Wow. Thank you. I didn't know that. As they say, if you want; every day can be a school day.

I'm in the process of rereading Mary Beard's SPQR so this is of particular interest.

copied and pasted from wiki

The label on Jägermeister bottles features a glowing Christian cross seen between the antlers of a stag.[10][11] This image is a reference to the two Christian patron saints of hunters, Saint Hubertus and Saint Eustace, both of whom converted to Christianity after experiencing a vision in which they saw a Christian cross between the antlers of a stag.[10][11][12][13]

In the product name on the label, we see one of the few surviving examples of the use of the long s in print.

How sad that Jägermeister can't even come up with their own unique logo design....f...ing cheapskates. Can't be classed as a unique product then. Maybe next time they grab a Swastika from India LOL

Cheers Jezman. How is view ability in different riding positions. I need to switch riding positions while riding due to old back injury and this leads to a mirror change while riding. Does anyone know if the 04-08 R1 mirrors would fit, they were great and could just told them in while filtering and back out again with no stability issues

no probs vtwin. Not sure phoenix i could see them being bit awkward if you were wanting to move them to different positions on a regular basis. Not sure on the R1 mirrors sorry.

I'll not comment on the Christian Deer but the mirrors have a certain attraction. They look better than the standard mirror extenders which, IMHO look even more naff. To actually have a reasonable rear field of view is something I crave.

CBF Mirrors are awesome

While out hunting stag (which was the symbol used for pagens) he came across a magnificent stag, through the stags eyes he saw the light of Christ and Christ spoke to him through the deer. Placidus then coverted to the new religion and his name to St Eustace. The image of the stag and cross refers to this.
Or.. it could just be a plug for Jagermeister.
