Default Love ridin naked... hate rain in my face....
I enjoy riding the bike naked in the summer... wind in my face, bugs in my teeth, you get it. However, when I'm out on the road and the weather forecast goes to ****... I do not like water and crap in my face from a fenderless front tire! Here is my solution... zip ties and throw this little guy on.. works great as an "Insta Fender!!"

Looks like one good bump would snap the ties. Other than that it looks like it's better than a bandana.

I ride clothed and with a front fender. I learned that fender gimmick on my panhead and the rooster tail it caused without one.
