I find this whole thread so wholly unbelievable! Why would a manufacturer produce two types of airbox at vastly inflated cost rather than one and a) fit a blanking plate wotnot or b) give the poor buggers the same intake as the rest of us.

Yes, welcome back Lance, glad you found us again, although we did try awfully hard not to let anyone know where we had gone 

A strange and similar thing happened to me before Xmas, not the adjuster falling off, the silly cow thing, only it was a bull.

I was rattling along the M4, on a freezing cold Sunday afternoon, homeward bound from a very jolly biker's Xmas party.

Most cars, stuck in the 50-60 mph car park were drifting toward lane 2 or the Armco in a very definite attempt to let me squeeze by and I was very kindly taking up their offer and making progress.

Eventually the motorway cleared, all apart from the solid line of cars still stuck in lane 3 all trying to overtake the car in front.

Suddenly, the car I had found myslef behind stamped on his brakes so I lifted off and eased into the empty lane 2 but he pulled over as well and started shaking his fist in his mirror. Lane 1 and he follows suit, still shaking his fist. When I pulled out and moved tentatively alongside him, he wound his window down and started spluttering about me flashing my headlight on and off the whole time I was behind him, demanding to know why.

Now, I have always found it a trifle useless to flash the driver in front unless they are asleep and the only vehicle in the outside lane when a quick one normally wakes them up and moves them over and I certainly wasn't flashing him; there was a whole lane 2 empty if I had been that desperate to get home.

I shrugged and left him behind but to this day he probably thinks I was flashing him.

Paying attention to this when I re-joined the back of the queue my headlight most definitely seemed to be flickering imperceptibly, or jiggling over surface irregularities and being so much higher that most car headlights I figure it can seem like I am flashing folks; although he was the only one who took exception. When I got home I had to delve into my cowling to fit s a an HID kit I had been given and could find no physical reason, no loose bulbs, no loose adjusters, nothing.

Since then, I've paid a lot of attention to this when I am in the car and have noticed that most bike headlights do seem to flash, or flicker, when they come up behind me. Harsher suspension than cars? Higher lights? I have no idea but it has never bothered me, but I have noticed it is definitely a feature of most bikes.

Brian (who has been riding with his lights off since then and has had no more problems  )

What, so, like, innit all the dealers fault?

The dealer designed the damn thing?
The dealer out-sourced the damn manufacture of parts (to China) ?
The dealer assembled the (Chinese) bits?
The dealer built the damned thing into a bike?
The dealer did some PDI stuff? Well, OK!
The dealer had the temerity to sell it (them) to you? Hmm?

Brian (who can absolutely see why it is the dealer who Tim sould be shafting, legally correct as that might be)

I got banned from Loomies!

I think the Bowmore is more at the acceptable end of the peaty scale while the Laphroaig 10 yo is at the OMG end of the scale but it does go wonderfully with a pipeful of old shag.

I intend to try the Quarter Cask as soon as the Bowmore has gone, which at its present rate of glugging will be in about 2 weeks time! The girlfriend, who can make a bottle of her favourite wine last a fortnight, has discovered she can sip the Bowmore neat and is currently doing so for England!

I can see we shall have to have the Bowmore as our house malt.

Brian (so many malts, so little time left)

Hi Ross! It's such a good idea that PaulC has already put up a post in the Technical section on cloud storage with instructions.

Brian (who hasn't tested it himself yet but used Photobucket extensively on the old forum using the .IMG link)

Well, there is only one way to find out.....

Either we do a poll, or we just create it; so that's just two ways then!

Do you have the rights to create a new board? If so, just do it, if not, I'll do it tomorrow.

Brian

Hi Phil, and welcome to the madhouse that is EuroKClub. We're really glad you found us and hope you enjoy your stay.

Steve, Ray and Johhny, welcome back, you must all be as daft the rest of us
