I bought this small Piaggio Original screen and find myself having to wear earplugs (not bad), ducking behind the screen, riding at wide open throttle (the engine sounds like it's going over the red line) and I find the speedometer over 65 MPH on flat roads, all like Nirvana on my small displacement scooter; however, I enrage the modified Honda Civic crowds passing me a few feet from my cowls! Should I resort to secondary roads?

You drive in San José? Where STOP signs are merely a suggestion? Sir, I salute your awesome bravery! Costa Rica is one of the most beautiful places on earth, but downtown San José traffic is a circus!

Indeed PeterC I try to avoid down town, night driving, intersections; too much liberty in the hands of novice drivers...
