Tis the season for flu To avoid it... Eat right! Make sure you get your daily dose of fruit and veggies. Take your vitamins and bump up your vitamin C. Get plenty of exercise because it builds your immune system. Walk for at least an hour a day, Go for a swim, Take the stairs instead of the lift, etc. Wash your hands often. If you can't, keep a bottle of antibacterial stuff around. Get lots of fresh air. Open doors & windows whenever possible. Try to eliminate as much stress from your life as you can. Get plenty of rest. OR Take the doctor's approach. Think about it... When you go for a flu jab, what do they do first? They clean your arm with alcohol... Why? Because Alcohol KILLS GERMS. So... I walk to the pub. (exercise) I put lime in my vodka...(fruit) Celery in my Caesar (veggies) Drink outdoors on the patio..(fresh air) Tell rude jokes and laugh....(eliminate stress) Then I pass out. (rest) The way I see it... If you keep your alcohol levels up, flu germs can't get you! As my grandmother always said, 'A shot in the glass is better than one in the ass!' Live Well - Laugh Often - Love Much

WHY MEN ARE NEVER DEPRESSED Men Are Just Happier People-- What do you expect from such simple creatures? Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. You can never be pregnant. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. You can wear NO shirt to a water park. Car mechanics tell you the truth. The world is your urinal... You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky. You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work, more pay. Wrinkles add character. Wedding dress $5000. Tux rental-$100. People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them. New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet. One mood all the time. Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuff about tanks. A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. You can open all your own jars. You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend. Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack. Three pairs of shoes are more than enough. You almost never have strap problems in public. You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes. Everything on your face stays its original colour. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades. You only have to shave your face and neck. You can play with toys all your life. One wallet and one pair of shoes -- one color for all seasons. You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look. You can 'do' your nails with a pocket knife. You have freedom of choice concerning growing a moustache. You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 23 minutes.

Now I know why Belfast asked "What time is it?".

Hmmmm. That makes Robin's project more intriguing after reading that post - or am I missing something obvious? What happened to Robin's rebuild?

Does your airbox have the lid removed? If so, check to see if the heatshield fabric lining the underside of the tank isn't coming loose and plugging the intake!

I love the flush mount signal lights ....... on his face!

Me? None whatsoever but I did have a vice-principle once. She was quite wonderful actually ...

Jeremy McWilliams! That name sounds familiar ... rather Irish I must say ... perhaps a bit of a racer even!!

It won't be shown in Canada either. It is only on Discovery HD for now.

Tomorrow is the big day for the start of Cafe Racer TV. I don't know a lot about it except they will be building cafe bikes among other things. I hope it isn't too Americanized and ends up like OCC or some such show! CAFE RACER TV

StradaVarious has a new forum page at stradavarious.ca StradaVarious

I guess that makes you a full TIME moderator.

Is the full stop final? I suppose we would have to consult Aristophanes of Byzantium to know if the full stop is truly final!

TIME.

I think a rubber band would work best.

It's still for sale! Daytona RS on eBay But I'd rather have this bike!! Laverda spaceframe endurance racer

Just going through this thread and found a bunch of Tx Redneck posts! What time is it? Who cares!! There was a man!

YEAH! I'm in!

What kind of tree are you parking under? I sense it could be pitch/sap from trees - spring time they tend to exude lots of liquids!

The spoon: A lesson on how consultants can make a difference in an organization. Last week, we took some friends to a new restaurant, 'Steve's Place,' and noticed that the waiter who took our order carried a spoon in his shirt pocket. It seemed a little strange. When the busboy brought our water and utensils, I observed that he also had a spoon in his shirt pocket. Then I looked around and saw that all the staff had spoons in their pockets. When the waiter came back to serve our soup I inquired, 'Why the spoon?' 'Well, 'he explained, 'the restaurant's owner hired Andersen Consulting to revamp all of our processes. After several months of analysis, they concluded that the spoon was the most frequently dropped utensil. It represents a drop frequency of approximately 3 spoons per table per hour. If our personnel are better prepared, we can reduce the number of trips back to the kitchen and save 15 man-hours per shift.' As luck would have it, I dropped my spoon and he replaced it with his spare. 'I'll get another spoon next time I go to the kitchen instead of making an extra trip to get it right now.' I was impressed. I also noticed that there was a string hanging out of the waiter's fly. Looking around, I saw that all of the waiters had the same string hanging from their flies. So, before he walked off, I asked the waiter, 'Excuse me, but can you tell me why you have that string right there?' 'Oh, certainly!' Then he lowered his voice. 'Not everyone is so observant. That consulting firm I mentioned also learned that we can save time in the restroom. By tying this string to the tip of our you-know-what, we can pull it out without touching it and eliminate the need to wash our hands, shortening the time spent in the restroom by 76.39%. I asked quietly, 'After you get it out, how do you put it back?' 'Well,' he whispered, 'I don't know about the others, but I use the spoon.
