I was the lead designer on the Vetter Terraplane II project in 1981.<br /><br />That shot of those troops on a railroad bed brought back old memories. We used to use an 400 foot section of abandoned railroad spur next to the Vetter factory to test out fairing mounts. Riding over those ties was so grueling that that two lengths of the "track" were about all we could count on from one rider at a time. It became a task shared by the two test riders, the design/engineering staff, andd anyone else who would step up.<br /><br />We broke the frame on two GoldWings. <br /><br />Lew Morris<br />Pismo Beach, CaliforniaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
