I agree to tape isnt for everyone, esp for rap, rnb, electronica etc. even a lot of to tape can be embelished with things like triggers used for drum sounds. this means you could pretty much record an entire album beating on cardboard boxes and you could still get ultra tight drum sounds. cheating IMHO (for a rock album). if your somone like NIN or ministry then its par for the cousrse and ppl get upset if you dont try such wacky techniques

i dunno, i guess im just a fan of old style multi track! but im certianly not saying that everything recorded to disk is ****, obviously it isnt! the transplants album ausnted cities is great, one of my current faves and was obviously done on pro tools with loops etc.

Thanks for the HD tips Royale.

I have dealt with batteryspace a coupla times and they are an excellent mob to deal with. Doesn't matter whether you spend $10 or $10000, they are just happy to keep you happy. Good source for lithium cells and paraphernalia too.

I just brang meself my second pair of these. This time I hope they'll be the right size

I'm SO COOOOOOOL!!!

You obviously weren't bagged out enough about your last pair of white shoes
My eyes still aren't the same

Thinking about retiring to the Gold Coast already?

We're just lucky he didn't get the matching white bibs.

Man, I wish they had more in size 47. Spewin'!!

Size 43 would have been nice too.

Off to the 'G' tonight to watch the round ball game. Better head of and stock up on flares i suppose. Anyone know where can I pick up a Turkish flag for cheap on the way? I'm sure I'd be really popular!

Theres plenty of kids in the city with flags. Just nab one as you ride past!

You guys looking at the torpedo7 site for shoes?

chainreactioncycles also has pretty good deals on sidi shoes.

where did ya get em?

bingo!!! Size 43

John Kennedy. A bit epxensive, even for cash, but I want them NOW coz I'm not doing one more ride with slightly wobbly feet. Even the teeeniest bit of movement sometimes drives me nuts. When I'm just rolling around on an easy day, loose shoes don't bother me at all -- in fact, sometimes I barely do them up -- but doing hard stuff with any foot movement is 'painful'. Man, sometimes I miss my toe-clips. I'm thinking of stitching a 2nd ratchet to my other pair of Sidis because some days the velcro just doesn't cut it.

Anyone watching the soccer tonight? Will have one foot in each camp - better half is Greek whereas I follow the Socceroos. Should be a great match!!

Hi zabba,

yeah should be good for a giggle. Did I hear right that the Greeks want to 'avenge theior failure to qualify'?

I think you heard right! With such a large Greek population in Melbourne (160,000+) it should be very interesting.

First ride back after the Horace Mash was interestin.

80kays of hills and undulations to smack the legs back into shape. No strength or rhythm for the first 60km. It seemed to drag on and on, it was Norfolk & Gould. Every little rise was starting to feel like I had sea anchors on. Then Oliver Sutton everything clicked in and I was cruising along as if I'd never been out of the saddle. Most excellent fun.

However, my quads are now claiming that they are the boss of me!

On the plus side the missus brought home some yummy beers to drink. Spose I shouldn't disappoint her

congrats jock, good to see you back in the saddle! 6 weeks will kinda do that to you...

so can we expect to see you up at calga any time soon?

Have a great night, and no fightin with the other half.

Let em know about it when the Socceroos score/win for sure. Rub it in real hard.

...but no fightin. Unless there's jelly involved, your both female, and your have a spec webstream

Hell no! That would mean delivering the pump. It become like a fourth child to me

well id hate to tear my pump away from the boosom of its loving family.....

I tried to phone in my order for the Sidis and got told they were sold out.... so I placed an order on the web anyway cause they were still advertised....and just got confirmation thay are on their way

You leave my man-boobs out of this!!

Do you realise that this pump idea/saga was conceived on the 4th of January!!!

Jock, how was the ride? Hows the gimpy wing?

Your not so good with techology are you. That why you work for HP

Go here: https://www.bikeforums.net/showpost.p...postcount=6250

I don't have a gimpy wing. I have two gimpy wings (now) that cancel each other out and actually make me more aerodynamic (ie. they slope more downward that they used to)

Pinkie doesn't like rough tar and throw road surfaces, but it's gonna hafta get used to it.

well it's out. Girl #2 came today at 4:42pm, 3.5 kgs and gorgeous !! No name yet. Later fellas....
