It's just me on the bike. I'm 100kg getting into the shower so I'm no lightweight either

Built for comfort, not for speed, I can certainly relate to that!  :grin

Okay, if it's just me on the bike I may or may not reduce the back tyre pressure down to 44psi...Most of the time I don't bother!

Yep. Whole family is built for comfort and not speed. We're Labrador people if that makes sense


Here's the 4th child.

New addition (driving lights) on the weekend. Have seen a bunch of skippys and deer on the road recently and wanted to properly blind them. These are 40 watts per side. They compliment the standard lights (with LED globes) really well.

I put a bolt through the mirror bracket as others have done but drilled a hole in the top, rather than the bottom of the mirror cover (sacreligious, I know).

Tried some other mounts but they flexed too much. These are rock solid.

Excuse the messy shed (I have young kids and no time)!

They won't just blind them, I reckon they will cook them!  :rofl

Yeah I tried them out tonight on the way home from work and spotted a hare more than 500m away. Just sensational. Little bit of adjustment and they'll be perfect.
