Her moment of inertia is centered around her shoulders.

There are "sports" sunglasses available that stay on (for the most part...) during that sort of funny buggers.

Yes, yes. I dated a girl in college whose "moment of inertia [was] centered around her shoulders " . . .

Installed the Roper plate today. 
A couple pics to quell Docc's pic addic

Longer bolts leave about 1 thread unfilled. Happy. 
New O-rings in cooler tubes make less worries. 
Fit is perfect as before.

I do wonder why my photo edits turn themselves sideways or upside down.

As far as I understand it, things like mobile phones register metadata about how the phone was being held when the photo was taken, and rotate the photo on the basis of that so that it looks the right way up when you look at it on the same device.

Some photo viewers on computers can read that metadata, and show the photo "the right way up". Some programs can't, and therefore show the photo upside down, or sideways, as it was actually taken.. The forum software can't read the metadata, probably.

The solution is to open the photos in a program like GIMP, which shows you the photo without correction, and has a function to rotate it to the right way up. And is free, and can scale the file size of the picture, and lots and lots of other stuff, most of which I don't know how to do.

Edit: @Pressureangle do you like this picture better? Rotating it took about three minutes, because GIMP takes a while to start on this fairly old laptop.

TLDR lol

I always use the phone upright, and my Win7 edit program displays them in whatever orientation it feels like. Then I have to rotate to upright, save, and re-open to verify that it's what I want to post. Sometimes it's not important, as with these. 

I decided early on to be a lazy computer user rather than an adept or a programmer. I still lament WIN XP.

I don't. For many applications that I had as a sound engineer, it was a right royal pain in arse.

that points to why I prefer GIMP. It is not from Microsoft, and accordingly works properly and delivers what it promises.

I hope you keep all your old fasteners that you remove from the bike and keep them in a safe place ?

I am currently in the process of sorting out all the fasteners I've kept over the past 45 years, and those my Father and Grandfather kept as well. I expect the scrap weight of those discarded will buy coffee and donuts for at least a week.

[gstallons]

I have been sorting metric/standard bolts/nuts/washers for about 6 weeks (to keep my sanity also) now and I am still sorting things out. I have tried keeping  all the MG stuff together just wanting to keep them together.  Those bolt thread sort tools have been a savior !  

[Pressureangle]

The PO is still out of town so I can't ask if he's found any additional bits- 
Taking inventory of what I need to acquire, at least the things I can identify before I need them.
1 pivot bolt and nut
1 long crossbolt for rear trans mount through the porkchops

Easy enough to find at the breakers, but there are many different pivot bolts and not always identified adequately by the seller... What fits, who may know? it appears some differences may be nothing more than the tool used to turn the bolt, and the style of nut retaining it.
