Har har mishtar Marc.

I'm as fresh as fresh can be. Soft as a baby's bottom.

I might go do my nails before they fall off. Then I'll go make andrew and I some breakfast of ham and potatoe salad sammiges. In between then, when andrew gets out of the shower, I'll go wash his clothes.

I reckon it would be easier to be at work :S

Oh yeah? It's... it's... ok yes it's boring. It won't be later if it rains though, the front tyre on my bike is starting to look like a slick. Eeek.

Did you geys get any hail the other day? SE Qlders only, before people from *cough* WA start commenting :)

Living at Cyrus' place during the week, I only head back home to Ippy for weekends. I was riding from Ipswich to Toowoomba and back every day for about 6 weeks... that sucked. It was comfortable enough, it just cost me a fortune in servicing and tyres :)

You bought a bike didn't you? Whadja get?

On another note I had a 10kg ham in the bag on the back of the bike, along with all my other crap, would have been 25kg hanging riiight over the back. Keeping the front wheel on the ground coming out of the tolls was a mission, so I didn't bother trying at the second one :) Considering I am quite possibly the worst wheelier in the universe, I was quite impressed with my ~100m effort :D

KR1S, nice! Looks very tidy. The son doesn't look too comfortable though :)

100m is very unusual for me, I normally struggle to get the wheel off the ground at all, I'm just too much of a wuss, though I think that's the main thing that's kept it rubber side down for so long. It's bloody irritating actually, my brother jumps on my bike (he has an R6) and pops monos and goes through 1st, 2nd, 3rd... bastard. The bike sure as hell doesn't have a problem, I just can't seem to twist the throttle far enough, my brain just won't let me. Damn.

My brother's race bike (CBR250) revs to 19k, it sounds like a mosquito, it's such a laugh to ride :D Even the R6 revs to 15.5k, it screams. Mine only goes to 12k but has about ten times as much mid range torque as the 6, which is just as well, cos I'm not exactly anorexic!! :D

Haha Will, nice one :) My soon-to-be sister in law's Charade doesn't have a tacho but the poor little thing sounds like it's going to blow up, it's probably doing those sorts of revs too! It'd be nowhere near as quick as the 'cino though...

Did you geys get any hail the other day? SE Qlders only, before people from *cough* WA start commenting :)

What Hail :D ?

See ya got a CBR in ya sig ...... my housemate has a 250 ..... ive chopped it :kick: so now he's desperately saving for a bigger bike haha

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
