Round at the front... pointed at the rear. Streamlining allows less power to take us farther and faster. The pioneers of streamlining were at AMA Vintage Days, Lexington, Ohio

The second-to-the-last Vetter Fairing is aluminum

Streamlining is the future.
June 19, 2010: We rode 126 miles on California Highway 101 in ferocious winds. Me on my streamlined Honda Helix. Alan Smith on his streamlined Honda CRF 230. See what happened.

Denver Iron Butt
National Meet
I will share my stories of motorcycle design with the World's Greatest Long Distance Riders
My goal has been to make motorcycles better transportation. The Windjammer Fairing, Vetter Luggage, Terraplane Sidecar and Hippo Hands are my inventions.
But one invention never made it to the market: My Magic Seat Board of 1973. It is so effective, your butt will never hurt again. In fact, if you ride with it, the Iron Butt Association may have to consider changing its name (Comfortable Butt Association... Happy Butt?) ... or adding an extra zero to the miles you ride.
I will bring a couple of Magic Seat Boards to give away. After that, you can make them at home. They are really quite simple. Why didn't I put them on the market years ago? Find out at the Banquet.
I plan to ride in on my KLR with an ALCAN fairing prototype. We are going to talk about burning less fuel, too. See you in Denver.
