We got the seniority list at work last week. Basically, they give this to us before the layoffs. For once in my life being old is a good thing. I am not at the top of the list, but close to it. This always bothers me. The first to go are the young guys and gals. They are our future. Heck, I would retire early, except I have children at home and an expensive hobby. That 19-inch "paid for" front wheel is looking really good right now. It will be on that bike for a looong time.
Frank's wanted me to send in a fork tube so they could match it. No problem, I pulled one off. The front wheel and fender need to be removed to install the fairing. This is a perfect time to fit the new tail and reshaped front. I did this, put on the monkey suit, and climbed on. The front view is shown.
Several things are apparent. First, I need to increase the front coverage. This will be done next year. Second, I need to tuck in my toes. Third, look at my eyes. They can barely see out from under my lid. I cannot get down and lower and still see where I am going. The helmet blocks the view. Is there a good helmet that gives forward vision for a guy tucked down low? See the side view. I need to get lower.
