First topic message reminder :

The last time i went to Tasi i fitted this screen . Hated it ,noisy ,deflect cold air onto my hands and was too big to take off and pack on a hot day .
One thing it did do was deflect rain . Still got wet ,but it took longer .

There is talk of another trip ( 4 weeks ) in march .I started to think i needed a small screen so when it rained i dont end up with a swimming pool
in the crotch area .I had to come up with a better screen to deflect rain but able to be packed away easily on a nice day .Looks unimportant .
I bought a $4 nylon cutting board as a screen and made some brackets .Looked a bit like this .You may laugh ,i have, but it just my work if i can fine
tune it .At $4 i can always throw it .

I made a smaller one (than above ) and the air flow hit me 100mm below neck it worked well but i melted it on a heater trying to dry the paint .
Remember i can only work on this a night outside .
Bought another $4 board but decided to make it bigger (above ) test ride .Terrible ,air stream hits me just below helmet .So noisy ,proves bigger isnt
always better .Planed the height down to the smaller original size .
Fitted it with wing -nuts so i can fit and remove without any tools .Its flat so it packs away .I can also lift the screen 80mm if weather really goes bad .
Its painted black so while in Tasi i can draw a map of Tasi on it (silver texta ) and get people to autograph it ,put on phone numbers ,messages ,well
anything anyone wants to .
When at home it will go on the wall as a memento of the trip ,and replaced with a $4 replacement .
Phillip Island trip will have the race track drawn on it .Turn 6 -Stood here ,groped a grid girl .Got into trouble .
Yet to test ride the new one .If it works i'll remake a pretty one .

I was ,trouble is i couldnt have small and rain protection . I only travel with one ventura bag so that does leave space the other side .
Ive got hand covers to put on ,as well as heated grips .I laugh at the cold ,ho ,ho ,ho ,Ha,Ha Ha. Evil or Very Mad Razz

May be i should take the car ,with two bikes ,it would be cheaper on fuel . Shocked Evil or Very Mad
