End of season (for most) ride??

ANyone??
I'm think of riding down to Meadows of Dan next Thursday, back the next day.
It's about 350 miles, and 180 miles of Blue Ridge Parkway.
On a Thursday, the 45 mph speed limit is mostly a guide line :lol:

Can you give a better description?
Are you sure it was a cut down, or was it adjustable?
Or was it an aftermarket for a naked bike?
Color?

I'll be riding to New River NAS next week.. Be out on Emerald Isle


and I know what a CLC is, was just wondering about a description of the bike other than "Cut down windshield"

That's the James Bond Special bike... all 49 HP..
 
You can't just get a sling and ride on down the road with it on your back?

Don't forget the bandolier of shells, too.

I used to strap a SCUBA tank to my back and ride down the trails to the beach... :shrug:

yeah, stupid 15 y/o...

Folks that don't ride usually can't see bikes at all so "windshield cut down in the middle" is amazingly accurate and descriptive

I was struggling to try to figure where else the windshield might be. :killingme

Could have been cut out on the side near the top, or on the side of the side:killingme, figured i would state " top center" because there would be at least one a$$ jack who would get lost without the detail :buddies:

Not sure Bob, it had compartments on the side like saddle bags, luggage rack on the back and the windshield had a little smoke color to it but it looked like a solid,factory windshield with about a 2"-3" dip right in the middle where the guys eyes were lined up; never seen it before.

That looks like the bike APS but the windshield didn't look as contoured as the one in your picture does, seems if the cut out wasn't as rounded. Guess I should have paid more attention to it.

I have a FXDLI and the windshield is shaped like an old tombstone, square across the bottom and rounded at the top, the BMW was cut down in the middle, just looking for an answer as to why it would be like that.

Oh, I thought you were talking the location of the windshield itself.:killingme
