Re: All night lights
Another happy Joystick owner....Mk7, Mk10 and Mk12. One on the bars, one on the helmet and if out for a few days, one as backup. Mk7 on the helmet usually due to less focused beam pattern than the later models. Cheaper than the bigger ones from Exposure...great run time...lightweight...decent enough...

Re: What are you listening to now?
My brother was trawling for first press Cardiacs a few weeks ago and I spotted this wee beastie. Turns out the seller used to play guitar for the band and this is the copy given to him on joining. The first punk album I heard as a kid in Oz. I shall enjoy this with a strong coffee shortly as I've th...

The Chats - Pub Feed. Not as good as The Saints, but some solid 'shed rock' from some lads on the Sunny Coast just north of here.

Re: How to.... Take your bike on a plane
Cable ties are a faff if you don't have cutters at the other end...and folks question pulling out a knife to cut them. Go with a roll of 1/2" velcro and cut long strips. Useful outbound, during the trip and on the return....for multiple trips. Forks/cranks stay on fitted. I try to stop things f...

Re: How to.... Take your bike on a plane
Have flown bikes around the world a few times. Mostly in boxes acquired from local bike shops. I got brazen at one point and did the heavy plastic wrap between UK and Spain/UK and Italy. Small form factor/lots of tape is your friend. Unwrap and rebuild at destination. Carry the wrap (fits in a harne...

Re: Bivvy a month 2022
It's been far too long since I got out. Maybe this will be the kick I need to seek another 4SL badge. A bad case of the CBF's blew out Friday and a slow start meant leaving home after midday on Saturday. The big tarmac rollers started just outside Petrie and kept putting up 60-120' climbs all the wa...

Re: Magpies.
Folks in Brisvegas ride with zipties pointy end up on their helmet to keep the magpies from swooping. Seems to work as they go for me instead. Had a couple of pecks on the helmet since I've been back. Crazy look though the whole zip tie helmet thing.
