    Well, i have sorted out three of my Martin MiniMACs and put them through their paces last night, all good apart from one lamp nearing the end of its life (its a bit dull). I hope the video link works.

    Hmm, maybe this will work better

    Well, i've finished servicing all six MiniMACs. Ran them today in a master/slave combination to test all functions. They are going to a show at Luna Park this coming week so repaired just in time.

    Thanks Frosty, if i recall right, you're the bloke with a night club in the back of his Sandman so these should appeal!

    As for the bikes, I'm a bit of a Suzuki sport bike fan. The bike in the back is a 1990 GSXR-1100L which was my dream bike when i was 20 and the one in front is a 2008 Hayabusa. An old Katana would make the collection complete. A couple of pics for you.

    Your right about my Disco van, excellent memorie. My real weakness is 19 bikes. Yep Katana 1100 would fit right in
    Just noticed the rest of the picture. Nice garage. I've never ridden a Busa. Swap you for a ride on one of mine. Postie? Banshee? 300exc?

    Hey Frosty, i'll take the postie bike any time. Used to ride one for a short while, delivering mail out of the Midland Post Office. The best bike experiences for me, have always been riding small scooters in Asia with no helmet and just shorts and tshirt and always look forward to a small bike. Last year i took the Busa out for a ride without jacket on a warm day and it was great. I know, I know, its irresponsible to not wear full protective clothing but man i love the freedom. I also got to experience a long Harley ride in Texas without a helmet a c ouple of years ago and that was just the best.

    To be honest, the Busa is a beast, awesome in all areas, but one item of note, you have to set up for corners a bit more than other bikes, its not quite that forgiving. If i'm a bit lazy into a corner, i have to work the weight a bit harder to correct my mistake, but if i have the bike set up at the corner entry, its clean and sharp all the way through. Probably basics but i keep that tit bit in mind when i head up into the Dandenongs etc.

    My road bike is a Yami XJR 1300 which I think would be worse in the corners. I rode that postie bike from Brisbane to Alice Springs on a Postie Bash ( it was cheaper than seeing a shrink at the time ) Good choice the small bike. I ride a 150 scooter to work every day.

    Nice, sounds like the Yami is a beast as well. Anyway, the MiniMAC's went out on their first gig at Luna Park last night and all went well. Attached a couple of low res grainy pics for you. Hard to get good pics from a mobile phone in this type of environment.
