Since my last post---but since; I've become soft. I went to buy a windshield last week and my parts guy told me to wait until 6-7 Oct. The world poker tour is coming here and there is a 15% sale for those two days. So, I'll pick up my windshield then. Yep, everyone I ride with has talked me into getting one. I love the wind in my face; but I want this comfort they speak of. Plus, I got caught in the rain the last time I rode and it hurt like heck. Guys with windshields had little to no problems. Talk soon!!!! If you're in Fayetteville, NC---stop by Cape Fear HD for this sale. It's rare to get this type of sale without having to order from Zanottis
Up here in Ashe-vegas, it's starting to get a bit nipply in the morning.. Reminds me of the "Dumb and Dummer" scene when they pull into the ski-town with frozen snot on the side of their head from the cold ride in. [sm=icon_rofl.gif]
I'm considering breaking out the windshield myself.. because a dang full-face just ain't gonna cut it.. Just can't stand looking at my scoot with a windsheild on it.. On a heritage or heritage style (deluxe) bike, it's cool, but just looks about as good as socks on a rooster on a Fatboy without bags.
I guess it's being cool or being comfortable.
OR, here's an option, just for some added comfort.. A baklava (or something like that). basically a black ski mask with one big hole.. Keeps the ears toasty and some protection from being "sand-blasted" by rain and freezing to death when it's less than summer weather.
If I can only find mine.. in the garage somewhere.
Maybe I'll try to find those things in my garage too. I'm wimping out though------I'm going for the windshield. I want that comfort on the interstate[8D]

Can't blame you.. It's nice. I always put it on for the long trips.. It's just too easy.. wind doesn't beat you to death.. detachability is very convenient.. Typically, when I get to the destination, all the stuff (windsheild, bags, sissybar) come off and go into the hotel room.. Then it's a nice naked cruiser again.
