      My vote is for gustovh. That GS looks like it came to this decade via a time machine. You occasionally see a Vetter fairing and luggage set from that period that has made it through to today. But a Pacifico fairing with lowers and Samsonite luggage on the same 80's bike? Rare...very rare.

        My vote goes to Redman Dave this week. The most interesting use of a fairing, LOL.

            Sorry to pop your bubble but the fairing is a Hannigan Sport Touring.

              Even more rare. Did the fairing and Samsonite come with the bike?

                Just the fairing, in pretty good shape too. Rich gets my nod this week. Getting hard to choose.

                  Although i think Rich should get Post of the Year for his Steve Buscemi meme i will vote for Cowboy and his Bandit fairing.
                  Makes me want to head down that road.

                    Voting for mr. Dpep. I don't think that's the weirdest thing he's strapped onto his bike though. I think I remember a picture of a plastic chair?
