With the likes of Alex Jones and others, having a “shtick” has turned out to be a bad thing, let’s not encourage them.

Maybe sometimes we need to park individuals idiosyncrasies for the content? Personally on Stu's videos I "slide along until I see the WORK begin", and then take the info.... I have Small engine bars & Sump guard to fit and his video showed why you don't need to be anxious (Yes some of us are when taking spanners to a new bike with threads of variable quality) and he acknowledges that rather than being dismissive. Given that the Indian instructions are only mildly better than Chinese, I am happy for ANY ASSISTANCE.  Add in doing the lettering on crankcases etc... and I'm happy to put up with his idiosyncrasies 👍

I am fortunate enough to NOT need anything or anybody, especially yourself, to justify ANYTHING I do, what I said was I appreciate being able to see how it's fitted given the very average supplied instructions...

I think at some point after deciding he didn't really like his RE he decided to go full troll on here.  I feel like just ignoring his posts is the best course of action since it seems like attention is really what he's after.  Just my opinion though.

Who's Alex Jones?

He's a world class ass hat, with a far right radio show that caters to other ass hats just like him. Among other reprehensible acts he claimed that the Sandy Hook school shootings were a "false flag hoax." Fortunately he was sued by the families and lost, so if there's any justice in this world he'll die in some shit hole, dead broke and alone.
