Sometimes, What/Why? Guys listen to stuff like this: Bill Laswell Beyond The Zero Hooters Guys listen to: (hmm, probably too busy looking...) and of course, the Twiddlers listen to: (do they ever listen?) well, you tell me

Seems to me, going on evidence, that there are two types of guys: the Hooters Guys – 86 pages and counting and the What / Why? Guys – only about 40 pages : ( Well there's a third category: The Twiddlers. They measure air temperature and stuff like that. Glad to see you here Jim, though I kinda had you down as a Hooters Guy , at heart.

I guess those are the links to the walking sculpture stuff – and they react to water etc. Yes they're great. There is walking furniture there too somewhere. A bit more mundane, but interesting ok.

and some dental floss

Close enough, Shetland. Ork bikes! Guzzi inspiration for Pierre 'Hypermotard' Terblanche?

Well, seeing it's you Orson, I'll post this link here. I got it from another site and your comment prompts me to pass it on. I'm sure you'll enjoy. Edge of the world adventure ride (thanks to Fish for the inspired link)

As they are motorcyclists, i.e. wild marauding viking hell's angel two-wheeled tricycle sidecar riding outcasts: I suppose that they communicate only in grunts and by prodding with sticks.

I watched a tv motoring programme, a Scottish language, made in Scotland, thing. As a programme, it was as inane as such low budget special interest motor car programmes often are. However this episode promised exciting two-wheel action with a feature where they visited the Simmer Dim bike rally up in Shetland. The programme led off with the description that they would be spending the weekend riding with the Hells Angels ! It then showed a load of parked bikes: Susuki, Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki... my,my, the Angels must have changed their tastes... All the descriptions of bikers were as 'wild bikers' and similar. Then the bikes that they featured and rode on were all..... sidecars, particularly a Goldwing combination (and there was a trike). Wild, man. What is it, that such tv/media presentations are always from the narrow, blinkered angle that any two-wheel feature means: 'wild bikers', 'marauding bikers' 'Hells Angels' – and then all they show are actually THREE wheels and doddering, inoffensive old gents!? Is television produced by idiots?

CLASS!!!

Fabulous. Eventually, Special Place for Banter and Other Silly Remarks has come good!

Sacrebleu!

By the way, as a matter of interest etc do you guys, over there, have digestive biscuits? If so, do you call them something, well, let's say a little more modern?

The Moto Guzzi Baguette Now there's a fine name for a motorcycle.

Mercy!

Never mind what weather it is, what's your time like? Mine is short. And getting shorter.

Oh yeah, let's! What's your address? We'll send Dr Ratchet around for a 'chat'.

Exactly. I thought that you were just making a joke / a funny reference because of what you had seen about the BMW stuff. Plain and simple – it was funny – nice observation, Dan. As for all the tech observations, by everybody, they are fine stuff too, but I reckoned that if you had actually meant to start another tech discussion, you would have done it in the proper place, i.e. the gold mine that is Tech Topics.

It's from a common or garden vehicle space heater description actually. Again, you miss the point and again I refer you to the Forum title. Your 'Mastery of the Obvious' is slipping Ratchet. I recommend a weekend vacation in San Francisco: be sure to wear some flowers in your hair. ** I don't mean a garden vehicle. I mean a 'common or garden' vehicle. ** Not to be construed as a space vehicle or referring to 'heating outer space'. This is 'obviously' for heating the space in a vehicle. It could be a space vehicle, with suitable modifications. Any suggestions for such modifications are welcome. Do put any thoughts on how best to test such a device (a tricky nut. given the extremes of temperature that it would have to cope with) in Tech Topics though. BTW, enquiring minds etc... Do people in San Francisco use hair dryers on their hair – or not, for fear of wilting the flowers? Perhaps that's what encouraged the craze for alt hair dryer usage and has resulted in pointing at sensors and the like. I suppose they don't really need hair dryers, for hair drying, cos they got so they gotta do something with the things. DL ("bring a pot of water to a boil – perhaps by pointing hair dryers at it – reduce heat just enough to maintain roughly 100C, stick the sensor holders into the water") No, enough alt. Usually you guys confine your whacky notions to Tech Topics (who left the door open?). Stick to dunking teabags. Take it from me, you'll not better the taste.

See new post in 24/7 on MGS 01 video. It will either help you, or make you sick.

MGS 01 on track

Somebody should photocopy the MG V block into a 15th Anniversary 2010 Triumph Speed Triple and sell it to Guzzi.

Mackerel? I always it thought that it was kippers you keep in your boots. NB I resisted the temptation to say, 'sole'

Ratchet you seem, again, to have missed the point. Perhaps you didn't see what Forum you are posting in, or even properly read the first post and it's title.

Well it's like this: when there is a difference in air pressure between location A and location B, then air will flow, or move, from the area of higher pressure to the lesser. Sometimes this is called wind, or gusting. Dan has been a bit lazy and hasn't specified his location or the prevailing barometrics. I'd be guessing, but I'd go for about Force 2 on the Beaufort Scale, though I like to imagine, if he's any sort of man at all, that it was approaching gale force 10. Mainly it boils down to what speed he was doing at the time, as this air flow thing is so relative.
