That is possible, not to say thats how yours is.
i know what im going to be doing this weekend lol!! taking it out to check! is there anyway to check its as its surposed to be? as in the spec? would i need to take it to a engineering place to get them to test it? other than checking for obvious signs of damage i take it thats all i can do?
