    Visited the parents yday, and found a small package sitting with some mail.
    Actually forgot I'd ordered some Watsen Design led indicators. Lovely design and matched the paint perfectly. I'll try and get them fitted tomorrow and post some pics, but if you have a pre 08 blade then I can highly recommend them.

    Managed to fit the Watsen Design flush mount indicators to the SP1 on Saturday before taking the bike out for a good spanking.

    Really impressed with the results.

    They are really bright to boot mate. Well pleased with them, it brings the bike up to date a good bit.

    Looks excellent Colin, I was lucky to get mine for my Blade, they are very well made and so far no probs with them after a year.

    Managed to make a short video of last weekends antics on the SP1.
    It'll take a couple of hours to upload onto vimeo, but once it's done I'll post it up.

    Bear in mind this is my first attempt at video editing, so no piss taking please :) shea right

    No Music mate. Can't deal with tunes when on the go. Hopefully you enjoy it all the same.

    I will keep this video up over the weekend and then delete just incase. I hope the background noise doesn't annoy anyone to much but I have yet to master the go pro and video editing.

    Please note that the video footage on a Gopro does not give you the proper depth of field that the human eye can take in.

    I've had a few mails about the overtaking on double white lines of the van, but if you look closely, you will see that the van slows down, indicates his intentions, and waves me past, and only once I have seen that it is clear (again gopro narrows down field of vision), I make a pass.

    This is the main reason I have only posted this video for this weekend only.

    Oh Colin what sort of can of worms have you opened for yourself!

    The overtake in question does look pretty different thru the lens of the gopro, the van slowed rite down, indicates left and the drivers arm waved us by and he actually heads off cross country with the near side wheels I have the stone chips to prove it!

    I know mate.
    This will probably be my last post of a video from the GoPro.
    It makes it look as though we are going way faster than we are with the field of vision from the camera.
    Anyone that has ever been out on a ride out with me knows that I am far from the fastest rider and am safety conscious.
