If you think you will be going for just short drives I'd get the
Brookland screen and pass on the folding screen ( Its a little hard to
carry the windscreen if your on a long trip and want to drive with the
brooklands ) . Around town I do as Fred and just pull the screen off the
car and run with the Brooklands
If you want another option , pull the screen off and stop by a Harley
Davidson shop and pick up a pair of aviator goggles ( approx $25.00 ).
The most memorial drive I ever had was in the Yukon driving down the road
with screen down, mountains on the horizon and moose on the side of the
road .
By the way Barney Gaylord has set up a web site on the Alaska 97 Run to the
Sun .
He has over 240 pictures complete with captions and maps of the trip with
lots of photos of John and Gladys' 4/4 and yours truly and the Duchess.
