Swearing at the boss is a bad thing?

[That looks like fun]

When you shine a torch into the sky and turn it off why cant you see the end of the beam of light as it travels away from you :blink:
If you pull the plug out of the wall and bung both ends of the cord together really really quick can you trick the electricity left inside the cable into going round and round forever :shutup:
These are the questions that trouble me as I drive my shiny truck around staring in envy at every passing motorcyclist.
When it all becomes to much to cope with I like to swear at people :angry: It never fixes anything but I just like the way swear words sound :innocent:
Sooooooooooo.... I am on holiday from the 20th until the 31st. Bosses are just so sensitive nowadays :facepalm:
Whats North of Auckland? is there any land up there :scooter: I feel the need to go somewhere :love:

Cause I'm the BOSS!! :yes:

[dino3310]

does that mean you were stood down for the swearing or have you got a real holiday

[young1]

Interesting thoughts, I will mull on those tonight while I try to sleep...

One for you, why is white wear called white wear??

One way that will really help improve your mood is change the letters saying BMW in your shed to KTM!!

(Are you on leave or have you been stood down for disciplinary reasons?).

Come on now Mr Young, your just being silly :innocent:
Cant be for disciplinary reasons as I have no discipline to start with :woohoo:
No it was recommended that perhaps I need a break and who am I to argue with a suggestion such as that :innocent:

Oh yeah, its not called White wear, its White WARE :facepalm: But I expects no better from KTM owners such as yourself. :blink:
Righto I'm off outside to look for that beam of lights bum :yes:

[cowboyz]

and all you did is swear??? FFS I spend half my life swearing at people and all I get is more work! I need some tips!

[YellowDog]

Me too.

But I worked out that it is because others swear more/worse than I do.

Perhaps a training course is required!

[oldrider]

Shit a brick, no swearing, no conversation! :facepalm: Such a PC world we live in now! :crybaby:

[Padmei]

While riding contemplate this

If a man speaks in a forest & if a woman is not around to hear- is he still wrong?

... and if an orange is called an orange why isn't a lemon called a yellow?... and why is a second called a second when there is only one of them? ...and .... and I need a holiday too :blink:

Back to my office surveying building stuff, my job would be much easier if you could buy holes from Placemakers etc, probably cheapest in black too cos all the holes I have seen seem to be black .. I guess you could buy other colours :crazy:

Cheers for that mate :yes: Current plan is North to ... oh lets say Te Rapa ish :woohoo: on Friday then further North from there :scooter: A mate wants to go to the World Rowing Champs (whats a rowing :blink: )at Karapiro. He has suggested I meet him at TeAroha for a swimp (the p is silent :sick:). Plan is fairly loose other than that :love: Tent is strapped on the back, headlight is at the front, the rest I will make up as I go along :facepalm:
Dont sell the couch just in case :corn:

Colin is heading towards Akld now.
Excellant ride up the Te Akau coast, with a stop at the Nikau Cafe/Sunset beach at Pt Waikato, and a fang over Klondyke Rd.
Me n Dino parted ways with him at "two a cow", and highwayed it back to the tron.
I only hit one ewe, and got some fleece souvaneir. (I think the ewe is a bit bruised:blink:)

You got it brudda:msn-wink:
Couldn't resist those swing'n dags:love:

[dino3310]

i gave it a tap on the arse as i went past so that would have worked her up a little for ya, we'll call it a naki tag team.
Fook that highway sucks on a pig, then the missus was parked in the way so i had to get stuck in the garden again:2thumbsup

awesome ride up and with stunning weather:woohoo:

[Phreaky Phil]

Those Waikato sheep would'ntve even seen it comin. So naive :facepalm:

[Phreaky Phil]

Is it all right if the boss swears at you, cause i betya he is !!:shutup:

[tri boy]

He will be that doped up on pain killers, he wouldn't notice the language anyway:yes:

[Taz]

What are we missing here guys? C'mon spill the beans.

[That looks like fun]

The left handed tourist is in the naki :woohoo:
What a ride, and what an awesome way to clear a blocked head. 8 days, 3000ks of which at least two thirds was on gravel. Met some neat people (a special big up to the mechanic at the Whangarei Honda dealer who stayed on to fix a broken clutch cable :yes: ) and met one arsehole (who felt it was important that he get fuel and the redneck homo BMW rider in his way should move right now :angry:)
Thanks to Brent for the bed and to Dino for the pleasure of his company on two days.
High lights, many :woohoo: most memorable sitting on a beach at Russel as the fog burnt off and watching a pod of Dolphin pass doing things that dolphin do best. A moment of realization of what is important :love:
Low light, just the one, sticking my baby in the ditch :bye: Yes a poor decision was involved :facepalm: damage, sprained rotatercuff (or some medical word like that), about six muscles involved but I have two more weeks off work and the mother load of pain killers :innocent:
Babe got dragged from the ditch by a big blue tractor and suffered some flesh wounds of her own, two stuffed panniers, some indicators minor scratches and some buggered engine protection at a glance, haven't had a surgical look yet.:crybaby:
Despite the disapproving mutterings of the farmers wife (something about dumb males, but at least she didn't think I was a redneck home) Some stupid bugger got back into his jacket and rode home with very limited and extremely painful use of his right arm.
So is swearing at the Boss a bad thing? probably but I think for the next two weeks he will be swearing at me :shutup:
As a footnote apparently Carlos Sienz has been in the same drain :woohoo:

[dino3310]

photos from 1mp phone so not that great, where photo taken on bridge is bouts where braking comenced, the sign post ahead was narowly avoided(how i dont know, but thank fuck it wasnt hit) so went to the right of that and 5m or so on was col on the bank and the water cooled GS was sitting where the great Carlos parked his rally car.
That corners caught a lot of people out sez the locals, might email the council and try getting a warning sign.
Appart from that it was a beaut 2 days ride with a naki hardcore:yes:
222502222503

[Taz]

Damn that's a silly place to park :shutup:

[tri boy]

Like Sainz, looks like Col knows how to "back it in " also.:shutup:
(Seriously though, you were lucky to avoid that wooden post).

