Default Antenna Delete?

Do you keep the antenna on?
Or take it off, I like it off!

It doesn't need park distance control, and hates decadence. It is musclepacked, yet lightly wound. It lets you feel the asphalt and get you going with the smallest touch of the pedal. It provokes, seduces, and demands to be driven hard. It looks, sounds, and smells like performance.

I replaced my OEM antenna with a stubby version that's about 3.5". I like how it looks and I still have fairly decent reception.
