Ride to work

[Daryl_stamp]

Had to stop & take some pics on the way in. Hit a bat with the windshield & thought a stop for pics would get enough daylight to see the deer.
Location is Fingerlakes Region of New York.

Wow!

That should be in the next BMW brochure. Great Pic!

This is a super picture. I hope you don't mind but I grabbed it for my album.

This reminds me that I wanted to suggest that maybe we post pictures of our bikes in classically regional settings to make up an r1150r album.

For example, living in New England I rode by a gorgeous flaming orange-leafed tree yesterday (but didn't have my camera at the time).

I'd planned on getting a snapshot of my R near the North Bridge in Concord, MA (where the colonials turned back the brittish in 1775).

Thoughts? I'd love to see some pics of your ride at home in your region!

Daryl,
Very Nice pictures. What kind of shield is that? Fits the bike very well. I must come up with some creative shots as well.

[Bry]

Top shots!

Really like the first one... well done!

Great shots, I like the first one a lot. Also you have a much nicer ride to work than I do.

Did you take that at Fair Haven State Park? Sure looks like it. I grew up 5 miles from here and a fair share of my Summers in that park. Upstate NY sure has some lovely scenery.

Thanks for sharing.

I like your fairing, what kind is it and do you have any other shots of it from other views?

[ScooterCop]

you should turn off the time/date stamp.

What kind of fairing is that?

A German outfit called Fallert makes those. Thet don't import as far as I know. Mines hanging on the garage wall waiting for me to find a taller screen for it. The stock one puts the air right up under my chin.

[Daryl_stamp]

I worked in heavy gage vacuum forming for a long time.
I wouldn't mind having a taller / less curved one myself.
I may be 'home-brewing' a prototype over the winter in polycarbonate as I still have sereral contacts in the business.
Will let you know if I get around to it & it works out well.

Keep me posted on your progress. If you're willing to make two prototypes perhaps we could share the cost. I really like the Fallert and had plans to install a little accessory panel inside and put lights in those lower grills, but I need to get out of that airflow. I though a taller screen with a lip at the top like Zero Gravity does would do the trick, but I don't have the skills to make one myself. I think a screen could be custom bought, but it would be in acrylic which is evidently easier to work with.
