I guess by needing a power windshield, I guess I meant how many times has it prevented you from crashing. My guess would be never, but then again I am wrong most of the time.

I think power windshields may be nice for some people some of the time, but as an innovation needed for all bikes, I think it may still be ahead of its time.

All bikes need to have some kind of center-hub steering front swingarm dealy. Telescopic forks need to go the way fo the dodo. :laughing:

The new Gold Wings might be big but they are fast and nimble as "poo poo"...not bulky and slow like some people think..

The padding on my seat has never prevented me from crashing but I sure wouldn't want to go without it.

It doesn't have to be a huge touring bike(i.e. goldwing) to have small things like an electronic windshield.
