The hardware shouldn't trigger airport security.

There goes you side venture as a drug mule... don't have a valid excuse for setting of the security...

On the upside you could always use the empty unused balloons as therapy to make animals at kids parties.
It's all win-win.Happy kids,money in pocket while getting free rehab.

The long acting anesthetic is starting to wear off. But I have Targin and Endone to manage the pain.
Cheers,

The pain is only in your mind, so forget about it.....


OK, its in your hand.  Hope the pain goes quickly, I was going to suggest hand exercises but thats not going to happen for a while.

I hope no-one else winds up in Hospital, or Diesel will see a conspiracy...  o:)

Good to get the operation behind you so the real healing can begin.

While the pain-killers are great, they ruin your head clarity.  Feeling like a zombie doesn't made reading or anything else much, very pleasant.  It's lousy when you can't even enjoy the time of enforced inactivity.

All my gear was picked up from the beautiful and charming Dee tonight.

Still on the way home and will unpack it all and get some washing done tomorrow perhaps. Medication dependent.

I've had a quick sort through the gear before hip pain stopped me.

One of the over mirror mounts is broken (by the state of my left hand I'm guessing it's the left) and the mount for that driving light is also bent. Haven't tested them for function yet. I'm thinking of getting a SUV so might hang on to the lights for that. Don't know yet.

I have the left hand pannier liner/bag which Lionel gave me so that will be free to a good home.

A two piece Gear Sack tank bag Kev Murphy gave me,  so that will also be free to a good home.

I have the Sena SR10 minus the push to talk handle bar button. (PTT button is available as an optional extra from Sena or suppliers.) The big button on the face of the SR10 is also a PTT button. $200 ono

The Interphone F5MC is still attached to the helmet. $250 ono
Sold to WendyL

To blue top box with carrier rack (complete with reflective stickers). $??? No idea what is worth. Doesn't have the mounting plate. Sold to Shiney.

Blue right pannier with only very minor scratches. (Normal wear, not accident related) $???

Blue left pannier with more scratches (accident related), but a buff and paint should sort those out. $???
Sold to Stimpy
 
The very confortable for a tall guy, Corbin Seat.  $200
Sold to JGlan10 (onesie)

The Air Hawk I might keep in case I need it for return to work with my Pelvis fracture. My office chair isn't all that comfortable.

The antenna bar With LED indicators and brake lights attached. $100 . sold to Stimpy in a bundle deal with the panniers

The air horn I might keep and fit to my car when I get it. :grin

I can't do post and packaging at this stage so pick up from my place at the moment.

Don't feel like a vulture. I've no use for it any more and want to see someone get some use out of it.

What do you think the panniers and top box would be worth?

I feel bad that I didn't remender to take my old seat in for Dee to take back to Guyra for Honk. I don't like having a fuzzy head.

That's the effect I was alluding to.  You've got to have the medication, but it would be nice to have a clear head with it.
Good to see you're functioning well despite it.

As a matter of interest, you mentioned using the Sena knob as a PTT.
How does it bluetooth to the CB?  Is there a UHF radio bluetooth module, or was it through a Starcom?

The Sr10 is a bluetooth hub which has hard wiring to the CB radio. Dale Maclean can sort the cable bit.
It then bluetooths to the helmet bluetooth unit. In my case the Interphone F5MC.
I'd recommend getting the PTT cable a it is so convenient to just use the thumb or finger on the left hand to activate the radio.
Cheers,
Gary

I'm interested in the Sena and F5MC, not in any rush so more than happy to wait until you're able to pack and send, or may possibly pick up next time I'm in Brissy.

cheers
