    Similar to what I had in Orewa... two young lads in a car driving really slow looking for a park, driver would brake then move on brake then move. After about the fourth go at not finding a park I lent on the Stebel and two heads were looking everywhere for the noise..they had the windows down and as I went passed they were laughing and said '' thought you were a truck''!

    Maverick (member here years ago) use to import them ten at a time to keep the cost down and on sell them, not sure how much it cost though.

    Skills.

    Me and auto-electrical stuff are a match made in hell. The last two were in a Buell 1125 and an XB12X, the wiring wasn't too bad but both took a couple of hrs nipping and tucking inside the cowling to get the buggers to fit without touching anything delicate.

    The only reason there's not one on the SDR yet is the fact it's not immediately clear where I could fit one at all let alone neatly and unobtrusively.

    It's a long standing disappointment to me that I've never owned a machine aesthetically suitable for the fucking great DX loco air horn lurking somewhere out in the workshop.

    Er, doesn't that sort of defeat the purpose?

    When ever we had a party at home, anyone that turned up and was going to be drinking handed over their keys. They got them back in the morning.
    At a party up north, a female was seen in the garage around 11pm gearing up after some hours of drinking, she lived about 2 hours away. It took three of us to convince her it was not a good idea..and to ride home with us the next day.

    Had a similar thing in Devon St, although not Asian, the woman looked at the bike then kept on looking. But at least she was looking then which was an improvement.

    Sounds like the steinlager experiment. We set up an obstacle course and got people to drink and recorded the results. Then we had a big party afterwards. D(r)uncen wanted to ride home. Didn't happen.

    Wasn't questioning what happened sorry. Would be interesting to see what did.

    I was only thinking it would be much more fun doing it my way.

    Now a message from my sponsor 'drink Heineken and go on KB' hopefully won't remember a thing in the morning

    Godh Heinikin gives me the same hangover as stienie does. Stienie pure is much more amenable. Although it varies in quality. Current batch is dreadful. One before was really nice.
