Oh can you even show up with a sun screen so tiny?
I think you need more screen, down to about 3 " above the bottom, get yer weight DOWN.

'Tis good to see an X-Ratty driven in competition rather then just being stuck on stands!!

Are you being sarcastic John?

I can't see the hood even. I drive it to events and it sucks to have to put a hand up for an hour+ trying to block the sun. Easier to make it too big and be able to trim it down then the other way around. It's actually about perfect for my liking though.

Did a ghetto fix of the comp strut which entailed cutting the bent one and welding a piece of rod (used to make the pin stands usually) to make it straight and back to length. Of course, now I have to also replace the inner tie rod still that is bent and there is some other stuff that needs attention.

Good times. Looks like a chick's jacket, though. tongue sticking out smiley

(Don't mind me. I'm just jealous that you still needed a coat of sorts where you are.)

Actually it's a replica army issue ones for flying in the hold of cargo planes/troop carriers through the arctic. I rode all winter in temps as low as -15 without ever being cold thanks to this coat. Wind, snow, water, etc. It's burly, but it keeps me warm on the scooter year round.
It got into the 30s at night during the event. So much better temps during the day though compared to when it used to be in the end of July and 100 degrees during the day.
