Default Why don't you have a windshield?

Someone told, not asked me that I need a windshiled on my bike. My answer if I wanted a windshiled I would have bought a Convertable!

I agree that no one should be telling you what you need or don't need on your bike. We should all decide for ourselves what suits us best.

That being said, I don't have a windshield because I have a Batwing. It's much more efficient at blocking the wind and cold when riding down the highway at 70+ MPH. I usually take it off on short trips and when I'm riding on country roads.

Windshields are for ***** azz old timers who can't take the wind in their face anymore.

I always said that I would get a windshield when I turn 40. I guess I still have 2 more years of eating bugs.

I have a windshield because I enjoy the ride more. As long as I have a smile on my face I don't give f**k what anyone thinks.
