Might not have been flat chat Hamish, but too fast for Quentin´s computer at least. It worked on my phone.

Sorry about that, Quentin, if it wasn't coincidental. It plays fine, both on my PC and iPhone. Judging by other's reactions, I'm guessing it's playing for them but if anyone else has problems, pipe up and I'll delete the video?

Fixed, Haggis, dear chap, see video above.
Hopefully, it won't do a 'Quentin' on you.

No worries - it was so sudden. Playing fine then going nowhere (unlike you and the bike!) ... i checked other websites and all was fine. Went back to the forum and still glitching. Happened to me once before with a vid IIRC

Yeah, I would. I’d be too embarrassed to post anything like that. I had to speed it up even to make you look just slow…
Hamish, is your wrist sore? Surely you can open the throttle more than that. Your daughter takes good pics and now moving onto videos

PS. Clem, do you know the old saying about people in glass houses. Maybe we should have a picture of everybodies alternator cover and then the bragging can begin. I’ll start shall I ?

It is a bit, Tom. Best not to go into the reason why.Hamish, is your wrist sore? Surely you can open the throttle more than that
My pace was to aid my Daughter's getting some good shots, not a max attack run which might bring unwanted attention.Your daughter takes good pics and now moving onto videos

Grinding the alternator cover on a 180 triple is almost a given; you learn to ride them hard without the grinding of the cover and resulting lifting the rear wheel because of that damn cover.
Now, grinding down the left side primary chain adjusting bolt and touching down the left frame rail, on the street, that's when you know you are at maximum lean and having fun. Sorry, no pictures, but I have a witness from this Forum. ripped the bolt right out of the cover on one very enthusiastic night ride between Parkerville Pub and the Weir Pub, Western OZ. Yes, the bike dumped all the engine oil out of the gaping hole in the cover. Fortunately, I made it to the pub before losing all the oil. Since that time, every triple I have owned I have shortened the primary adjuster bolt. My mate Rob was following close behind me, and his SF and self were completely covered with my engine's oil, it was the most spectacular arrival into the Pub's parking lot anyone had ever seen, and it was just in time for last call. Cheers
ps. My triple went home in the back of a ute, now that was a freaking scarey drive.

Oops sorry. If that happened today, the primary cover would be repaired, not replaced$$$

This is my 'limit indicator, it is from years of hooning around Southern California Canyons and Mountains. ' It's not on my Jota these days and is reserved now strictly for track days, of which I have not attended one for many years. The new cover has barely a kiss on it, I doubt the new cover will ever experience rides like this cover did. I'm getting to be an old codger and..." the older I get the faster I was", correct eh Ron? Canadians can still talk to us folks down south, yes? Ha HaHamish, is your wrist sore? Surely you can open the throttle more than that
