An antidote for all those trailer queen TRX shots

Post by dfh » Wed Mar 23, 2011 7:37 am

.... this is what a TRX looks like after battering its way through a locust plague @ the end of a 4500km tour...

Had the visor closed, but because I had a tank bag on the bike ducking down under the screen was difficult. Did over 900km on the last day and first came across the locusts on remote back-roads so I could cruise at a speed well north of the posted limit in a mild tuck so the critters bounced off the fairing & over my head. When I had to ride on the main highway I had to pay attention to the speed limit things were much worse as I ended up peppered with the things. Not only did they cover the visor with their "sauce", but hit like hailstones on the helmet and jacket, both noisy & uncomfortable. And did I mention the smell as they burnt off the engine :puke:

...and scarfacehugo.. done close to 119,000km on the TRX so 4500km in 6 days is pretty reasonable. My "crew" of old farts meet once or twice per year for the primary purpose of fanging around on motorcycles by day, then eating, drinking & telling tall tales by evening. This autumn it was the Snowy Mountains, about 1000km from my house so its similar to going from London to the Pyrenees in a day for a few days of furious riding... but with no channel involved.

Great shot! Would have been "interesting" in an open-faced helmet!

SOOO close to having it sorted, but the calibration is out currently, but it "mostly" works. Spits out power + torque curve @ rpm.

I hate to think what it would be like to hit locusts at the same speed I hit those bees at.... 8-[
