clutching mirrors

[Conall O'Brien]

For maximum effect read the sheep dog message while listening to Pink Floyd "Animals". It's awesome. Conall- Who was trained not to spit in the fan.

Tried the "pull in clutch" technique today, for snuffing mirror vibration (good idea Sarah). It works great! Still going to experiment with after-market mirrors, for now though, the clutch will do fine. Anybody tried the "tucked close to handlebar" mirror pictured in the KLR section of dualstars site?
