Windshields are like tampons, every pu$$y has one.
Lets break this down....no windshield: pros-(you think) your cool because you don't
need a windshield. (to each his own)
cons- bugs,wind burn,not being able to relax for
a second because the wind is trying to
blow you off. Fun for a while but don't let
go of the handle bars.
windshield: Pros- no bugs,no wind burn,you can relax and
enjoy the ride.
cons- NONE because I dont care who thinks Im
a dork. Im comfortable!!
I do take mine off for around town but it is so much more comfortable with it on the long runs.

Like others, I don't like the look of a windshield, (several - points from your cool quotient) but in the cold and wind, it's a trade off I take. If it ever freakin' gets warm here, it comes off.

Take a look at the Stinger - made by National Cycle. I'm in love with the thing. It's on my bike in the pic below.

Got the HD removable screen. Take it off for local riding, back on for hiway. I live way out of town, so most my riding begins and ends with a nice, long hiway run. I ran without one for a while, but did not like the rocks and rock hard bugs in the chest/face. After I got one, within weeks a freaking duck flew up from the side of the road and nailed my screen. I've hit a couple small birds with it also. Call it what u will, but I will never go without one on the road.
