The fabric is kind of annoying to fasten shut, because I was making it up as I put it together. When I have to take it off - I'll be lucky if it lasts the winter before desperately needing cleaning - I'll know how to make it more convenient.

Too warm really for this fall weather, so I'm normally riding "with the top down". It was nice to have for a couple of mornings last week though, when we finally got a frost. I think it will be the low 20's before I'll want long sleeves for my commute.

Yep. Very interesting. You should sell ad space on your fairing!

Gotta ask the obvious question - how do you signal a turn? Are there arm holes, turn signals?

Signal??? :eek:

Just kidding. It's not too restrictive to stick an arm out. Turn signals would be a good idea though.

At first I thought those pictures were of you wearing a weird shaped poncho until I reallized that was your fairing. Cool.
