    Well it was patched (coloured to match) and buffed by those
    nice people at Hideout for a mere £35, so it looks a lot
    better than it was!

    The pics on this one show it before:

    it a few minutes to recover!)

    Superb photos, No 2436 shows the rear tyre gripping well,
    If ever a photo showed knee downs are not required, this is it!

    It's a pig of a site to navigate around, but they do a seat unit, yes:
    http://www.ricambi-weiss.de/shop/catalog/index.php?cPath=87_111
    GFK RACING HÖCKER ZX 7 R AB 96 KAWASAKI
    for 80 Eur inc VAT.

    Can't find a 7R fairing though, but they do two for the ZX750

    Pah - call that scuffed!
    I'm curious - how do the meta tags stop you seeing a site? I only ask
    because I wonder if their use is affecting my work site.

    I know that getting my knee down does not make me faster,
    and I was only doing it yesterday when mugging for the
    camera later on in the day when having a laugh.

    It is a useful guide to ground clearance, but I usually
    find that my toes are the first thing to touch down when
    I'm running out, rather than my knee!

    Can do. I need to redo the site at some point so those will
    go at the same time. Although the bike ones will stay so
    depending on how anal your Network Nazis are, it might still
    get blocked.

    So it would appear that were one in the process of considering using the
    content of meta tags as a tool to make life easier for others then
    unless you paid very careful attention it could actually work against
    you?

    Hmmm. Food for thought.

    Indeed - you don't actually need them and I'm not entirely convinced they do
    more damage than good. I've got some pretty competitive rankings in Google
    without them in a fairly ferocious sector.

    Exactly. I would have to be exceedingly careful what words I used in
    association with video.

    Bugger.

    Hey Ho my pot is half full, I can bypass the problem entirely by not
    using them and save a bit of development time.

    Important thing is the actual page name, title, h1 tag and a relevant
    description of what you're doing. Just 'coz you're doing videos it doesn't
    mean they're *that* sort of videos does it? Does it?

    Ah well. Anyway, it seems I wasn't paying attention, the attack that
    Alex Ferrier took part in was on a Wop battleship.

    namesake, they're detailed here:

  15. Are you sure it's weeping from there or from the breather behind the
    pot? My 750SS mists from the breather, but not enough to worry about.

    He shoots, he scores!!
    Wish someone would ask me how I knew it was the D2H. *harrumph*
    Jeepers, that's going to be about 4 times the price of the dSLR body.

    *sigh* ... I need some new kit.

    Ah, I'm glad you asked.
    All I had to do was find the original copy of the Bible [1] and, using the
    ancient art of 'pesher', decipher the origins of Christianity, then trace
    the Jesus's bloodline to some curator of a Paris museum, dodge some shifty
    albino Opus Dei numerary, follow a fit young french bird around the
    countryside a bit and find the secret code-word that would open a locked
    porcelain tube which contained the camera's identity on some papyrus
    parchment. Then it was simply a matter of rearranging the letters H2D based
    on a Fibonacci sequence and, hey-presto....

    Oh alright - the D2H is the most recent dSLR that produces images whose
    images' width/height ratio is ~1.51 (rather than the more usual 1.5)

    [1] it was in my loft the whole time!!

    Yes - it's definitely in front of the vertical cylinder,
    whereas the breather is behind and to the right-hand side
    of the engine. You can see it bubbling very slightly from
    the crankcase join when you come back in.

    Not enough to worry about for now, with 3 days to go, but
    it will be looked at after the weekend.