[That looks like fun]

The post was the problem mate :gob: I was so focused on not hitting it that I didn't have a plan on what to do once I got past it :facepalm:
The whitebait didn't show up in your pics Dino. Still haven't dropped the oil from the final drive so might find one in there :blink:
So far we are looking at a broken pannier mount, some engine protection, plus there is something funny in the gear position sensor, reads that I have one gear and a neutral position :blink:
Physio today, they are sending me to a special person Wednesday. (I know I'm special, my Mum told me :love:) They think I have an Avulsion Fracture, which sounds pretty flash :woohoo: If they stick my shoulder in a cast I will be much safer should I fall off :innocent:

[young1]

Glad you are back in one piece Colin,

Now the real reason you headed for the drain - maybe a sheep down there stuck in a fence......?

[That looks like fun]

Ewe :love: are just being silly Mr Young, thats not like Ewe at all :facepalm:
I was after the whitebait in the drain, :love: them things are gold plated ya know :woohoo:

[dino3310]

So what the spiecal person say no not that Mr Perkins the other Mr Perkins :blink:

Went out to the farm this arvo, those people are just awesome - me and the young fella went out there with a box of piss and came back with a tray of eggs and the boy had a smile ear to ear:woohoo: lovely little community out there reminds me why i hate living in town:angry:

[That looks like fun]

Cheers for that Dino, free range eggs, Yummo :love: Should have grabbed some of those white bait to go with them. :yes:
Specialist says I need an MRI scan, cant get one for 6 weeks :angry: I have private medical Insurance but because ACC is involved Insurance wont pay so buggered if I know what I am supposed to do for 6 weeks :blink: More Physio tomorrow (which ACC say I need but don't pay for) :angry:
Might just bite the bullet and go back to work :woohoo: I still have enough pain killers left to drop a charging Rhino so will fill up on them each day and hope a bit. really cant afford to sit and wait until someone decides I am broken :facepalm:
On the plus side I dropped the oils out of the scooter yesterday F/D was a bit milky but g/box oil was good. So looks like no problems there that fresh oil wont fix :yes:
Front ends a bit of a different story :shit: Something is bent in the frame that holds the oil cooler, and headlight. Forks and sub frames look good so hopefully its no more than a tweak with a hammer, goodo type fixity jobby :innocent:
Wife is talking about going for a ride this weekend :crybaby: Woman can be so cruel :love:

[Phreaky Phil]

6 weeks. What a pile of :bs: By that time if its broken it should have healed, If you havent gone back to work you will be broke, and if it hasnt healed it'll be that buggered that it never will.:brick::brick::brick:

[That looks like fun]

Its not the flashest system mate :angry: The bit that grates is that I have medical Insurance so if ACC didnt exist I could get a scan tomorrow :gob:
Perhaps if I was a world class rugby player or some other essential trade like that I could get a look in :violin:
On the plus side I tore some more bits off babe today and the frame that holds the instruments, headlight etc looks like it can be straightened by correctly applied force :blink:
And at the end off the day ACC never threw me in the ditch :facepalm:

Might go outside tomorrow and sit on babe :scooter: :crybaby:

[That looks like fun]

Its alive I tell you :shutup: alive :love: Babe is almost all good again. Rode her down and got a new WOF today :scooter: Good to be back in the saddle even with a sore wing :wings: Man from ACC has finally decided to stop telling me to go back to work :violin: (onto my third case manager already, they are dropping like flies :innocent: ) and this one is working on getting the MRI brought forward :woohoo: Its as big a miracle as a virgin giving birth :blink:


Not brave enough to tell me other babe I went for a ride yet :facepalm:

[Crisis management]

Hi Colin, sorry I'm late to this but glad you're not too injured, look after yourself and get well eh, or I'll come down and give you another hug & kiss. :love:

When I needed an MRI 3 years ago as soon as I mentioned medical insurance the Doctor had me in 2 days later after having given me an option of times. However that was a medical thing and not ACC .

[That looks like fun]

Same with my Hernia years ago, 18 month waiting list :shit: oh you have Medical Insurance, can you be in Hospital tomorrow morning please :woohoo:.
Unfortunately because ACC have accepted the claim medical insurance wont pay out :facepalm:
However my case manager has managed to get my scan brought forward one week so I should be grateful (Insert TUI ADD here) :blink:

[dino3310]

:corn::wait::corn::wait::whistle:

[That looks like fun]

As the Founding member of the Taranaki Right Wing Wounded By Waikato Buggers Club :facepalm: I am pleased to announce that I survived the MRI :yes: What an ungodly machine that is :shit:
They shove ya head first into a long white tunnel and say "now hold still" They then leave the room and close a bloody big steel door behind them :shutup: Is this safe?
After that the noise starts, I will never complain about noisy bikes again :scooter:
So all that is done its back to the waiting thing :blink: I see the specialist next Wednesday :woohoo: The way the shoulder feels at present I think it will be back to work :crybaby:
Nooles is in the Elbow Club :drinkup: thats a slightly lower order than the Shoulder Group :corn:

[dino3310]

Those MRIs are a scary thing i near shit myself when i had me back looked at, im not closti closti closti...... affraid of confined spaces, but man that some freaky contraption. Good to hear you on the mend mate:woohoo:

No Knives required :yes::yes::yes::woohoo:
