With or Without Motorcycle Windscreens
There is an extant argument about windscreens. Some riders are
against the idea of having them in their motorcycles. On the
other hand, there are riders who appreciate the importance of
having these motorcycle accessories.
Which perspective are we going to consider? Are we going to
travel with or without motorcycle windscreens?
Most riders are not used to riding with windscreen on their
bikes. This is because they find it a barrier in riding. At
times, this can be truthful. In fact, when you travel at
nighttime, you will probably have difficulty in seeing through
the windscreen because the reflections of dash lights are
reflected back at you. Aside from being a hindrance,
motorcyclists are finding it injurious in cases of accident
where the head can be forced down by it.
The most probable target is the eyes since it's the closest
sensitive part to the windscreens. Just the thought of having
your eyes injured is dreadful. This is why we have fewer and
fewer riders having windscreens around.
Windscreens make us feel dizzy especially when there is poor
visibility and wrong angle. What makes them more detesting is
the fact that it hinders you. So we think that it will probably
be better if we don't have it at all.
The other fraction of riders is in
support of having
windscreens. I for one, like having them with me during long
rides especially when it is very windy and the possibility of
being destructed by rain, wind, bugs, insects, dust as well as
light's glare.
A number of riders have same habit as mine. They also want to
keep away from the aforesaid riding destruction so they treat
their windscreens as their buddies.
The question now is: Is bigger always better? Nowadays, trend
must have made obvious the bigger and bigger windscreens. These
larger-than-life windscreens look good. However, looks are not
the only basis why we want them in. In fact, we also consider
wind resistance. And wind resistance is not only where the wind
will hit. There is also resistance caused by the vacuum just
behind the windscreen. Thus, the faster the bike run and the
bigger the windscreen you have, the more weight you take off the
bike's front tire. This results to poor traction or function of
weight. The bike becomes slow and steering becomes unworkable.
Another drawback is that larger widescreen sweep around rider's
grips. Now, decide. Are you going to make a compromise?
