No Front Fender

Well, I need to take my Front fender off to get repaint ( thanks to my daughter and her scooter). My painter said it would take about a week, so I am estimating 2-3 weeks.

While its getting painted is OK to ride without the front fender, or am i asking for trouble? I am assuming I may get rocks and such kick back at me and the bike.

Have any of you try this before?

Thanks for the advise,

You might throw a few stones and rain sucks, but people have ridden without fenders forever, you just don't see it much today. You shouldn't have trouble with stuff flying at you (except water at a higher speed), you might throw the occassional stone or two up into the engine, but not much ... unless you're on a gravel road. On the road, you should be fine ...... but that's just my opinion, I would ride without a front fender, others probably would not ......

Hell, back in the day I had a few bikes with no front brakes. Today I need front brakes & front fender.
