brother, you are official part of Team Power Ranger.

Team members so far:

Spider
Dock

I did the calculations on the new Sidi Vortice - they went from 3 per shoe adjustments (Vertigo Corsa) to something like 8 or 9 each shoe! and now the first person that buys them changes them for that exact reason.

Seriously Sidi, use me as a test pilot!

fark me Matty do they come with batteries

Looks like the came from a Star wars film

I think they are the ones I've/we've seen over at Frasers.
Might see if they have them on sale on the Official Opening day.
At least I'm pretty sure they are the ones I've seen, I can't find a photo of the other side which will help me confirm. 

Scratch that they are not the ones I've seen.

I can drop my battery subscription to duracell.

I'm sending out a membership form to you Matty, welcome aboard to Team Power Ranger!

Haven't laid out any $$$ yet just been looking at them.
But as I said I now don't think they are the ones I've seen.

AA's on hold for now.

Here is a pic of the ozmonster guys meeting with the Harley owners group on their last ride.

no way! check their knees: pucks, check their elbows: armour.....they aren't harley/augusta riders! 

(sorry WA about the constant harley/MV crap - I'm just bitter and resentful, a great Italian brand being taken over - well......)

HOW TO LOWER A BIKE FOR $500 USING ONLY A 10MM SPANNER.

So my old boots are a bit worn.  My bike is a little tall.  Bike shops want to sell me a new bike that is lower. 

My solution: 


I did have to learn how to adjust the gear lever - buy more tools.

And now have to break in a new pair of boots - ouch.

Imported them myself for $100 cheaper than the so-called Oz agent who didn't  really want to put an order in for me anyway.

And learning how to post this damn photo took longer than all of the above 

No Pic H. !!

Took me a while Dragon.

Seems I'm more challenged technically than mechanically or vertically   

Diadoras !! SWSBO was looking at those too ! 

?Diadoras?  Daytonas.  Are they the same thing?

Not cheap.  Thought about for long time but my current boots (BMW) in urgent need of replacement after 3 years hard work. Have read of these boots lasting people 10 years and they are repairable. And I'm worth it anyway.

I can now flatfoot on my bike (on level ground  anyway)
