Wife and I made a short 200 mile circle yesterday. It was a beautiful day. 75 degrees and very slight winds. Lots of motorcycles and group rides. We left Lewiston, Id. heading North. Took 195 to Spokane to 90 East to 95 South.
Stopped at the Coeur 'd Alene casino for the $40.00 6.95 special lunch special. Geezzz, you'd think I'd have learned by now! About the time we are entering Moscow, Id. I noticed how many bugs have splattered on my windshield. Lots of BIG splatters. I've been riding with a windshield for about 3 years now and I have a lot of years without a windshield. I just don't remember all those bug splatters in my face. Sure, I had few splatters. Some really good ones and ate a few bugs but I just don't remember that many so I've come to the conclusion that bugs need that last 20 inches or so before your face to bob or weave or swerve to keep from running into you and just the really old or slow bugs are the ones that reach 'splatter'.
I'm wondering...Has anyone gone from windshield to no windshield? Don't
think I'll go back to no windshield.
