the windshield is back on. Lady in front of me flipped her burning cig but out and you guessed it. Popped right on my cheek. I wan't that close either. I seen it coming and couldn't duck fast enough. My cheek and right under my goggle got a red mark.

I doubt the condensation from the air conditioner would still be airborn after it drips down onto the ground. Even if it were to splash up, it would do it under the car.

I would lean toward the exhaust condensation. Many people forget water condensation is a by-product of combustion. This is the reason they often put a drain hole in the muffler...so it doesn't sit inside and cause it to carrode faster than necessary. You would also be prone to the exhaust expulsion of the moisture riding behind more than air conditioner condensation.
