What??? The hypoteneuse is known. Length from bottom of dipstick cap to full mark. Angle is known (or at least fairly accurately estimated). All else can be calculated if a right triangle is assumed. Of course this will not give an exact 4 decimal place, hard as stone value, but it WILL define for Dave wether the line sits at the lower or upper joint. Quit picking on the poor guy!! Better take grade ten math again Ratch! Rj edit - I see you deleted that post while I was responding. Still, no need to jump all over the guy for being prudent.

Ditto on what that other Ryan said. I can see it all in my head. Very well written! Thanks Pete!! Rj

White tee shirt and 5 mins with a Sharpie should do the trick. No need to get all purdy if you're just going to a BMW shop... If you are not sure what "extremely full figured" means, I see a tutorial with TX in your future. Rj

I liked the Sport until I sat on it. The Paul Smart really doesn't do it for me. I could be very interested in the GT - please keep us posted. I need to find a replacement for my V11. Much as I love the bike WHEN IT IS WORKING I need something properly built that I can get on and USE without so many damn problems. Rj

I'm the opposite. After 4 years of Guzzi ownership, I'll never buy another shaftie. Certainly never another Guzzi. I still can't believe I spent $16K on a brand spanking new project bike. Rj

Is it just me or is this an insult?? Life's too short fer that shit, Van. Better sell your tenni... No fat chicks. Rj

Yup. My best shot was through the heart of a walking moose at 700yds from a tree stand. I learned to shoot early on the farm and was a member of the Manitoba provincial cadet range team for a few years in my teens. I'm getting all nostalgic and teary eyed now - must remember to bring that gun back from my parents' house in a few weeks... Rj

My understanding is that this is/was a political dispute where one side happened to be Protestant and one side happened to be Catholic. I believe they were blowing each other up in the name of Ireland, not Christ. There have been many slaughters throughout the world in the name of Christ, however. Rj

I think it is a Winchester Model 70. I have the same one. Could be a number of large calibers... I would definitely trade in my black retriever for that one. Bet she'd look good with my bird in her mouth. Rj

Garage space? Space constraints? Limitations? You guys gotta get your priorities straight!! Bikes in garage - 0. When I got my '58 Yellow Jacket wooden speedboat, it took up all my garage space. No more room for bikes. The Ducati went in the living room. The tenant in the back room got evicted. Ta-da! New bike shop space. But not enough to store the bikes and work on them. Next - sell all furniture in the spare bedroom (Nobody visits anyway and if they do - inflate-a bed). Now have room for 2-3 more bikes - just need to find them. Life is all about priorities! Rj

Outdated? What's different with a new gun?? Cartridge goes in one end. Point. Pull trigger. Projectile leaves barrel, blows hole in target. Tough to beat the old .303 for accuracy, hardiness, and killing power. Unlike my Winchester 30-06 whose B&L top of the line scope goes out of cal when it gets whacked (tree, rock, truck, etc.) the .303 is dead accurate and stays that way after a hell of a beating. Any serious hunter needs one of these meat sticks for pushing bush. Oh, and the shot of the killer crew... I'll take the one with the pig tails. Always liked power steering. Rj

jungle carbine with flash suppressor and peep sight here. Dropped lotsa deer with it over the years. My father gave it to me when I was 11. I've dropped that thing in the snow, bashed it on the rocks, literally all the beatings a teenager can lay on a gun in the bush. Still deadly accurate. Rj

Think of it this way - you are on the hump. The second bike is always the hardest to justify, and can bring a sensation of guilt. Once you have accepted that you are a multiple bike owner, numbers 3,4,5 and 6 come MUCH easier, and faster. Enjoy your disorder, I quite like mine Rj

I can make my own, but if you are putting up cash to get these made, I'll support the endeavor by buying one. A template would save me a lot of work, I'd be willing to buy just the template if you are able to recover your setup costs through sales... cheers, Rj

Au contraire! Two is at LEAST two too few. Rj

See! I thought there would be different kits. I bought my bike new off the floor 2 yrs after manufacture year. It had no kit when sold but they grabbed one off a new bike and ordered another one for that one. Maybe I have a kit from a 2003-2004 model Rj

If life were a box of chocolates there would be a map so you could avoid the nuts. Rj

This is what I've always done... but I thought I'd get laughed at for such a barbarian act... or maybe not every one in every tool kit is the same... works fine for me. Rj

You've missed the point again. The point is - I know your self righteous crap is rampant in the GW thread. That's why I AVOID reading it like the plague. I'm just asking that you keep it there and not littered randomly about the other threads. I know you are a conspiracy theorist. Just because you have your head in the sand on a different beach doesn't mean you have the whole picture. I really enjoy MOST of your posts. I just get pissed when anyone takes a "holier than thou" attitude. That's why I like to post little provocative messages that result in 1000 word responses from you. You like to type, I like to make people type. Especially if I can get them to type the same thing over and over. See - It's really a good relationship... Rj

Makeup didn't help in the last one. Still looks like a horse's ass. Rj

aw geez. Not this crap again. Please leave this shite in the GW thread where I don't have to look at it. Oh great bearer of the TRUTH - please keep it in your pocket where you found it. Rj

That cat ain't watchin' me anymore. Spunked him right in the eyes. Helluva shot too if'n I don't say so meself. If you HAVE to have a cat, I guess the attic is a good spot to keep it. Rj

I'd only be interested if it was frost free and had an ice cube maker in the door. Rj

And we don't head butt somebody in the breast bone when they insult our sisters... we break their noses. Rj
