Re: [q] Wind protection

 
I agree with you.

A guy I used to work with was driving down I-94 and a piece of metal
(from a truck)  came through his car windshield and got him in the
neck.  He stopped his car, got out, sat on the shoulder, then woke up
in the hospital (hope I'm getting the story right).  Anyway, he kept
the piece of metal as a souvenir.  It almost killed him.  He lost a
bit of blood, among other injuries.

Generally speaking, you don't want to have plexiglass in a 75 MPH
windstream have any risk of hitting you in the neck or face.  There
are a lot of possible negative outcomes.

At least if you buy something (rather than make it), you can hope it
was tested.

I have a tombstone-style windscreen.  It developed a crack.  I had it
replaced within 7 days.  I just don't want to deal with stuff in the
eyes, face, and neck.

Your caution is I think the correct approach.  Wind pressure is pretty
substantial at freeway speeds.

Not entirely sure what you are getting at here?    If you are
referring to me as "you young," you should probably know that I am 53
years old and have been riding since I was 20.

If you're referring to me as someone who "can't" fabricate things,
then you've not been paying attention.
