Re: Venting..... Of a much more general nature.
Just to show how serious I am about this rant, Ive gone to the trouble of finding the most relevant thread to vent in: this is the go - although it all must have got too much for the original poster - (s)hes now an ex-member.
Anyway, within 24 hours I have seen two products use the term "Nano"in their product name or description. I dont remember what the first productwas but the second was a hair-straightener. A "Nano-Diamond" model.
I have low tolerance for BS terminology and, working ina corporate environment, I see more than my fair share of it.
But I deliberately avoid any product that uses BS terminology in its product name.
There - vented! >
Thanks for listening - its been a bad hair day. Pun intended? Whatever!
PS Dont even think about asking why Im in the market for a har-straightener, Im not, I just saw the ad. Im happy to have whatever hair Ive got, straight or curly.

Mmmm.... :
Nothing like the sound of firing up a 900SS on a cold and frosty morning. No-one sleeps through that but hey, whod want to 8-) ;D ;D

Re: Venting..... Of a much more general nature.
So...I forgot to ask...was it a bad plug or just needed to get those cobwebs out?
Speaking of which...must do that myself tomorrow... 8-)
And anyone who thinks that living in your pjs 24/7 is justifiable, then they deserve to have a loud bike living next door... ;D

Re: Venting..... Of a much more general nature.
Hey Scoots, she is a stay at home and the hubby is a rep and wasnt home...
When Leeham mentioned we needed Dukes, guess who I thought of ;D
Anyway, I was polite and turned it off (silly me).
This morning went for a ride, and Ms Natalie just had to check it out (the firing) both before we left and when we got home...
One day Ill tell the neighbour she doesnt actually own the street. I expect it will come as a shock to her.
Oh and whats she doing in PJs? No idea mate but she practically lives in them. :
Mid 40s by the way too...

Re: Venting..... Of a much more general nature.
Is your neighbour a shift worker, Chris? Otherwise, what on earth are they doing in pjs at 8pm on a Friday night??
In future, just do it in your garage, at least that way the sound can really reverbrate around and be even LOUDER! ;D
Happy to bring the Duke around if needed...
Though, I have to say, your bikes are probably just as loud really.
