Here's Red in the courtyard at BRNG today. What I learned is I'll have a chance to ride Blue when it's back in town next month.

I talked to their business lead, Jesse Fittpaldi, and learned that they are looking at some plastic for the windshield that has optical clarity and UV resistance; and a coating to take a windshield wiper's abrasion. I think the wiper will be big deal, Rain-X notwithstanding.

I got my chance to suggest one with Indian motorcycle fenders and black leather saddlebags with fringes. But I forgot to mention the Cyclopean headlight.
