Got my Lemans out today and took advantage of the lack of people in downtown Tucson. https://photos.app.goo.gl/DUoh4v2tRhi1Zud36 https://photos.app.goo.gl/E9Y8TkLiVYLMUWbo6 https://photos.app.goo.gl/g7yyhajaEGWM5gNm9 https://photos.app.goo.gl/n2Sbc1wiUkBe5gUp8 (can a mod blow these up for me? Couldn't get it working. Thank you)

The post came today with a new front brake lever, a re-build kit for the rear caliper and also a fresh pin & spring. So that’ll be a nice 2/3 beer job 🙂.

Hi Steve, if not already sorted PM me. I still have the one you supplied to me so better it goes to someone who needs it rather than sitting in my 'just in case' box. We can sort out a replacement slow time.

Well , I have just carbon-dated myself !

Blueboarhound shared this with me pretty early on . . .

"Distinct cultures separated by a common language."

You know Chuck on the several trips I've made to the states one of the amusing things we experienced was the look on the faces of usually service people when they heard an Aussie accent. It was a running joke with my wife and I. You walk up to a shop assistant and speak very clearly but still in Australian and look at their eyes for a reaction. 90% hit rate on total confusion and a requirement to repeat. It got me analysing the situation because my wife and I can instantly switch modes to many many different accents and almost never require the speaker to repeat and all we could figure was that we have been exposed to a lot more different accents in our lives on a regular basis. The best one was a young lady serving us at a McDonlads just outside Richmond Virginia..............a look like you'd expect from a fart in an elevator:) I even understood the guy at the food joint that asked me if I would like my Receipt.........pronounced, Re.....sip.....it in a southern drawl, no problem. Ciao

This sounds like a brain fart question:) My bike wont engage the starter unless the clutch is pulled in to start with. Does that answer the question? Ciao

Was working from home, but came to the office today because I really needed to drop a load and the office has toilet paper. Not really . . .

Bellissime foto e bellissima moto!

Back at the turn of the century.. *this one* We visited friends in the small village of Gamblingay and they took us all over England for 3 weeks. We literally couldn't understand most people in Yorkshire.. What an unforgettable trip that was..

Thanks for the support, i feld very stupid, but this soothes the pain

Hahaha! But it's a '93 (last production year) and it already has a CD player!

Thank you for telling us. The only way to increase learning - is to know how things can go wrong. Rolf

It wasn't the friction plate, that was the wrong way around. But there ware 6 holes in the pressure plate and they had to fit over the 6 allen screws that hold the flywheel to the crankshaft and they ware not aligned properly Problem solved

The NZ government is feeling a tad miffed about Covid19, so they have a plan to fix it. Here is an early draft of a press release: "2020 to be Cancelled. We hope that you have enough toilet paper stored now, so that soon demand will fall to zero, and the tissue manufacturers will have to lay off staff. Then they can join the rest of us in sharing the despair and misery. That happy thought aside, we have given careful consideration to the situation, and we have decided that it is no longer in the best interests of everyone involved to proceed with 2020. While we recognise that a lot of hard work has gone into 2020 already, if we're honest it has turned into a bit of a shitshow. We feel it is best to just call it off. We understand that some of you were looking forward to seeing what cruel and peculiar clusterfuck of a disaster 2020 would throw up next, but on balance we believe it is probably best not to find out. As we wait for 2021 to commence, we will provide some advice on vegetable growing, ark building, and methods of repurposing surplus toilet paper. Our plan is to deliver a more enjoyable year, similar to say 2011, which everyone thought was the absolute worst year of all time but in retrospect was a walk in the park. See you next year" Meanwhile, kiwis are trying to do their bit to save the world.
