yep, highlights are just finishing encoding - hey what brand are those bendy mirrors do you know? They look pretty effective for mishaps - do they vibrate any when riding?

The bendy mirrors are great for mishaps, they are however totally useless as mirrors, no more vibration than normal, but they flop over at the slightest breeze! Im going to have a look and see if they tighten up in any way under the rubber cover, if not i have a friend Mr Rubbish Binnie that they will be removed and thrown at!

Stupid floppy mirrors.......... Grrrrrr

Good stuff.

I like slow technical stuff, I don't get yelled at for being too slow

Yeah, it was a shame we missed you guys. It was a really good weekend, Saturday's 4WDing yielded some tracks that would be suitable for an adventure-trail overnighter

Parked up on the highway, we were wondering where you were, not like the OJ machine to NOT be behind us, hope the bike is running well now for this weekend
