I must be old.

I took the windshield off mine for one 20 minute highway ride, and then I 
put it back on.  It's not bad putting around town without one, but once 
you hit the highway...

After I add the backrest, and saddlebags, I'm thinking a trip to Louisiana 
might be in order.  It's about a 5 hour drive from here, and I'm curious 
to see how my wife will hold up.  :-)
