Messing around with an idea

[veech_imp]

I understand and applaud your desire to fabricate something but have to agree with what JustPassinThru touched on. Let me be a bit blunt - it doesn't give me a warm feeling to be that close to a thin metal sheet that, in a get off would slice through whatever part of me went sliding by.

What's wrong with that? You could complement the "Wind Shear Screen" with a "Castrator Rack" from an old Triumph fuel tank.

Made me think of a story I just have to share, a little off topic, but still related (snowmobiles instead of motorcycles.)

A buddy of mine (Lou) has land up in Eagle River WI. We ride the bikes up there to stay at the cottage, snowmobile and dirt bike the beautiful trails. Lou always has the fastest toys. One year he was up snowmobiling with a buddy of his on the latest, most powerful snowmobile available (don't remember what kind it was, doesn't matter). Lou's buddy wanted to try out the fast bike, so they switched machines and went riding.

After a while Lou looks in the rear view mirror and doesn't see his buddy, so he doubles back to find him. Eventually he sees the snow bike wrapped around a tree and his buddy lying on the ground near by. He was alive, but injured. Apparently he ran into the tree and went flying over the handlebars. Along the way the handlebar caught just right and RIPPED HIS LEFT NUT OFF!!! Lou rushed him to the hospital and he was eventually OK, but ever since then he has had the nickname 'Old One Nut'. This is a TRUE story (still makes me cringe every time I think of it.)
