Any fairings I have on my bikes are small. If I wanted to look through a windshield, I'd buy a convertable.

I have a big, bad Windjammer. I don't look through the windshield. I don't know why you guys assume that all big fairings are meant for the windshield to be looked through.

And a recap from the GSR sports polls...
Large Fairings, 1.
Small Fairings 6.
It seems that the popluar opinion expressed by these fine folks is that we like a little wind, we don't mind the rain, and kamikaze June Bugs just help to give our leathers that cool weathered look.
You see, motorcycling without the elements is like beer without alcohol. It's like a veggie-burger, or sex with a condom - enjoyable to some degree, just not quite right.. He11, it's like a GS with no charging problems!!
No, seriously - everyone's got their own tastes. If Magictom (this post was about somebody else originally, wasn't it Nick?
) wants a large fairing, then he should get one, and by all means. If you're more comfortable behind your Fisher Price Deflect-O-Matic, then I'm more than happy for your added comfort and confidence in shaking your fist at mother nature. But I'll stick with my small plastics, and will enjoy myself nonetheless, knowing that I own a bike with a less than upright riding position, looking forward to a certain amount of wind to keep my weight off of my wrists.
So again, at 6 - 1, I imagine that common sense truly isn't all that common now, is it?

It doesn't bother me at all to be outnumbered in this forum. The 6 of you will, if you continue riding long enough, come around to my point of view. It's only a matter of time.
I taught math for 30 years; common sense is indeed uncommon -- the least common of the senses... Intelligent people eventually acquire it, in due course.

Public school or private, Nick? Did you earn your paycheck, or simply win a few rounds in the tenure lottery?

That would be considered an insulting question by most people in my former profession; I'll let it go, however, and dismiss it as an expression of a young man's typical lack of wisdom.
To answer your one legitimate question, and the thoughtless one, go to the following: http://www.ama-cycle.org/features/nickdiaz.asp

"He who can does; he who cannot teaches."
As usual, you get things wrong. What Shaw actually said is this:
"Those who can, teach. Those who can't, go into much less significant lines of work".
Let's stop this crap right now, QuaiChangKane.

I agree. This is getting way too personal.

Nick, you are ok. Teaching is an honorable profession. You are just a little misguided on shafts and fairings. But that is ok too! :lol:

Whatever, Nick. I'd imagine that someone with such compassion for teaching would be less of a jerk.
It's one thing to be adamant about a particular viewpoint, and another entirely to start throwing around insults simply because someone disagrees with you.
But it's all in fun - I still love you, Nick. But you don't return my phone calls anymore, and it makes me feel like the night we shared in Bali was meaningless and trivial. I'll still remember you at Christmas, but I don't think I can bring myself to send you anymore lingerie....
Keep on keepin' on, GSers.

As I said, and seconded by Cragar, let's end this right now. I did not throw any insults at you or anyone else. It is you who has insulted me, and I have dismissed it as unimportant to me.
You continue doing that. Your last paragraph was uncalled for.

That was an attempt at an end, Nick. The last paragraph was comic brevity - I would imagine that neither of us has the funds for a homosexual rondezvous in Bali, and that nobody here actually believes that I would know whether or not you had a preference for lacy undergarments.
I don't dislike you, Nick, and I wish you no ill will. Everything I've said was done so in an attempt to show you that not everyone will stand for being chided and spoken down to - even on the internet.
Lighten up, man - and I'll do the same.
Peace, love, and unity.

I was not amused by that last "attempt". Thanks for ending this. Contrary to what you may think, I do not and did not put down anyone.
Whether or not you like me or dislike me is of no consequence to me. I hope this is the end. All of a sudden you were kidding, eh? I don't buy it. Not that it matters, because, to me, you certainly do not.

Why dint you back off and go practise some wing chun. Calling someone a jerk is not an attempt to end something
We have been fighting with nick for years about fairings, shafts and saddle bags. I hate fairings but i will buy a kz1300 soon with a windjammer that looks like it came off a ferry boat because it is sensible to have when doing long touring. My other 2 bikes are chain driven and naked.
Now pleas lets stop this shit. and i will ask the other fellows on the site to help me put and end to this pointless name calling.
The remarks that nick made about foolish youth are common and very accepted in this website. Insulting his profession and his person really stinks also. I have been a teacher hater for most of my life and still find you remarks to nick((the old fart :lol: )) way out of line.
Lets cool it guys
