Re: Silverstorm 12 Months on

Looking good! Although I have a garage the cr@p along the sides mean I have around the same useable space as you - it's why I've taken up yoga

Re: LED Position and Instrument bulbs

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1517/24096812299_d8f077b7fa_k.jpg This is the original one I posted (now lost on Photobucket) - looking back it doesn't do it justice at all!

Re: GoPro helmet mounting
