  1. Hmmm.. it looks a bit like the bike in your avatar pic, dh.
  2. Can't find the thread on Richard Britton from a year and a half ago or so. Deleted? Came across this bit of video on YouTube For Big J, if he appears...
  3. what like this? no This dropped out? no
  4. Not correct but partly right
  5. n'est pas – non, mais non, mais non. might be, but then again...
  6. It doesn't have a flat tyre
  7. For a Standard Point, what make? bonus Wilson Points* are offered if you can identify what's wrong with this machine. * invisible
  8. History? They've been a fitment on various police and army vehicles here for many a long year.
  9. If we're going down that road, then, for that bike at least, it has to be Miles Davis, Kind of Buell though the populist pick would be Buell Ives, Ugly Bug Buell
  10. Guzziboy got half a point Jaap got nostalgic for things past Redguzzi got banned for mentioning the word T*nni Mike Wilson got too generous by far Obscure lyrics mentioning Moto Guzzi got an airing So, all in all, not a bad balance of events. Bet there aren't any songs that mention 'Buell'? No. Bodge points are round. The others are more squarish rectangular.
  11. It's used for attaching magnets to. Like a fridge.
  12. ...yeah...but with views of vast horizons I think they call it aspect
  13. Easiest thing would be to mail the seed. And maybe some native soil. Then you get the pleasure of nurturing the stick as it grows and you can train it into whatever purposefully evil shape you want.
  14. You are banned from following those fashions
  15. How did he help us??? all his tyres ever do is wear out.
  16. Flippin eck I was gonna say, "bet that Guzzirider gets this" and sure enough... shame on him. Scritti Politti is pidgin English (political writing) but the connection between Scritti Politti / Gartside and the Forum theme is the lyric of his song, 'Boom! there she was'... ...what are the two missing words? 'The Tupamaros got a platinum card (all right) I got a heart of gold and it's time to get hard (and I like it) A ---- ----- I gotta way to get rich (all right) I gotta library and a seven day itch (and I like It) I got money oh I got around but my life was going nowhere I was looking for love and I want your love baby love When you gonna get me Boom! there she was I was looking for love and I want your love baby love When you gonna get me Boom! there she was - for me The Tupamaros an immutable truth (all right) I got a razor blade an' a beautiful youth (and I like it) A ---- ----- an' a Gaultier pants (all right) I got a reason girl was Immanuel Kant's (and I like it) Pharmacopoeia I got a way with the word (all right) I got an' alphabet that you never have heard (and I like it) (Looking for love now)(Are you looking for me) (I'm looking for love now)(Wanted to get you girl' Please note the rhyming of Gaultier pants with Immanuel Kant's So, what's the best song? This? or A Whiter Shade of Pale? I'm shocked! Is there such a thing?
  17. One is not enough, two is just right, three's too many, ..... four is not enough
  18. Moths like it "The blackthorn is extensively planted for hedging and for cover for game birds. The foliage is sometimes eaten by the larvae of Lepidoptera including Emperor Moth, Common Emerald, November Moth, Pale November Moth, Mottled Pug, Green Pug, Brimstone Moth, Feathered Thorn, Brown-tail, Yellow-tail, Short-cloaked Moth, Lesser Yellow Underwing, Lesser Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing, Double Square-spot and the Black and Brown Hairstreaks.
  19. Seems like that sentence ought to have "Discuss" after it. It deserves a 1500 word essay. (Is there still such a thing as an essay these days?)
  20. This is not a telephone
  21. What's the connection? 2nd clue
  22. As boring and serious mode has been applied, might as well pick a nit. Wheels being made with consistent precision wasn't what I said. It's the spacer length – where I think there was some agreement that 113mm is the size that the factory part is meant to be (rather than 112ish, which some are). Surely that is the important thing? If you've got a part that is the size that it's meant to be, then you're ok. (No need to chuck the factory part over a notional .04mm???) Whereas if you've got one of the parts from a batch that is out of spec (undersized axle spacer, oversized transmission spring boss...) then you'll find it useful to know what the proper factory spec is. The moon must be in the wrong phase. Wait a day or two and try posting again. PS, have you ever seen the sort of stuff that wombats turn out when they're on a Myford? It's my opinion that Pete seriously overstates their capability. So it's the squash that's bad over there? Here, it's the dealer's coffee that's deadly. Mind you, it still wouldn't drive me to consuming bearings. The metallic taste may provide initial distraction, but it really doesn't help. Tell your friend to try iced buns instead.
  23. The size of the oem part seems to depend on the state of the moon over Italy when the things are being churned out. It's like the tides. If the pull of the moon was stronger, you got a longer spacer. Most wheels were built at the time of high spring tides and they match fine with the long spacer. Those of us who got spacers made when the moon was a bit feeble, find that they are generally 1mm too short. There is/was consensus that the correct length should be 113mm. Whether any individual hub matches that length exactly, will of course only be found by individual measurement. Okydoke..what with your kind enquiry and all, I've just gone and measured my new 'piece'. Sure enough, it is 113mm. I had made a washer from a bit of 1mil galvanised that I had to hand and added it to my short (112mm) spacer when I replaced the wrecked bearing (s). With that fitted, the bearings have held out ok, so I reckon that 113 is the optimal length for a general purpose fit, unless you want an exact, nanometre match to your hub. ! You're right ! That put's a different perspective on... well EVERYTHING! Run for the hills!
