If foam will only be on two sides and you have a v/reg that is set to no more than 14.2 ish volts, you'll be fine.

Did you enjoy Harry?

FYI I met Garnet at a concert yestereday.

Harry was OK but the tunes sounded much alike. I went to see Kevin, and he was amazing as usual. You should have heard me at my gig today, I guess I was inspired! He's one of the best players I've ever heard!

Rode the R100 with the new Dekka battery. It turns the bike over as fast as a modern bike! I hope that is good. Starts instantly.
