    2016 R1200GSA Windshield

    Looking for suggestions to replace my OEM touring shield; it's awful at any height adjustment! The head buffeting is unbearable. I ride about 30% highway to get to the 'twisties' of North GA, NC, TN and SC where I spend the other 70%. I'm 6'0", 195lbs.

    New bike: F900XR or S1000XR -- best for luggage & vibes?

    How does it feel, satisfying your hunger to tour

    What is it about going on a long, multi-day tour that makes us want to keep going back? For me, I see daily life as doing what you need to do to survive, we work, we go about doing our chores, or running around doing what others expect of us for various reasons, and all the while, deep inside...

    I trust my 2006 R1200RT
