For those of you that ride with no windshield ...

Cured myself of Helmet OCD and got rid of my 1/2-helmets.
Since I have to wear one I might as well wear a FF and be comfortable.
But no windshiekd on my bike.

Short two hour ride and I amassed something close to 2 million bugs and nearly 2 lbs of bug guts on my windscreen. Cool is cool, but not eating bugs is better. I prefer my protein to come off the grill with a hint of mesquite.

OK. I see we are speaking in code here. Never a "FF" for me. I always use a "WS". Windscreen. Sorry I did not read your code. Nowadays everyone seems to get a personal attack if not agreed with. Sign of the times. I am bout ready to back off on this internet stuff. Just watch and ride my own ride. Ride easy.

I don't like the look of my Deuce with the windshield, that's the reason I have a quick detachable windshield. Not for the wind noise but for the effect of the wind on my chest at 75mph. I do a fair amount of super slab riding and it just makes it much more comfortable with a windshield.
FWIW, I don't like the look of saddlebags either, thus the detachable ones.
(also don't like the little back rest bag, but I gotta have some place to carry something.)

Wind
Use earplugs...I like the wind pushing at my chest and it helps strengthen my arms. You can feel a real difference between the beginning of the riding season and the end.

I love my windshield. It helps protect my eyes, takes the pressure off my body at high speeds, reduces wind noise, and keeps bugs away. I even like the way it looks.
It makes no sense to me to suffer for the sake of appearance.
