I drove to work today.............

This was along belgrave-Gembrook road between menzies creek and the round about.

I'll go over the bike on the weekend to make sure all is ok, i'll be surprised if nothing is wrong, i'm expecting to find something. The forks look straight and wrok like normal the rim looks fine but i'll look further ...

Your pretty lucky, 1987 I hit a wombat in a XC Fairmont and flipped it (written off), ended up in hospital for the night.

Thanks guy's, i have only been riding for a couple of years so i was pritty amazed with myself.

You got that right, it would have been a real sight for the car behind me that's for sure. Still can't beleive it happened.

Thanks guy's i'll try and find some of the Oxford inserts and some of the FW1 polish / wax and see how these go.

I have heard that the Fog City inserts are the way to go but where in Oz can you get them, or is there another brand you can get locally that’s just as good.

Mike,
That's a good find, nice bag.

I have used mine a couple of times now and it's great, i hardly notice it's there. everything fits and i still have room for more.

Got my backpack tonight and try out tomorrow, looking at it it's well made and has plenty of functions i would use. I'll post what i think of it after a while.
