    Nope. Bruising only happens over time.
    Run it over and put it down even within an hour and it should be all good.
    No blood pumping, no subcutaneous bleeding.

    Mmmmmmmm.....

    Tool Box Options

    I have just bought this from Plumbing World. It cost $26.30. I just need a way of mounting it to the brackets on the DR650. Any ideas guys please? I am sure some of you have done this already....I will give it a lick of enamel paint and see what I can do for mounting on the bike.

    Radio Comms

    Anyone (and mates!) set up there their bikes for bike to bike (or wider) comms ? I mean aside from cell phone, more like radio maybe PRS/FRS or bluetooth ?
    I have noticed that Sena (and others) have some pretty trick gear now but is there ANY installed base/convention amongst ADV Riders ?

    Rosie & I have a setup with some 2W Uniden radios, power wired into the bikes, PTT on the bars. Main issues have been wind noise - noise cancelling mics help but still not much shot over 80km/h - and connectors, tried mini DIN, USB, both flaky, about to wire in 2x RCA & try that.

    Cheers
    Clint

    Anyone recommend a good liteweight camping chair? Must have proper back support- not a slouch type seat.

    We got a couple of Helinox chairs recently: https://www.bigagnes.com/Products/De...y/HelinoxChair
    They pack really small, and seem pretty comfortable... but we haven't had a chance to use them in anger yet
    The road to hell is paved...

    The Sena's work well, but only with other Sena's I think? (I have only used them with other Sena's) great audio quality for MP3 playback too...

    I've just made my first V strom bash plate took me 7 hours

    Looks good but they are a lot different to the Dr's so much longer and you see a lot of gap as there is so much stuff forward of the engine
    Also the exhaust hangs down so low so had to joggle the bash plate to get around the pipes
    I'm happy with it though I will post some pics at some stage.

    So far ive fitted new Shinko E705 tyres/ Givi crash bars / Hand guards / Driving lights/ Muffler . I made the light bar yesterday
    Contact me for all your Suzuki DRZ400 And Dr650 bash plate needs. Made to order
