shoulda bought a bigger one

Wind screen that is. I got my new wind screen in the mail today. Put it on this evening. Although it seems very effective compared to no wind screen I wish I'd a bought the bigger one. The one I purchased was the 17"w x 19"tall. I measured beforehand and it seemed OK. I've ridden with wind screens in the past and have always enjoyed to coverage of the larger ones. On well.

I use this method to size my shield:

I used to get big wind screens, but they become a liability in the rain if I can't see over them. In my case, I'm better off with a full face helmet and wiping the rain of the helmet's shield.

Another thing that will protect you from wind/bugs/rain/bird poop is hand guards (barkbuster) and handlebar mits (hippo hands)

And next week, something new.. I'm sixty, I've been well acquainted with the word OOOPS, and for a time I was able to shrug and say Live and learn. Then one day it occurred to me that I was gonna be Really OLD before I'd made all the mistakes.
