Folding mirror party trick - dazza - 29-07-12
Got the chance to max my bike today as I wanted to see how fitting a gen 2 touring screen affected the top speed. As i tucked in and my speed increased my r/h/s mirror folded back. It reminded me of the veyron when it all hunkers down and spoilers lower to make it more slippery. It's only started to do this since it took a direct hit from a pigeon at 3 figure speeds but I thought what a pointless but pretty cool mod. Am now on the lookout for a kamakazi pigeon to take one for the l/h/s :lol

I got hit by a bird on sunday coming back from the coast I was doing 50 mph and it hit me straight in the arm, not sure what happened to the bird but it gave me dead harm.

Had a wood pigeon(flew out of trees!) hit me full on shoulder @ 50mph. Glad it wasnt in the face! the bird did a couple of mid air sumersaults lost a few feathers & carried on. Another good reason for wearing full protective gear & visor down! :eek
