How on earth can you stand riding in that weather? What do you wear--mukluks and seal skin?

I don't have a shield for money reasons though....Not because I don't like how they look or am at all concerned about stability issues with em.
If you do ever get a windshield on your bike, you will probably find you will be less fatigued after a long ride.
I'm certain I will. And I do plan on getting one at sometime.

Granted I wasn't a world traveler on the old kanatuna before I got the c50, but the way the wind beat me on that thing, compared to the nekkid cruiser was astonishing.

I've either gotten stronger from the riding I did, or just don't notice it now though.
