(Seems like the street riders who frequent this thread don't look at the dirt threads?)

Hey viverrid... I was being sarcastic and yes, I did follow that thread with amusement...

And that looks like a fan in his lap? Certainly a lot going on there....

There is a lot. It's like the Highlights magazine (that some of us) read when we were children-- they always had a drawing with things (like fish and birds) hidden in it. The more you look, the more you find.

There's a large platform between the two sides of the handle bars

Uh, that maybe a laptop-- I think I see a USB port on the left side.

It's his ride, and he doesn't give a darn... good for him.

Sorry if 205, but I found this interesting actually.

Bad knees but didn't want to succumb to trikedom?

This should be posted in the Countersteering thread, that would give them something to argue about.

I see:

Deer whistles

Wind deflectors mades from automobile mudguards

That spray bottle may be ammonia water for dog protection??

Tassels

Spot rearview mirrors at the top of the windscreen, and what is that between them? A GPS?

Extra comfy seat cushion

Plywood rear rack. With an astounding array of baggage.

Turbo?? I thought that was factory advertising hype the first time I saw it.

This may well be the epitome of silliness, but it is a remarkable achievement. No worse, really, than "our" blings and farkles, but he looks happy...

I see two trifold aluminum frame cots acting as the framework for the crew roof/backrest /luggage pod. One is oriented fore and aft, the other folded transverse in an upside down U around the luggage. In places, the frame is tastefully wrapped with red electrical tape. Two ordinary wheeled suitcases are stacked on the bottom of the luggage pod. Dog only knows what's above them. For some reason, I imagine him to be Asian. Don't know why.

[Bill Harris]

Ah, yes. I can see the trifold cot frames now. I couldn't quite figure out what he used for the upper "framework". Clever.
