Underfloor is excellent though as basement garage etc

Nice Orange K12 Micra Bonez. My last car was an Autech tuned one of those, the rage it got when you overtook a knuckle dragger in a SS or ute etc on a twisty road was hilarious.
In my previous life as a chorus tech I did come across a few old grow operations in ceilings, quite often the ocupents were unaware of their existence. Also used to see a fair few ceilings used as a firearm safe, guess if it fits it sits lol

Should try the one I had, 5speed manual, tuned engine up to 110hp, stiffened chassis and suspension, bigger front brakes, bucket seats etc... Wasn't particularly fast in a straight line but it fucking dominated a twisty road. Still in the family it's my Mum's daily, I had to get rid of it as it was a bit too busy on a long drive to be fresh when I got there to do work, loved it to bits though and still get to take it for the odd thrash. There is something to be said about being able to use all the available power when you're having some fun...
A bit higher... One of the crossover SUV things will probably be ya best bet, they're boring as bat shit to drive but if all you want is an around towner that'd do ya fine. If you want a good turning circle stay the fuck away from a Ford Focus, the one in my ST is fucking horrendous for a any car let alone a hatch.

Yeah we are looking at SUV types. We had a Mitsi RVR untill Connies was side swiped. Has to be an auto though again because of Conies arthritis. I hardly use a car and prefer my bikes. :niceone:

Really?
Made by a company started by a university graduate in 1996, at which point a lot of millennials were probably still having their bottys wiped by their helicopter mothers.
I think you are getting confused between things being created by millennials, and things being developed by boomers and Gen X in companies who have figured out there is a whole demographic who are stupid enough to replace something still fully functional just because there is a newer one available.
Not quite Friday night yet, but nothing wrong with starting early on a Friday....

I wasn't conscripted ... I joined on my own free will. Life was about sex, booze and Rock and Roll ... And getting out of camp at any given chance. You could lock your doors ... but there was no need. All the cretins were already in the bar with you.
Never owned a house ... It wasn't a priority. My income dictated my expenditure. Being paid fortnightly ... off pay week was a bitch. And there were plenty of them.
Youth suicide is about having issues they can't or wont deal with. Simply because they never learned (or were never shown) what was really important. Like buying stuff with money you worked for. Knowing costs ... but not value. Value depends on how much actual importance you put on things. Your idea of importance priority can change. Often daily. Deal with issues at the time ... and move on win or lose. The moving on bit is the hardest.
Not getting what you want or expect(ed) CAN be depressing. Even (so called) Grown ups know this. Such disappointment should not be fatal. The "I want" group override's the "I NEED" group. What I regarded as being luxuries ... many now regard as essential.
Moral values depend on examples they've seen and experienced. Usually with approval from those they know and trust. Often a parent ... but usually (and almost always) a friend. Choose your friends carefully ... They can get you into a power of shit. Some of mine sure did ... or I got them into a power of shit ... (we sort of took turns).
It's a crime only if you get caught (apparently) ... 18 years of undetected crime (in the armed forces) gets you a medal. And totally deserved in only a few cases. An increase in crime doesn't always mean smarter crim's ... just more of them. Simply weight of numbers overload the policing "System". Jail is usually just "A hazard of the job".
Nothing more.
"Massive inequality in Housing" does not exist. Priorities that you have day one after leaving school usually do not include buying a house. Sex drugs and Rock and Roll ... and a "few good times" take priority. And many start that BEFORE they leave school. I saw on a tv doco once about people on welfare ... they were moaning about the fact they couldn't afford to buy a house on a Benefit. Here was I thinking ... that is not what the Benefits were for.
You get what you can afford from the efforts you make. If you can't make the effort ... you wont afford much. Here was I thinking ... you can't afford NOT to make the effort ... if that's what you want. I didn't ... but I don't claim now ... that it's "MY RIGHT" to own one. If I couldn't be bothered to make the effort ... why should I expect others to be bothered enough to finance it for me .. ??

