I've just bought a Harley Heritage Softail Classic. Is there anything you can do about the air turbulance behind the windshield. It knocks my head around when you get about 60 mph. Is there anything you can do?

I own a 2004 Fatty ,I recently went to the dealer and had them inspect my front tire,2 mechanics happened to be standing out side having a smoke ,and I asked their opinion on the life left on my front tire, I told them that it had 9400 miles on it and they both commented on how good the tire looked for that many miles,they went to the service manager,and he brought out the depth gauge and checked it ,he then told me that it was under harleys recommendation for safe tire depth. So I went to a smaller bike shop in town who replaced my rear tire (8300 miles and still looked good) for about 125.00 cheaper than the HD dealer (identical tire,dunlop HD 402)He told me after inspecting it, that his opinion was that it had three or four thousand miles left on it. So heres my question ,is there a...

I hope the guy wasn't hurt. It's about as good as the SV650 video going around I posted a while back where the guy runs into a tree.

At one time, there was a link to a vid clip (here in Bike Talk) that was a helmet cam showing a bike coming up to an intersection and a car just changing lanes, THEN blaming the biker until the vid came to light....anyone remember it?? I can't find it and would like the clip for a motorcycle safety brief....directed at cage drivers!! HELP@@@ Thanks

Saw it on John Kasik's "Heartland" on Fox news. These guys ride to funerals where vets who've given their lives in Iraq/Afghanistan are being buried. Seems there's a group of really fanatical religious extremists that go to these funerals and spout vial comments like it's God's wrath on America. They revel in the loss of American lives. Really doesn't make any logical sense what they spout, but it's absolutely vial. These freedom riders show up, rev their engines (with the family's permission only), and drown out the "protesters". I'm not sure I ought to join 'em, though. I think I might be too tempted to start shooting the idiots, drown their comments with gunfire.
