We have Jim! Couple of nice down hills here to check a couple of things, like shock clearance. Tow rope to get back home! And I don't know if I would get a DUI (driving under the Influence) if I got stopped by the Law....!! :think: Can you get booked if you are over the limit on a push bike?

You should have known that a video would have been very entertaining.

I was thinking the video would be taken by someone on the side of the road, while you pass by holding the handlebar in one hand and the wine glass in the other.

When I first looked at those shocks, the first type I thought of were Fournales, good touring shock back in the 70s/80s.

I love a nice Barossa red myself :thumbup:

Back in the 80's S&W made really good conventional shocks and these air shocks. They certainly fixed the wallowing which the stock under damped shocks would cause. I used these for a few years, and the pre-load (air) adjustment was easy and effective. They absolutely hold air, so we will see how they go, tho I will probably end up with longer shocks........
You need to check out the BIG McLaren Vale reds too, Baz, just up the road for me!! :)
