- Do you like having a windshield on your motorcycle?
Just wondering what people's thought on windshields are? Do you like them or dislike them? I have a 1994 Suzuki VS800 Intruder. I like the style of my bike as it is, it's more of a classic cruiser almost chopper look, not ver bulky so I'm hesitant to add a windshield. Does it make riding more enjoyable? Not as cold in the colder weather? Also, I see they make snap on snap off windshileds. Are these pretty easy to pop on and off?
A Yes, but for the most part, no. I other words, I do like them but prefer not to use one. Yes, this choice does make highway riding tiring, but that's my choice. I prefer to avoid the highways anyway, for other reasons. The advantage to a windshield is that it does block - almost everything. Bugs, road grit, wind, rain... If you prefer to go fast or not have your helmet buffeted by the wind, they do make the ride much more enjoyable. They offer a measure of protection - many states will let you ride without eye protection if you have a shield. For the cold, they help. It's only as much as the wind chill, but it's a help. One advantage not listed yet - if that car does pull out and you simply cannot stop in time, that windshield will slow you down as your chest takes it off. Your head doesn't hit as hard. (only slight sarcasm, as it's truth - I didn't even bruise, just a little sore).

- What is the Best Kind of Motorcycle in your opinion? Cruiser, Sport, Touring, Chopper, Motocross, ect?
I am not looking to buy any particular kind, I have a 1800cc C109RT sitting in my garage right now. I am just curious as to how many people will answer and what the general community thinks is best. Cruisers of Single Cylinder small size. Cruisers T-Twin Variety. Cruisers 3 Cylinders and up. Cruisers with Saddlebags and windshields aka Baggers. Touring Bikes like the Electroglide or the Goldwing. Sport Bikes like the GSX 1000 and Ninjas. Super Sport Bikes like the Hayabusa. Sport Touring like the Bandet with Luggage Rack. Standard and motor. Dirt Bikes Duel Sport Bikes Choppers. Custom Designs ***Rat Rods and the like*** Boss Hoss's... They get their own catagory since they have a Chevy V8 inbetween you legs :( And any other type that I might not have thought up. 5 Points to the best answer and not for anybody voting for my fav category. Reasoning behind answer.
A I love my Harley Road Glide V Twin. It makes a nice commuter in San Diego. My all time favorite so far. Cant beat having a radio while riding. The hard bags hold an ice chest and tools along with needed papers for work. It is still easy enough to ride in traffic and through the windy mountains. My floor boards are almost ground all the way off from dragging in the corners. I also own many old Yamaha 2 stroke enduros (1971-1975) for cruising the streets on the weekends with friends. My step dad had a Boss Hoss years ago. It was a cool looking bike, but that was it. It sucked to ride. I owned a Triumph Tiger about 8 years ago. It was fun to ride, but not compared to my old Fat Boy. The Triple picked up quick, but the bike was a bit to tall for me.....scary riding wheelies. I have owned a few sport bikes when I was younger, but now I stay off them.
