    Turns out not to be needed. Senn was very responsive tho. I found Amazon will go to bat when Panasonic was giving me a hard time on a BluRay player. Australia has all consumer electronics covered by a 2 year warranty,,..period full stop. Some manufacturers don't like it. Amazon sent me a new...

    Trying again to get the complete 5 season run watched - had trouble with the speakers clipping but okay now forgotten how dark this gets.... :eek: Might have solved my clipping problem by turning DTS on. Season 5 getting pretty soapy - so was S4. I'll hang in. Season 5 perhaps better than 4...

    Confirmed my belief that all mountain climbers are essentially nuts. :eek: But this cleared up some of the questions I had about one of the horror climbing stories I read. Husband and wife were coming down K2 from a successful summit ( 1 in four summiting K2 die) They debated who would lead...

    VFR800 or CBF1000 I suspect you didn't like riding the X at high revs...It's capable enough in the twists if you wring its neck a bit. Like the Vstrom 650 it only comes alive at 7k tho the Vstrom was much more fun 🕶️

    Not worth the risk

    Kid and I used to go out for midnight rides and aside from critters ( and bug swarms) we enjoyed it. I'd go on my own too and got startled by a black bull which looked the size of a box car in the headlights. Fortunately he was grazing happily in the ditch and ignored me. Good memories. Too...

    Honda's losses..
