I have 3050 miles now . Met this man today on a 1500 dollar salvage C14 he pieced together , and painted himself along with seat work , and built trailer is on its testing runs . The rear wheel is a motorized unit mounted in reverse so he can have it drag him / C14 backwards like a goldwing . He made the carrier out of 6063 alum bent over a red oak tree stump . That is the part attached to the swing arm of the C14 .
He also built for summer a AC unit built into a side Givi case with Heat sinks mounted externally .
( not seen in this photo ) it powers his own home made cooling suit for summer riding . Here wears a winter jacket in summer to insulate the cooling suit .
Trailer has a center stand , and hydro brake unit that is linked to the hitch area

Had a great day of riding and socialising!
 
I'm going to be riding my snow blower later as we are expecting over a foot of snow today....it's snowing hard as I type.

As we are on a stay at home order, there's nowhere to go anyway.
Can you post up some pics of it snowing?
If ya can’t ride and ya can’t leave home just pretend and get a pic of the bike in the garage and a couple of pics of it snowing... just for your sanity!
:banghead:

Sure...for some strange reason my lap top is re-configuring any photos I take and they won't load up on the forum....I'll have to take a bit of time to re-configure my settings.....somehow....
 
Two house calls , 4 bikes . Two repaired , one zrx drag bike with bad battery, and my old ZX11D has sat to long @ brothers so needs some Carburetor cleaning.
Install hydro dipped valve cover on drag bike . Battery in the T Max . Rode 115 miles today , and slaughtered a BMW S1000R in a busy twisty area . He screwed up showing a wheel to me stuck behind a few cars revving his bmw .

I bet he felt a surprise the full cased up Tiger left his butt .

My brother likes the Tiger.
