K1300GT and a few other Brit bikes, Dawlish. Already a victim of an EWS wobble. On the A303. At night. Had to dump it to be recovered the following day whilst I got a 40 mile taxi ride home. Oh, how I laughed, nearly as loud as my wife did. Harrumph.

As I have grown older, I've learned that pleasing everybody is impossible, but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

Always carry a spare  8)

You can start any number of bikes with a spare as long as they each have two keys with them...

And welcome to the madhouse that is EuroKClub Matt.
