I've usually seen that behavior in snow storms and less than 0F. One guy in particular, made a little gun with his hand and shot himself with it. I thought he was just depressed, but now, thanks to you, it's all clear. :)<br /><br />I also need to start organizing my warm weather gear. I need to get a new liner for my Arai and put my SV650 back together. I just need to finish putting in the HID. I only have one to your 27, so I'll just be a mini fireball.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606446271603142230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-80194432815322804082010-02-20T18:22:04.352-06:002010-02-20T18:22:04.352-06:00Dear Chris:

If you looked carefully in your rear-view mirror, you would also have noticed people dropping to their knees and praying for you, or others pointing at their own heads (using a circular motion) to define your mental state. <br /><br />I started organizing my gear today, in preparation for that first great ride that must come soon in March. I took a run out to the country to size up the status of the melting snow, and found it in retreat 65 miles out. But the average depth on the ground is still over a foot.<br /><br />Spring is only 28 days away.<br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack • reep • Toad<br />Twisted RoadsJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-52085292391505056342010-02-19T16:12:35.410-06:002010-02-19T16:12:35.410-06:00Chris:

The unit will take a photo every 2 seconds <em>(selectable to other increments)</em>. You can turn a long ride into minutes.<br /> One major design flaw I noticed. You cannot tell if it is recording when viewed from the rear. Also you cannot run from bike power as there is no opening in the waterproof case to plug the USB power cable. There is a new LCD screen attachment coming out soon which will correct this. Also I wished there was a wired remote option so I could mount it low and trigger from the handlebars.<br /> Wonder why they don't ask riders to offer input into their design.<br /><br />bob<br /><a href="http://www.wetcoastscootin.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">bobskoot: wet coast scootin</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-11457046348837794952010-02-18T22:05:23.042-06:002010-02-18T22:05:23.042-06:00Charlie6: Pentax Optio A30

It is the motorsport model, has suction base and waterproof plastic housing with two backs and other mounting stuff. I want to mount it on my crash bar, or over the windshield.<br /> Group buys are necessary in Canada. the units MSRP for $299. us. We have to pay shipping plus another 12% taxes and US foreign exchange. So not a lot of savings but more convenient to let someone else make all the arrangements<br /><br />bob <br /><a href="%E2%80%9Dwww.wetcoastscootin.blogspot.com%E2%80%9D" rel="nofollow">bobskoot: wet coast scootin</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-4492446835544667412010-02-18T19:22:53.562-06:002010-02-18T19:22:53.562-06:00Chris, what kind of camera is that?Chris, what kind of camera is that?redlegsrideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10927757855921321097noreply@blogger.com
