Just for the sake of completeness, the muffler has found a new owner.

This popped into my head earlier this evening. Don't know why, but it's always good. Could be that I have posted it before, but as I wrote, it is always good.

Fishing for girls in a boat, maybe? I think I'd be up for that.

Yes, that is all on the schedule, just not for tommorow. I'm currently in the market for a round tuit.

If I had a boat like that, I would most likely be able to die happy.

I know where mine is (not in the bike yet), but I'm not giving it up.

Or put one of these on it. I did, and it is great. With that, you can bleed the clutch like this:

Ok, thanks Phil. I'll be in touch in the next couple of days. Off to work right now...

I just tried to send Scud a PM, as I understand that he is the "Custodian of the Spring", but the forum told me he is "unable to receive messages". So hallo @Scud, or anyone else who has one of the springs available: a chap in a German forum would like one. Are there any available?

You mean you didn't notice that the horn wasn't working? You're obviously far too passive to be operating an Italian vehicle, and I'm afraid I must recommend you sell it and buy a Honda.

That's not the only misspelling on there. On the left of the dial, it should be "hardlies", as in "Hardly Driveable". But apart from that, the dial shows all the information one needs. What else could one want to know?

Ah, that's what they're called. Gotta get me some of them.

Is that a registered trade mark?

Good advice here. I'm also for checking if the pump is getting power before delving in to other possible problems.

That looks really clean. Seems to be a bit of a sad story: part of a deceased estate. Tough for the seller, but maybe good for a buyer.

Yes, although I would like to qualify that. What I see is not a "monster", but rather a person that looks like she would be rather "care intensive". That is the scary bit. She allegedly had a lot of "beauty operations", which indicates a complicated personality in my book, assuming they were not to correct a "fault". As far as "scary" faces go, I have, so to speak, a bit of practice in that. During my first couple of years in Germany, my girlfriend at the time and I had a flat-mate for a while. He was born in Vietnam, and came to Europe via Switzerland as a war victim. Napalm. Half of his scalp and face was scars, as was most of one arm. The hand on that arm had no fingers anymore. I found myself, at the beginning, conciously looking at him when he was looking in another direction just to get used to the sight of it, so he wouldn't get the feeling I was staring when he was looking at me. He was, incidentally, a really nice bloke, and absolutely no "poor little me" attitude. PS: I believe he was 14 or 15 years old when the injuries happened. Collateral damage, as they say.

I just looked her up. Didn't recognise the name immediately, but have seen pictures somewhere sometime in the past.

Me too, but it seems that is compulsory with the Radetsky. It often gets played as an encore at concerts, and as often as not the conductor will actually conduct the audience when to start and stop clapping.

Without wanting to say that is the right thing to do in this case, I've got a cheap one of those, and find it very useful to have.

If you want to get your German visitors up and running, try this. They love it.

And a sissy bar, at least 3 feet long.

As long as Mr. Darwin is allowed to have a say in it, that's ok.

Ah, hadn't noticed that. In the plastic bag next to that extraneous triple clamp...

Oh dear....

Unless maybe the heat was from something a little more aggressive than the heat gun that Pete suggested?
