Gentlemen, I see we have another member about to join the Talk Masters Rank.
Mr Houston, there are 3 thirsty lads (Seth, KF & me) waiting for your shout! Will you please get a wriggle on & complete the required 9 posts so our thirsts may be quenched!
Come on Grog, it's the weekend already, boys need a drink. :cheers:
Bit slow on take up kiwi. Now with you. Wont take me long.
8 to go come on grog you can do 8 useful posts in your sleep :whistling:
Useful? wot useful? Just 8 posts, anything will do.
Mans dehydrating over this side of the ditch, hanging out for a beer.
Is the accidental Air Con fixed at your house yet ?
we could have a game of pool while waiting :stir:
Darts? 501, double to start & double to finish. Euchre? or 500?
Might have a 12 while I'm waiting - you boys want one?
Got the black all but sorted tonight. Did ya? Yeah.
Put the original headlight back on, 3 new indicators & re-fitted the exhaust. Straightened the brake foot pedal & got the handle bars to 80% good. She just needs the blues number plate stuck on the back & we're all good. Think OEM bars are only about $150, so not bad. I'd ride it like it is, but need the bars then I could see about getting her re-complied, or just keep her as a track bike / spare.
Another beer? I've finished mine.
you know i have to pace myself when having a drink :cheers:
Lemon, Lime & Bitters then for you mate and prob same for KF.
Think Grog must of gone to the Restaurant or Lounge Bar, cos he's not here, can't see him anywhere.
he might think he's to posh for us but we'll soon get him down to our level. :facepalm:
if he gets his posts in he gets the key to the executive bog or some such fancy bonus from the admin team.
:stir:
Im here, coldy in hand. Seth, i drink mid strenght beer. 3 to 3.5%. About 3 brands, whichever on special. Used to make my own, less sugar and lovely. Kiwi, Vlad has some stock bars i think hell sell.

Yes, well, we all know the executive bog hasn't been cleaned in a while, and remember when Mike had the trots - yeah, nuff said, so giving the newbie the key could prove useful & it'd finally get cleaned.
glad to hear it
home made booze sounds great especially if its low sugar :cheers:
i think vlads drink might get hot for import dutie if i get him to send some here :doh:
he'll not be a newbie for very long as a couple of other catching us up
@Andre being the lead poster of the newer folk :stir:
Maybe we save the key for them then? Jeez! imagine what it'll be like by then!!
Mates all just showed for occasion. About 40 galahs and a white cockatoo, most of my mates are bird brains so no difference. Col, not sure i wrote it properly, Vlad has a set of stock handlebars.
no grog needs to take his turn just saying it wont be for very long i was luck as it was all brand new when i got there .
:stir:
Yes you did Grog, that post about importing was from Seth, (he's pissed already so don't say too much) He thought you were talking about sending over Vlads bar as in drinking bar.

But don't ya wish Jay would stop eating those curries?!!
Big tennis about to start. Excited. New Korean or will the old master give him a lesson. Up my nose subject, changing subject. My Ducati mates making so much fuss over new v4 panigale. Used to be theyd say v twin or nothing. Now its how good v4 is. Honda been doing it forever, we know how good 4 cyls are. Am i missing something? Saying it has so many electronics its hard to fall off it. It fell pver on stand at bike show in november. Your thoughts
Nah, you're not missing anything. While Duc made v twins, that's what was best according to your mates, now they make V4, that's whats best. Not a lot of actual thought or objectivity going into it, just brand loyalty. Which is fair enough if that's what they like, but shouldn't be myopic about 1 brand.
And as for electrics, no matter how many or what they are, if you're on a lean on pebbles / loose shit, aint no amount of electric gizmos will overcome gravity once you're wheels slide out from under you. IMO.
i agree Col. myopic, ill mention that word next time. ill sound like a genius. this time last year, Australia day, wed just come home. was the day i tipped us both off the bike turning on bush track. totally destroyed my riding confidence for a while. was annoyed JA, my wife, was more injured than me. this year it stayed in shed, will for every Oz day forever.

I am no electronic fan with the exception of EFI. So much better than carburetors.
The other electronics are getting better. It is a slow process however. ABS has been around awhile. Gotten much better, but still has some disadvantages Including safety aspects.
The other shite can be quite good if they can be adjusted by the rider. Especially when they can be set to not engage during ambitioned riding and only kick in when very close to the limit. You'll have to spend thousands of $ for that though. And more dough has to be shelled out when they fail.

This just happened to a guy I follow on youtube. Of cause some chimed in immediately "didn't you have traction control on". Just like believers in religion who are baffled after they die and realize there are no 72 virgins waiting to pleasure him.
What ........ no virgins ??
Don't tell Mohammed, he was just about to top himself after getting his insurance quote !! :worshippy:
cheating, i know 999.
The wife will be happy Grog...... Federer in the Final. Have to say l would love to see him win it.
