Don managed to snap off the windscreen of his POS GenIII while it was still on the trailer being towed to Owosso. We are not sure if it was the bike resisting going to Owosso or if the new windscreen design is not as robust as the vastly superior and technologically advanced Gen II AE that I have.
I'm sure BeemerDons or Bust will be along shortly to provide all the details.

I'm guessing he hung his coat on the windshield. That'd be like putting a circus tent on it.

We shamed Steve in to buying a couple of pricey banquet tickets and now he is all pissy.

Hey, at least you get the option to by one of the 2013 demo bikes with the excess from the banquet

Actually the real issue was the dingle balls that he had put around the edge of the windscreen... You know how those wanna- be Mexicans are about decorating their bikes. Those little dingle balls were just flapping in the wind and the plastic finally gave up. I bet he has a sombrero that is DOT approved for riding!

Does this mean that since the windscreen let go at about 60 miles per hour, that Don has never had the bike above 50????

Well his BMW's won't go above 60, and theirs just no way the Yamaha is faster than one of his koolaid bikes.

Alright you Jokers, I'll have you know that I was all the way up to 65mph when the windshield snapped. I would not consider riding an FJR without dingle balls and tres Mexican flags, es Verdad ese! Check out 'Zilla's FJR sometime, he has an El Toro Piñata hanging off of his windshield, AJ es un muy malo Hombre ese!

I wish I'd have known you were gonna be at Bust's...I'd have taken the day off to ride up there just to laugh at you in person

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!

I would do that...but I've got an 8:00 a.m. doc appt on the 24th.

So, did the windscreen break or did it just break free from the plastic screws?

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?

Please....let's don't overlook the real thing to ridicule him about.....

This is what I was thinking, but then I've never met the man and didn't feel I could point fingers...and since I'll be at CFR, I didn't want him pissed at me!

I suspect the real villian was probably air wash created by the vacuum formed when,,,,,, oh sorry, no one wanted a serious answer?

Carry on.

If the truth be told this is how our Mexican wanna-be is getting to Owosso...

It it repairable or gone? I take a GenII windscreen won't fit a GenIII?

My understanding is that the windscreen was a complete redesign for 2013 and are not interchangeable.

A "big Macho Hombre" like our papa Chuey, "We don't need no steenkin windshields"

I have a GenII in my basement. It's seen some miles but I can ship it ahead to where you'll be, if you want. Perhaps it can have a couple holes drilled or whatever to make it fit.
