I am curious why you posted those pictures, sapaul. I mean, you could have easily had your wife take your picture on the bike. I think you're just showing her off to the Internet again.

Not like that's a bad thing, nice catch, you lucky (French word removed). :)

they fold in cause you push the yellow button. Why you would need folding mirrors is what im curious about :)

My guess is for parking it in tight places.
I whap my mirrors on the freezer once in a while trying to fit into the garage.

Then again it could just be asthetics.

Either way I say it's cool. Hooray for buttons that do stuff!

LMAO
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

My thought is that as Asia is a big target market and people take their bikes indoors, then the mirrors are to enable the bike to fit through a doorway and also on elavators in tower blocks.

I just looked in the mirror and remembered why I never post pictures of myself, some people may not have had breakfast. :laughing:
