In 1992 on the PRCA circuit riding bareback horses, I broke my neck. Did not parolize me but they drilled my skull and I wore a Halo unit for 8 weeks! My Orbital bone is still at a 40* slant. If I ride without blocking the wind, it puts a strain on my neck and I get one hell of a migraine headache! So if a windshield makes me look goofy or uncool then that's my issue! But it's ride with a windshield and enjoy something I love. Or sell both bikes!
