I'm concerned that the addition of GT stripes to Kristyn's Spada will make it too powerful for LAMS.

Then you will have to confiscate it and use as your commuter.

I did a little ride yesterday/today





It involved a couple of Spurs

I think they are called Reefton or Black or some such thing.


Found a couple of other places too!





I wonder if I qualify for an 'Iron Butt' award or something?

I covered 2,100 kays in two days

Not on an ST, they're comfy.

Geeze Suze / Bwian you two are hard to please.

I will try harder  


If I can get this short video to work you see some nice roads in sunny Victoria.

   I used my point and shoot camera to record a bit of video, had to put the camera in my left hand, then get the bike going, so all the braking, steering and accelerating has to be done with my right hand.

   You may notice a bit of shuddering under brakes.

And all this happened before I hit the wallaby.

Looks neat and it could be handy. The only thing I'd be a little bit worried about would be not having a fuse running inline (depending on what you a plugging into it), but it would be relatively straighforward to solder one in.  

I run my Garmin GPS off the tail light and it works fine. Bike is on, GPS has power.

Haven't tried one, but it looks mighty cool.  I want one for the bike and for the car.

Echo what Craigo said about fuses - good idea to throw a 5A fuse in line to ensure it doesn't kill anything on the bike if there's a failure.

It appears to already come with an inbuilt fuse..... or would it be better to incorporate another in line job just to be sure?

Like Luke said, it does have an inbuilt fuse, but it looks neat, and would be a godsend for those who like to use their phone as a GPS or a GPS itself, or any other 'lectronic device.
