No screen on the Triumph. I tried one but it just causes weird helmet buffet and doesn't take enough wind blast off in cold weather to be bothered with.
The 500 has a decent screen akin to a modern-ish sport tourer in both riding position and wind blockage.

I live in the Hampton Roads area (Virginia Beach) and I basically never ride unless going west of 95 or up the eastern shore, because the local drivers here in Hampton Roads just flat out suck.

In NYC, it's crazy but they drive a certain way.. Same as Boston, and Chicago.

Problem with riding in Hampton Roads and DC, is nobody is from here, so they all drive how they did back home and it just sucks. Suzie from small town Kansas letting everyone go, followed by my wife from Queens driving my F-450 like it's a sports car. (I am married to basically Fran Drescher's younger sister with a side helping of Marissa Tomei from My Cousin Vinny), followed by a dude from CA not stopping at any light, and then the German Airforce neighbor who basically thinks shore drive in the Autobahn.. And that's just the four people on my end of the street.
