RMAF report from imagic of the AVSForum

In case any of you wanted to know more about RMAF.

I was getting over a bad cold, only went for one day, so my review of RMAF would be pretty Meh. Though I did run into Jeff of Arabica and a couple of his California friends there which was nice.

I'll have some pictures and maybe a bit of video when I'm feeling up to downloading and processing it all.

I'm seriously considering taking an Uber to the motorcycle shop where my motorbike has been sitting for the past 4 months, and stealing it back and taking it down to Peoria.

Then I'm trying to get up the courage to do an "Iron Butt 1000" and ride from Peoria to Denver on a naked motorcycle in less than 24 hours....

I owned my first motorcycle.... without a fairing/windshield - for about 10 minutes...! A couple miles down the interstate on a summer day in MO and I had had enough - never again. Fairing and windshields from that point on. Peoria to Denver, October... no wind break... you either be one tough MoFo or one crazy somebeach...! Grin

I've owned motorcycles since 1978 in Ohio and Texas. . . and have never owned one with a shield or fariing. Rented one that way once. . . not for me. To be honest I'm both a tough mofo and a crazy somebeach.

been riding since the early 70's myself. at this point, no shield or fairing is fine... around town. once I get out on the interstate for long hauls... the abrasion and drilling of sand, rocks, bugs, junk flying out of the back of pickups, debris kicked up by tractor/trailers, wind buffeting, etc ... just gets old and tiring, not to mention dangerous. and my eye-candy in the b-seat demands as much comfort as possible to boot or she ain't participating.
