Mr Fro

You beat me to it six I would never beat any one to a salad What's the special dressing then?

On the way home I was overtaking someone on A11 when a power ranger on a 68 plate something came up behind me and stuck on my rear nearside. I couldn't move back in anyway as the guy was so close but that didn't matter as he zipped up the inside moments after I passed the car I was overtaking and gave me the w**ker sign. These nobs give us a bad name. I wouldn't have cared if he'd just buggered off because we all do it but the insult was uncalled for. The audacity of it!

Why just the two choices? I think there should be more choice in the matter, you know, sparkle it up with a bit of razzmatazz. They're as good as dead anyway so I reckon there should be a wild-card option where the victim's family get to chose whatever they want.

You're in luck boys and girls as I have a solution: Let's simply turn Sheppy in to a small version of Australia. I mean it's already pretty bad, right... Bit of fence round the outside, gate on the bridge and it's ready to go. Plus we could turn it in to a revenue generating enterprise because as well as being a cesspit for our human turds, it could double as a game reserve for all those people around the world who want to pop a cap in to someone's arse no questions asked.

I kind of agree with [mention]Joeman[/mention]. Side story bit somehow related: When I was plod I was out and about one night and pulled a car with a busted light or something. The driver was a black female with her little kids in the back. I gave the woman the heads up about her light (or whatever it was) while my crew mate said hello to the kids. When he popped back up he said something along the lines of "lovely couple of monkeys you've got there" in the way you do about other people's kids. The look of horror that passed over his face just a split second later when he realised what he had said was something to behold. Honestly, you've never seen a white guy turn so white. Anyway, I thanked the woman and let her on her way. What we got back in our car he started going on about how he didn't mean it that way and was petrified of her making a complaint. She didn't obviously because she took it in the way it was meant. /story Tl;dr: Some things said in a totally innocuous way can easily be misconstrued.

If I was you I would IMMEDIATELY stop giving a shit and get on with my life. Even if you had evidence then sod all would happen anyway.

For the piss takers: Have you ridden one? I'm definitely a sports bike rider but I really enjoyed having a Goldwing. Just like every bike out there - ride it like a codger and it'll dawdle along, put in a bit of effort and you can get a good old shift on. Plus, you can fit so much beer in one of those things.

I used a full set of Athena gaskets/seals on my turbo build. Everything fit well and seemed good quality.

They can be quite odd over at BCF... They even have a member (T.C.) who is always right about everything regardless of knowledge or experience.

something tells me you don't like lorry drivers To be fair, they're fine when they're not causing havoc during rush hour by driving like inconsiderate tag nuts.

Did I mention HGV/lorry drivers? F**king useless ***** to a man.

Who am I supposed to be outraged about? I quite like the bloke in his garage. So much so that I spent most of the afternoon watching some of his other vids. After all, if you can trust a bloke puffing on rollies and knocking back redbull...

Are you seriously trying to tell is you've not serviced a mutt or two?

Yes you're right, -1+2 is the rule of thumb. I've got renthal on my track bike which seem fine. For chains, the only way to take off any sort of meaningful mass is to get a small gauge i.e. stick a 625 on if it currently has a 630 etc. Obviously, you have to check the chain can take the power of the bike and you have to get matching sprockets.

That doesn't make much sense though. Having the engine engaged does not equal control. Maybe 50 years ago when drum brakes were all the rage it did because they overheated very easily compared to discs. Think about some autoboxes and hybrids, they completely disengage the drivetrain when not under power.

As has been said it just lowers your control slightly How?

Bad form for not giving yourself an intro and just barging straight in with a plug banana! I had a squiz at a couple of your vids and I quite like them. Your style is really good without zillions of cuts which is a nice change. You seem nice and relaxed and talk at just the right pace without loads of waffle so... tick. Stick around and join in on forum stuff!

I've no idea , two-strokes are not my thing . It's early days yet , I never expected it to start at all . It won't be dieseling, the compression ratio isn't high enough. You're probably right that it's running out of fuel.

Nah, that's different ingredients. SBK mixed up with paraffin is a very good weedkiller but it's frowned on a bit by garden people.

I get mine from a garden centre. They don't like it when you buy paraffin and weedkiller at the same time though.

Hmm... Sounds curiously arousing.

I head butted a pigeon on my way to picking up a Chinese takeaway (so going pretty quick). It was a glancing blow which left a nasty, greasy smear on my brand new lid. We've got plenty of pheasants round here which I'm not concerned about. It's the deer that I lookout for!

Reacher as in Lee Child?

Has there been some sort of post mix up with mumsnet?

I think you've taken a bit of an extreme view of the original post which is unusual for you BD. How about in terms of disruption? Is it reasonable to have a lorry full of potatoes turn up 12 seconds early due to a 5 mile overtaking maneuver at the cost of delaying a huge queue of car drivers by a couple of minutes a piece?