I was chatting with an old mate of mine at the pub last night, he mentions he bought a new Harley then asks me “have you got a bike yet”
I pondered on that question after answering regretfully “no”.
I was met with a tirade of questions “why not!?”, “what’s wrong with ya!?” etc etc.
It got me thinking...
I don’t have a bike because I am on my restricted license.
And quite frankly you wouldn’t catch me dead on another 250cc or LAMS.
I need 1,000cc plus.
But that would count me out of getting my full license (because I don’t have said bike).
...What are the actual chances of me getting caught on a big bike? = very minimal I reckon.
Because quite frankly the current law system just doesn’t sit well with me.
This has left me thinking - jump straight to a big bike or keep my head down and tow the line??
Miss that feeling of riding a big bike and feeling/hearing that power.
Does that make a criminal??
I don’t think so.

I'm pretty disappointed with that result but not too surprised. I've had plenty of conversations with people who are happily quaffing wine and beer then jumping into the car to drive home - "just round the corner" - who have regaled me with the evils of weed.

Some pretty good reasons for preventing squids jumping onto a 200hp bike.
I've been riding since steam was invented and I would not go near a sprot bike over 750cc, even on track. Especially on track to be fair.
I get the more power buzz, but you can't get anywhere near accessing it on the road without being a fuck knuckle. They are an exercise in frustration most of the time.
Just my take on it.

So we have Dean confirming he can't commit. Can't have the house he wants in Dorkland - so won't buy at all.
Can't have the bike he wants - so won't have one at all.
Millennials eh....
Anyway, we have an infestation of millennials here. Bastards have upset my nice quiet arrangements locally.
One pair are running around the village on unregistered, loud dirtbikes - often helmetless too.
Another pair are annoying the shit out of everyone with a Harley and a Victory - with I think straight pipes.
Locals are forming a lynching committee - and have the cops watching too. Names are known to the cops too.
Just a matter of time.
But my testing arrangements - acceptable to the locals as I go out of the village - are just as illegal.
So while the locals assure me they don't want to see me caught, it's just as likely. So the fun has stopped for the meantime.
And I've got two bikes to sort. No hurry luckily.
And an old mate who lives down the road a ways tells me that the area is under observation due to the recent arrival of a couple of gang houses - in the middle of nowhere too.
Bastards. Fuck off.

Each to their own, obviously, but I have been riding since they split the atom and since I gave up skydiving I cannot find anything that gives me the same rush as redlining through as many gears as I dare on a quiet bit of a road on a proper sports bike. Surely that is what bikes are for, not trundling around town with a target on your back or pretending you are a cowboy?
Anyway, rant - https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/123216950/closed-borders-show-we-cant-just-blame-tourist-drivers-for-our-road-death-toll
1. Great to see the Police acknowledge the reasons our road toll is our road toll - Driving too fast for the conditions or at unsafe speeds, driving while tired, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs, driving distracted such as using a cellphone, or not wearing seatbelts. I agree with that 100 percent, and no mention of compliance with arbitrary speed limits. Be nice if it it flowed in to some enforcement to actually target the road toll but alas I can't see it.

Unfortunately the judge will not see it that way. He is very unlikely to agree that it's your prerogitive.

A speed limit has been placed on every road or street ... in every part of New Zealand. It is in NZ legislation.
But ...it is in no way ALWAYS safe to travel at that speed. Either due to weather (rain/wind/fog/frost etc) ... darkness ... traffic volume ... unsuitable vehicles for that speed ... tailgating ... and (too often) just lack of realistic driving experience and skills at those/any speeds. Add in the possible booze/drugs scenario ... and the likelihood of problems on the road increases. I probably missed out a few other things ... but you are probably aware of these one's anyway. If you're not ... you might be part of the problem.
Drivers poor decision making even at whatever those (legal) speeds are ... often leaves a lot to be desired (Understatement .. ??). I have no doubt that YOU might have crossed paths with a few doing the above (on those same roads I have ) and (at the time) they may have even caused you a little "[I]Unhappiness". If you haven't ... I might understand your comment.
The only effective/realistic (and legal) method of reducing the effects of the above ... is enforcing the speed limit. Thus an attempt to reduce the damage ... not remove it as such.
Unless you can suggest (and get implemented) an alternative (not to mention EFFECTIVE) course of control for the above "Problems" ... the current control measures will be taken. I personally can't see any change of such happening anytime soon.
Can YOU .. ???

And how's that working? It isn't. It does nothing for all the items in my post that actually contribute to fatal crashes. We could all drive 20km/h slower everywhere and people would still die. It's the reality that for some reason people are just unwilling to accept.

As I've pointed out once on KB before, speed is a measurement of distance over time. For you to be in that exact spot to be hit head on etc you'd need to have been doing whatever speed whether high or low to be in that exact place. Call it fate or whatever but I'm resigned to the fact that one day someone may cut a corner in front of me and I'll be toast.

Ive narrowed my shopping list down to:

- Also Ducati Diavel Sport (2018-2019 models).
Just got to figure out how I’m going to address this license issue.
This whole thing doesn’t sit well with me and quite frankly someone needs to change the current rules pronto because it’s not working.
Can I hire my own private instructor for a test?
Ideal if I could map out the test run - get one of my nice scenic routes whilst passing my test.

But 20 km'hr slower ... Still a definite possibility in future law changes for some roads .. (already happened on some roads) .. fewer people might die. If you are regularly over the speed limit ... one of those people might be you. And it may well be ... not be in any way your fault.
Such are the basis of the deaths statistics.
And as I said in MY post ... "Unless you can suggest (and get implemented) an alternative (not to mention EFFECTIVE) course of control for the above "Problems" ... the current control measures will be taken." You didn't suggest any alternative course of action in YOUR post.

I turned up at my licence with no warrant.
I'd bought a GSX250 as my first legal bike, well, roadbike, 1st was an XR250 with no sidestand and I didn't fancy leaning it up against Pierce house on the footpath, no indicators mirrors or much of a muffler.
Next bike was an RD350 with the obligatory 250 stickers mocked over the originals.
Bought the humble GSX
Cop got bored of looking for the WOF and we carried on. I'd never considered the bike I'd just bought didn't have a wof. Had just done a bike course so aced the carpark test easily as was much easier. I took road sign directions badly but he couldn't fault me riding so I passed. Guess I would have failed these days.

...I have a bit of a rant...one that could either take four thousand words or just a synopsis of those four thousand words...
...I will opt for the synopsis of the tale...
...five or six years ago this ginga cunt who we wont name, well me really, was in a big dilemma ...three stone down in weight over a three month period, thinking he was down and out and the big C had come to collect him, he had a little bit of distress over-riding the bonhomie of his usual dimena...then the verdict from the medicos came...type 2 diabetes son, you'll be cool...take these pills, don't eat this and don't eat that ...oh and here's the recipe for losing weight...wtf , I made 70's images of Biafran kids look overweight...
...the ginga had to trust these professionals 'cos he knew fuck all about diabetes, and then he was one...
...five or six years down the track and having had enough of this diabetes shit wrecking his life, fucking his business, losing his wife to the stress of it all, contemplating sucking on his 12 gauge as the the only recourse to a fucked up situation, he meets a diabetes nurse on a plaintive cry to the system...she listens, she gets concerned and gives the ginga her opinion, which was...'this is all wrong, you are off to a specialist at the big 'clinic'...
...well it seems I was misdiagnosed from the outset...I was a type 1 way back then, prescribed pills that were killing me...doing all the wrong things to my body and just managed to get through alive...lost a couple of hundred g's over five years, my wife, my life, and being unable to do the only thing I had a real passion for...racing bikes...
...cest la vie...but I am fucking angry...rant over
...a positive is, since I have been put onto the proper path, I have managed to put on close to 3 kgs in six weeks opposed struggling to put on 7 kgs in the previous five years...

Operator error. It will fail if your a cheap bugger though and try to use pre stretched stuff, just like condoms it’s a single use disposable item.
Btw if you end up with serious burns paramedics will wrap your skin in it as it provides pain relief by stopping air touching wound and keeps it from getting dirty.
Works a treat keeping a doozie of a header pipe arm burn dry while having a shower, although wrapping ons arm one handed with it at 5am results in many F and C words.

Had a few work drinks at the local with my colleagues then this girl rocks up to me and says “are you going to buy me a drink”.
In awe I said “excuse me?” Thinking the absolute cheek of her to lead in with that.
She wasn’t no Ford Raptor either, more like a single cab Mazda BT-50.
So I say to her “and if I buy you a drink, what do I get out of it?”.
She scoffs at me like I’m a grub.
At this point I’m thinking GTFOH.
She then says “I will give you my number” and pulls out her phone.
So I bought her a drink then grabbed her phone “to put my number in it” to text her mum “I’m a dirty little slag because of the way you failed to mother me”.
It wasn’t until I got to the carpark that I had a high heel flying at my Ute.
That’ll teach her a lesson.

Got the wrong end of the stick about the utes though, I know about necessity, just bought a dirty SUV for the same reason; wife needed the space for her business.

No doctor here either, but I've read a couple of interesting stories about how the vaccines came about so quickly. The speed with which the vaccines were developed does seem to be a concern to some.
There was a scientist in the USA, a woman originally from Hungary, who had never been paid more than $60,000pa. Sixty grand must be minimum wage for a qualified scientist. For years she worked on obscure research which many felt had no practical application - until Covid 19 arrived. The mRNA research she had been working on was suddenly the hot topic. Her decades of work helped pave the way for the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.

Heard first hand of several people whose limb or both hands effectively paralysed for about 24 hours. Now if that's a "side effect" in short term what possible long term damage is there?
And if "science" can produce these extremely small Mnar particles why can we still not see a new electron microscope picture of the real virus or the real spike proteins instead of photoshop created cartoons?
I expect this magic science to be able to target cancer cells using same tech that kills way more than corona.

You threw everything in there but the kitchen sink. In this case the kitchen sink would've been the one where the jab makes you magnetic.

Well, so... the bike has had little use over the last 10yrs, iv got it running good now but the front brakes are pissing me off... they lock on but one caliper wont release, here's what I have done so far
CX500TC
new caliper kits
new master kit
eased and greased all pivots and mechanics related to the caliper
new fluid...
BUT still with front wheel of the ground it spins pull the brakes on and it stops spinning, do this several times and the wheel binds up more and more... to the point where I have to crack the bleed nipple to release the pressure... WHATS with this its got me buggered???

Take lever off. Does it still do it? Ropey levers leave no clearance so mc return is blocked.
Or pop out mc piston and physical poke something through the (small) return hole.

I've heard of this situation caused by a flap of rubber inside the brake hose acting like a one-way-valve - let fluid go to the caliper but not return. A long shot.
My guess is that there's not enough clearance between lever and master cylinder pushrod - or the return spring inside the master cylinder isn't moving the piston back far enough to uncover the return port. Or something like that.
But you've probably fixed it by now, fuckin' time waster!!!:bleh:

I'm told there's been a ride-by. I didn't see or hear it though so it's unconfirmed. Possibly imaginary.
I'm going to do a medical rant though.
Why, fucking why do painkillers wear off around midnight ?
Every bloody night for the last fortnight I've had to get up and load up on more of the bastard drugs to get some sleep.
I saw a moan from a Stuff staff writer last week about how hard it is to get Codein. Obviously written after a root canal job and under stress.
But he's at least partially right. What is available - even on prescription - isn't that good.
We deserve better.

Morning,
Agreed. Found that the best way is to stay up watching the Olympics (or reading a book) until late, and then take some tablets just before going to bed.
You used to be able to get tablets with up to 15mg codeine, but not since last November:

Seem to be prescribing more in the way of NSAID's these days.

You make it clear to he doctor that of it’s not up to grade you WILL be contacting them at the time of need...
2nd round of oral surgery few years ago I was prescribed some slow release 800mg codiene/ibo tabs.... turned out he did such a tidy job that along with a high pain tolerance I never needed them once they anexthetic wore off. Ended up in the bin recently when I realised how far out of date expired they were now.
Some years ago I had to ride my GSXR at xxx km/h at 2am to the duty 24hr pharmacy in central Auckland’s for codiene tabs when had the good ol wisdom tooth decay.... I got what I needed but expect wearing a helmet bashing on window while pointing at your jaw these days would only result in Ann AOS callout and permanent pain relief.

Other way around. I think. TZR50 mk1 had Yamaha engine for sure, I used to use the rods, but moved to a Minarelli for next iteration. Not sure which one, must have been feeling left out, probably AM6. I suspect they 'passed' euro2(?) and no one else could. Even Derbi went to them when thier own engine was a peach.

There's quite a lot of water in the river atm. By the time you've pulled the KDX out of a hole, recovered from trying to start the TT - and given youself a hernia moving the Lemans, it'll be Sunday and you'll be too fucked to make it up here.
