Don't get me wrong...most times the windscreen stays in my attic...I often do a 500 mile round trip from Kent to Devon and back in a couple of days...no need for a screen...but on such a trip as to the west coast of Scotland, the motorway is pretty unexciting riding and it's a good idea just to open the throttle and get it over with...in which case several hours riding at 90 tends to leave me with a pretty sore neck without a screen.
But, Jeez, it's an ugly thing though, I have to admit.
