Headlight Alignment
I can't believe I don't know the answer to this - I am truly a TC. Should the 'level' bit of the headlight beam (not the bit that kicks up) be horizontally aligned to the lane you're in, or the lane to the right? I.e. on a single carriageway road, should the kick-up start at the left curb or the centre of the road ... 17 Nov 2009 09:32

Having done the IoM stuff previously with gloriously powerful bikes, we decided inste... 19 Nov 2009 07:17

So apart from Move To a Less Pikey Area
R C Nesbit was thinking very hard : My sons know who he is, but I have warned them off doing anything stooopid. Well, so long as they also ensure there are no witnesses, what's the problem? -- Regards, Harry (M1BYT) (L) http://www.ukradioamateur.co.uk ... 17 Nov 2009 16:24

Another ebay phishing example
Item 390118518643. However, somebody would have to be REALLY stupid to think a genuine Vincent Rapide is going to be on offer at �6,000. Same technique as previous examples - after a second or two the page gets reloaded from the phishing site (which i think is hosted by iWeb technologies, a company that is well k... 14 Nov 2009 17:49

Self Assembing GSX-R
Got this from Another Place just a few mins ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zlax5L8BVGc&feature=player_embedded Bloody clever, and made me laugh out loud in a couple of places.
