It goes with the territory, the forums about an oddball bike thats thirty years old.
Journalists at the time were all into big four cylinder bikes so they got slated by the press, I wound up with a 400 twin which was bloody marvellous so i always fancied a 750 when i was a yoof, had around 15 up to press…..
750 twins are an aquired taste, an…[Read more] -

Its all in the latin roots, ten relates to ownership or holding a position, as in tenancy or US marines holding their ‘ten’.
So extend means to add to what you already hold and unextend means to return to where you already were.
Unlike retract which means to move back over ground you have already covered.
Anyhoo the point of contact is the greeks…[Read more] -

I’m not disappointed at all, I was sick of all the travelling anyway.
Seen a few jobs I might apply for and I’ve still got a couple of months worth of invoices to come so I’m enjoying the time off. -

Hard to do when you are self employed, going to get a job on the books in a month or so, depends how much crap i can sell on ebay (anyone need a lumberjacks husky chainsaw with no spark or one of several lathes?)
Going to spend a bit of time on the chop while I look for a job and get my head straight, so hopefully less rambles on here of an…[Read more] -

A bunch of alcoholic malcontents living off of government handouts claiming fraudulent monies for their extended families, who’s sole requirement is to show their faces at a government institution.
Council Scumbags or Scumbag Councilors? -

Same old same old, tonic water had quinine in it so people didnt get malaria but it tasted awful so some bright spark started mixing his with gin.

strange they never combined alcohol with other stuff more, I’d be up for smirnoff cheesestrings or jack daniels pepperami.
Strange also how some things seem to invite crossovers and others nothing at all.
Mobile phones have every adaption you could think off yet multi meters have nothing, I’m inventing the iMeter mp3 multimeter for sparkys,…[Read more] -

The brushes would be stuck to you if it wasn’t for meths.
Methylated spirit is alchohol which had a purple dye added which made it taste awful so people wouldn’t drink the stuff.
This didn’t work and the dye and the methanol just caused renal failure and blindness in alcoholics stupid enough to drink it. -

My previous rant is to illustrate that sometimes there is an optimum solution where no further refinement is necessary the kawasaki 750 twin is an optimum of design and functionality.
It does everything you want a motorcycle to do.

beetroot, whats that all about, tastes fucking awful, you have to soak it in acid to make it palletable in extremely thin slices.
Its normally sliced so fine that you have no expectation of it bleeding squid ink all over you halfway through a cheese salad sandwich. -

why didnt anyone ever make a twin rail motorcycle chassis, kind of like half a hot rod, all the axis would be in line with the engine?

You’ll do for me sir, the seat hump rear tank section idea sounds lovely, are you going to split and narrow it?
And homely side panels is an understatement, i think they were are and always will be bloody awful. They let the whole bike down, its the odd not quite flat line they have at the bottom, z thou ones look quite nice if you dont mind…[Read more] -
