The double bubble is ugly rant.

KikRox · August 1st, 2017, 08:29 PM

Why do folks advertise that they went out and bought one of these gawd aweful looking monstrosities and feel the need to list it in the advert? lol. yay you took the already great looking stock sheild off and downgraded to a $35 pile of crap that just uglified your bike. Totally a selling point. The first thing i would do if i got one of them is place it on the ground and firmly step on it so that way it would never be afixed to anything ever. Do the rest of the community a favor by not insulting their eyes with each pass.

feel free to retort but know that i will not be persueded.

I agree that they're not particularly attractive, but that's not really the point.

A discussion of bubble gum has no place on this site regardless of cost.

LOL.

Ralgha · August 2nd, 2017, 10:13 AM

I've been pondering getting one, but I'm worried that I won't like where it moves the air to. I do want to move the air up though, that's the real purpose of them.

VaFish · August 2nd, 2017, 10:19 AM

The ZG advertising says : "each windscreen has been sculpted to enhance the lines of each individual motorcycle."

It must be an improvement.

You could just go on eBay and buy an old Windjammer fairing/windshield, install an 8 track, GPS, and CB radio. Oh hell, just buy a Chevy Impala convertible.

Don't forget hand warmers and an electric vest.

The real double bubbles increase your top speed when in full tuck. Statiscally proven. The one I had on my 300 was good for 2 mph top end. Pretty damn important when racing on a big track. That said, there is absolutely no other reason to buy one.

Really? I'm going to have to look up rulebook to see if that's allowed in my races.

Well now I'm going to put one on my Harley if it will give me 2 MPH more speed.

DannoXYZ · August 3rd, 2017, 10:48 AM

Looked up rulebook and it says double-bubbles are allowed! I'm ordering one today!

People got a right to use the washroom man! Even freaky alien people in 3/4 helmets with a wreckless disregard for their face. You're right though a little nair and a onesie, she may scrub up nice.

That glowy bondage heart candle thingie is just a aiming point for Ganesha's weapons, plus his mouse will distract girly motorcycle jesus.

I will put a carton on the elephant god.

Disclaimer: if girly motorcycle jebus turns up in leathers, boots, gloves and a decent helmet I may have to renegotiate the terms, if so then I'm only willing to go a 6 pack on Ganesha.
