    Will it never end?

    Spent quite a large chunk of the afternoon marking, scribing,
    drilling, routing, and finally angle-grinding a hole in the screen for
    the vent to go in.

    Lovely, it is.

    Front half of the vent fits just so. As does the rear.

    Trouble is, the two halves won't clip together, because a Skidmarx
    screen is twice as bloody thick as a Honda one.

    Which makes it all your fault, Wuncle.

    I'm a bit non-plussed as to where to go from here, tbh.

    Sealant? Glue? Hammer and nails?

    Also, the garage is now ankle deep in perspex shavings.

    On a happier note, Muc-Off Miracle Shine is just that. The arse end of
    the Wing is redder and shinier than the king of all chimps.

    There was a chap at Capital Wings who had a set of buttons that made
    those noises.

    <remembers - must get that novelty horn from Bandit bikes>

  6. Is it programmable? I don't know if they make them yet but something
    you could plug into the usb port would be a must have imho.

    Proud as I feel about this, remind me exactly how it's my fault again?

    I hate taking credit where it's not due.
