Truly XSive?

[MAXIMAN]

At TeXSive this year some saw my "cockpit" and said ..."That's more instrumentation than a 737!"

I think it was Andrew's dad being he's a pilot.

Any way it got me to thinking about what I could add.

Then Dan Hodges was standing there looking at this cluster (literally ) just shaking his head (hehehe)... He was amazed at all the gauges and said "Hell...All it needs now is an altimeter!"

Geeeee...Dan Hodges has the coolest ideas....dontcha think?

[dragxs11]

dont forget your chatterbox so you can keep me up to date on changes in barametric pressure

[dragxs11]

Further more... I guess if I had all that real estate up there I'd load it up too. Very nice, I'll get a closer look in about a week.

What you're seeing is only about 1/2 of all the new stuff I've rigged up on Zilla since you saw it last year. Zilla is starting to take on the image of a freak...I may have to send him to the Zoo.

How much time do you spend looking at the road??

[MAXIMAN]

Very little. As well I don;t spend anytime looking at the gauges either. I'm usually gawking at the scenery...not smart either. But hey what is road trippin fer?

[BlkMage]

This mught be a newbie question, but how did you hook up a gas gauge? Isn't there that big hump in the middle of the tank?

[MAXIMAN]

Eh yeah...actually that is a gauge for my aux fuel cell.

You can see it in gross deatil here:

An F-22 Raptor has nothing on this bike, totally XScessive.

[Dragonrider]

...except vectored thrust, for those TIGHT parking spaces . Oh, and stealth technology to avoid cop RADAR would be nice as well.

I don't need no stinkin' artificial HORIZON! Besides...MY ATTITUDE IS JUST FINE!!!!!

I do have some counter-electronic (read RADAR) capability. The box on top of the console....it's a V1 in a weatherproof case.

[xschop]

RADAR?

WHO NEEDS A RADAR DETECTOR WHEN YOUR BIKE LOOKS LIKE THE FUZZ? SERIOUSLY MAXI'S BIKE HAS EVERYTHING BUT A PORT-A-POTTY....I THINK.....

MAXI'S BIKE HAS EVERYTHING BUT A PORT-A-POTTY

That's why, for long trips, I wear "Depends"

[TopCatGr58]

Max's ATTITUDE gauge is his rear view mirror, all he has to do is look into it to see the S.E.G. on his face, yeah he's got attitude!
