Troy the Troll - 27 Sep 2004 04:33 GMT

I don't usually carry a camera, and when I do I don't
usually take many pictures, but what the hell, I thought I
would throw a few up just for fun.

Getting ready to go have fun!

Shawn and I at Second Creek.This was about all the lean
angle required to slide the bike this particular evening.

Looking down into Estes Park, flatlanders need not worry
about those white things in the background, they wouldn't
know what they are anyway. For those not as deprived, its
the entrance to Rocky Mt NP off in the background.

Troy,

Can I ask you, where did you get the large screen on your SV? Is this a
thing that you use just for cruising? I guess you must have looked around
to acquire such a screen, it seems to me a pretty good thing to have. Would
make cruising very relaxed.

Its a National Cycle Plexifairing III, got it on ebay, I'm pretty certain
its a standard National Cycle product. It wasn't built just for the sv so I
had to do a little more "fitting" than something built just for it, but it
was the only thing big enough to keep me entirely in still air during the
cold weather months.

Plus its got a great package to bolt itself down, handlebars, forklegs, plus
it braces against the turn signals the way I've got it rigged. Comes off
with a power screw driver in about 2 minutes, goes back on in 3. I've had
mine up to about 100mph to make sure it doesn't compress back in against the
bike and it did fine. The only problem is it takes away some of the quick
steering characteristics, and in a fair cross breeze you can occasionally
feel it working against you, but nothing big at all.

Thanks, I'm going to hunt around and see what I can find!

Ah... I really enjoyed Rocky Mtn NP when I rode through there a few years
ago. Good stuff.

She was on top of 4 feet of concrete, and was bracing the camera on some big
blue plastic water filled crash barrier thingie. Not particularly brave, but
smart.
