    You guys have it all backwards...Its a safety whip.

    As wind speed increases, whip pulls harder on front brake - slowing bike back to a safe 50 MPH.

    I have one installed for this very reason - never a ticket yet! :beer:

    Does your brake rotor double as a tail light at night?

    Nope, over 18 helmet is optional w/proof of medical insurance.

    Riding home from Austin, going North through Temple, traffic suddenly slowed the heck down from the avg 75mph with cars cutting left and right of the center lane. Some pierced and tatted up fool flat out on a little 'Vespa look-alike Asain scooter runnin' the legal minimum of 45!

    Chaps are the best wind-blocker out there. Has little or nothing to do with 'safety'.

    A Roadcrafter is the best wind blocker out there.

    Negative, ghost rider. I've ridden in both and, although I prefer my `stitch, the leather is less porous.

    That is state dependent.

    Oregon = Mandatory helmet
    Idaho = Optional

    Fair enough. Tejas.

    If the criteria is simply blocking cold air, a rain suit does a respectable job. A little weak on protection AND insulation though. :D

    Its an evil ploy by Harley Davidson to get sportbike guys to ask questions.:D

    It is kinda silly IYAM.....I'll still go with a few 1/4" nuts in my pocket:up:....not those nuts, but you know, steel ones that just fall out at the right time.:rolleyes:
