Replies and the engine cover.
@GearNut, steady with the melting metal moments, I had enuff o' that with the stick, lol.
@ Fulltimer, reckon I'll wrap the next helmet in flouro fabric from an old safety vest. Reflective tape might be a go on the sides of the foam, if it sticks. Reflectors..I'm thinking those rectangular jobs embedded into pedals.
@ Arty Dave, rant away mate, I've had to edit the heck outta my ravings, but I blame the nice pain-killers, lol. Speaking of fools on mobiles, I watched a young woman recently, as we do, mobile in one hand pushing a stroller, she was dressed in black and the stroller was black. She crossed a side street after looking only left, then the main arterial road on which we live, without looking either way. I dropped what I was doing fully expecting to see them flying through the air. Very, very lucky girl.
I've attached a pic of the engine cover mentioned earlier in my last post i think. Got this idea from The Professor's front saddlebag setup. (Thanks Prof) The new unit will not be dummy and have enough opening space for my travel maps, sketchpads etc.
**** back pain, gotta split. Cheers all.
