Default Just took my windshield off

Figured it was a good thing to do on a 38 degree day.

LOL! When it gets down to 40 degrees, that's when I put my windshield ON!

Yeah, I ride without a windshield for the most part during the summer, but when it gets down the the 40's or colder, or when you are on a long all day cruise, a windshield is great for keeping that 'blast' off your upper body.

I was out riding this morning (high 20's, low 30's), and yes, I had a windshield on the bike.

What's a windshield? [8D]
That's exactly what I said for over 35 years, never used one, never wanted to use one.....

Both my Road King and FatBoy came with the 'quick disconnect' windshields, so I decided to try riding with one (just because I was curious).....

All I can say is when it's in the 40's or lower, or if you are on an all day 70+ MPH run, they do make a difference (as much as I hate to actually admit it)...

Boy, I really need to re-evalute my line of thinking............

45-50 degrees mine goes on! hate the look of the dang thing, but hokey-cow does it make a difference!!!

Did the "no-windshield " thing for past 20 years... now, I am finally cool enough to be ok with it

Are you waiting for it to get cold before you put it back on?
