    Did you cop some of that hail earlier in the day?

    A really heavy downpour at Longburn. I don't think there was any hail in it. We chased the rain up the Wairarapa valley, as one does on a Z.

    Aye, one did on a Buell also. Had a fair blattering of hail here earler, cleared as I geared up and I had no more than a light sprinkle on the hill.

    Have tried one for size (don't find it too cramped as I've got short arms and legs) and sorting out riding a mates one for a day soon.

    Mirror extenders cheap on eBay. Have brought in 4 sets in the last wee bit and think the dearest I've paid was about $10us

    I can recommend Ermax, based on the hugger I got for my Z. (Paint by crazefox).
    Measure once, cut twice. Practice makes perfect.

    The owner's manual is bloody superb. One of the best bike manuals I've read. I've learned heaps, including how to remove both seat squabs.

    First modification done: pit stand bobbins attached.

    Now I need a pit stand.

    I've got one. I'll bring it in tomorrow. I know longer need it.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    And a pit.

    If those bobbins are plastic and don't have metal sleeves I hope you loctited the bolts. In fact I'd do it anyway.
