    That's exactly why my front wheel doesn't reach for the sky - I'm happy with it hovering 6" off the ground...... That and I like my tail light, grab rail, rear cowl, etc.

    Ouch...
    My hands are tied,
    The billions shift from side to side,
    And the wars go on with brainwashed pride,
    For the love of God and our human rights....

    I learned my lesson this time last year on the ice, I'll continue riding through the wet and wind but once the frosts start arriving I'll be using 4 wheels instead. Fairings are tooooooo expensive.
