  1. i certainly hope that he's there to rap it up at PI. his ride last night was astounding, and it could not be said he was on the fastest bike. he was not abought to let rossi intimidate him, he wasn't abought to let him go as seemingly used to happen with gibbers and max. it's great, every race he shows more promise.

    that race had me on the edge of the seat and i must admit for a time there i thought he would throw it away!

    cheers gazza. :bier:

  2. tomorrow here is a public holiday, monday 11th june. but alas it is not her birthday tomorrow it was some time in may i think. but anyway who cares its still a day off with pay for most working australians.

    it used to be celebrated as cracker night or bombfire night! but thats been banned as have fireworks. now its a $1100au fine for using fire works on your own property [more in a public place] up to $5000 i believe.

    cracker night used to be such fun as a kid spending weeks before hand building giant bombfires to be sacrificed to the gods of fire. yes there was some havoc some mailboxes blown to pieces, many pets that ranaway and hid. a lot of too slow kids with burnt swollen hands, but i have many fond memorys of big fires

    all of the community gathered around the fire on these cold june nights, and even a highland pipe and drum band marching in a circle around the fire. it sure was a spectacle of sight and sound. but saddly its all gone,

    now its just a long weekend of higher fuel prices, double demerit points and above average road kill.

    and the large supermarkets even increase the take away beer prices for the weekend just to help celebrate

    the queens birthday. i'm so sad that i don't even leave my home now on these weekends. yours gary. :oldgit:

    light bulb could have been changed differently.

     

    7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs.

    AND RATCHETHAK to point out all others used incorrect procedure! :grin:

    6 to argue over whether it's 'lightbulb' or 'light bulb' ... another 6

    to condemn those 6 as stupid.

    15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that light

    bulb is perfectly correct.

    this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group.

    all

    headers and signatures, and add "Me too."

     

    5 to 'post' to the group that they will no longer 'post' because they

    13 to say "please do a Google search on light bulbs before 'posting'

    questions about light bulbs."

  4. Hi all, well I am here and you are not :P

     

    I arrivived wednsday around midday via seacat, with an engine fault and so boat ran late! good old steam racket huh.

    Boat was packed and I spent mostof journey chattin to a ww2 veteran on his way to watch the races,interestin guy too. tales of service on a sub hunter group.....

    I met my german friends and pitched tent in their garden, these folks are so nice people and I am fortunate to have made such friends at a prev tt.

    Practice has been a spectacle in itself......the atmosphere here is fantastic.

    Douglas has bkes along every street! The roads are busy and to go around the course against the flow is very very risky....

    I am off to watch at kirk michael in a few minutes so have to go.....

     

    so just rub it in basterd. :thumbsup: enjoy the experience, and give a good report!

  5. Not investigated yet, Chris, but I'll bear in mind the Ebay tip, and the German Jap starter adaption kit - thanks. Magnets glued to the outer casing. Hmmm.........

     

     

    :2c: glued yes! this happened on friends cali..magnets came adrift. :blush:

  6. Well it wasn't a hotel, but I did spend my honeymoon in a Nissen hut in the mountains, in the middle of winter, with no electricity, or water.

     

    (And wedding night in the back of a ford Fiesta, Mk1, on way to said mountain abode.)

     

    :nopic:
