Default RE: Windshield

I have a memphis shades classic deuce on mine. I rode for about a month without one and I agree with the previous posts about not getting as tired after a ride. I also couldn't hear my v & h short shots at 70+mph with the wind noise. I ride mostly on the interstates and highways and this is how I made my decision.

Default RE: Windshield

I don't have much of a problem on the highway without a windshield and I ride 60 miles round trip for work every day,50 of which are onI-87.I really dontlike the look of them either, so I don't want one. My dad has one on his Volusia and it definitely breaks the wind and makes it easier, but I don't like having a windshield infront of me, thats part of whyI ridea motorcycle in the first place . I'm also just a kid, I'm sure as I get older and my joints get a little more creaky I might change my mind[8D]

June bugs do fricken hurt though... I think that's what hit me because there weren't any cars infront of me to spit up rocks. Anyway, thursday morning I was hit by a kamikaze and got a fat lip, glad I wasnt yawning.... I think that was the first time I actually thought a windshield was a good idea, but it quickly passed
