Morning temps have been 65 degrees and afternoons 80. So I removed the quick detach windshield a couple of days ago and got some wind in my face. Heck, I almost forgot what it feels like.
I'm diggin it.

 

I did that the other day for the first time on my new ride, the only thing was I forgot that along with the wind in your face you also get the pesky bugs. Oh well I guess that is a small price to pay.

 

Always got to remember to breath just a little harder.

 

Always have to comb the bugs outta my beard afterwards...forget that it makes a soft landing for em.

 

Best feeling in the world, well almost

 

bugs hitting me in the face dont bother me so much opposed to the ones that just so happen to slip right up my nose... damn critters...

 

What kind of shields do you guys use that you actually don't get the wind in your face with them on? When I take my Windvest shield off, the difference is that the wind against my face is smooth rather than being a bit turbulent, but the actual quantity of wind is pretty similar. Biggest difference is the amount of crap hitting my face. In general, I like the feel better with the shield off....in between bug strikes. Every time I get hit in the face by a big bug, though, I wish the shield was back on!

 

Yea, I did the same thing last week. Temps in the mid to high 80's, very little wind...feels good.

 

Well I guess I'll leave the Ultra home tommorrow and ride the Sportster. You guys got me thinking I need some air.

 

Agreed, the ride looks, sounds and feels better without. Sometimes I wish I had a full size shield instead of a compact.
