But do you have the metal balls hanging from the rear fender for that true French look. You'll have a long way to go to beat this Frenchmen from La Belle Province back in 2010....

I suspect that towing on an open trailer with no person behind the windscreen would put a lot more stress on that windscreen than normal riding.
Or maybe it was that PURE Michigan air?
Greg the windshield is still primo, just snapped five of the six plastic screws plus the chintzy plastic covers.
Brother Geezer in regards to your comment on PURE Michigan air, all Papa Chuy Viejo has to say on this subject is that you do not want to be standing downwind of Bust when he cuts a wet and greasy beer fart! jes' sayin' and nuff said!

Just call me "El Rey de Trailer Reinas", ever since I towed my 2003 FJR Miss Lucy Liu to Saratoga Springs to start Son Seth and I riding to Mont Tremblant in Quebec Province I have been sold on trailering to great motorcycle riding. At age 64 and a certified million miles on two wheels, 550K listed with the BMW MOA Club alone, I now just want to get to the good riding quickly. It takes 500 miles of desert to go West to ride the California coastline, 1000 miles due North of wastelands to get to the beauty of Idaho and 1500 miles to go East across freaking New Mexico and dust dry Texas to get to the twisties of Arkansas. Dudes, it just no longer thrills me to slab flat and boring miles on mi Moto when I can trailer my bikes to a kickoff point for the really great riding! Makes sense to Papa!

A fantastic and generous offer 0face, you are a Scholar and a Gentleman kind Sir. The windshield is fully mounted back onto Miss Naomie Harris, when Bustanut joker sobered up enough this morning to point me to the Owosso Hardware Store I picked up six Stainless Steel 5mm by 19mm screws. Bust makes his own FJR plastic washers and in five minutes I had the windshield reinstalled, when I get back home to Chandler, Arizona I will pick up the correct plastic screws from Yamaha Powersports Dealership. Tonight Barry and Chuy will get pictures of mi Motocicleta, with El Sombrero and Mexican flags mounted on beautiful Naomie!

I can't believe that I am agreeing with an Irishman... Although I am substantially younger than you (63) trailering a bike a couple of thousand miles to an area that you want to ride in is the way to go... Having an enclosed trailer with the bike out of the wind and elements while you sit in the air conditioned cab of your truck heading down the concrete slab is the only way to go... Leave the tedious boring miles to the common man like Old Michael! Why do I trailer my bike... Because I can.... and I don't feel the need to prove anything to anyone any more. Go for it Irishman!

Hola Jose, Son Seth and I will be back here from CFR Huntsville on Sunday evening 6/23. Come by to say hello, I have cases of Tecate cerveza in Sheila's fridge because I am trying to teach Bustanut joker how to drink real beer eh!
Bwwaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!! What in THE FREAKIN' HELL are you thinking, do you really think there's gonna be any cerveza left by the 23rd!!! Remember, Bust and Mizz Bust are guarding that fridge, which is like the fox guarding the henhouse. You Idjit!!!

Yep. +1, Gunny, and all that stuff. You are going to be thirsty.
My wife asked me why I speak so softly around the house. I said that I was worried that someone was listening. She laughed, I laughed, Alexa laughed.
I'm not gonna bust on you for you trailering to get to the good stuff. I've done enough of the boring shit to get to the good shit that I have your back on this one. In fact, I'm probably going to trailer down to EOM this fall. Mind you, if you trailered, oh, say, 200 miles like some corner burning, tire eating, blue bass boat riding guy, well then, your fair game.

I'm OK with enclosed bike trailers as long as it's not mine, I can borrow it, and it has a beer fridge in it! The one in the picture above is not Hoser approved. It must remain in the US.

Honestly, I started this but I trailer my bike all the time, I see no point in wasting 1,000 miles of a 3,000 mile tire that cost $200 on a slab....I would rather trailer and enjoy the fun roads with the bike...not to mention, if I trailer, I can get the wife / kid to drive and I can relax!
