Got a new job.

It involves no dealing with the public, no puting up with their winging and NO listening to their "important" problems.

I'm a storeman. Drive a forkhoist all day, load trucks, load airfreight units, unload trucks, load containers, unload airfreight, unload containers. Very little responsibiltity, tonnes of fun.

Been getting the forkhoists sorted. I wake up in the morning and gleefully peek out the window, looking forward to the slightest hint of the rain that makes you poofter bikers cringe. Drifting backwards is fun! :D

That is, of course, untill you try to take a turn a little wide to avoid a fellow hoist driver, to realise you're going a little quick, stand on the picks, lock her up and slide backwards through a 20 foot steel roller door. It was closed. Fuck.:innocent:

Eyetie's got the pics I think.

My anus hurts..........

Good drills Smoke.

If it has wheels and a donk you just can't operate it sensibly aye.

Yep putting up with folk is a pain in the arse. Luckily the people I have to put up with are dead.

Bwahaha :lol:

Still remember a mate being a clown on a forklift cleaning up at the end of the day. Being a bit of a showoff hooning off to get the next load, took a corner a bit fast and a bit tight, off camber... BAM! Forklift wound up on its side. Didn't think it was funny at the time, but many a laugh has been had since!

Muhahaha...

Worked in a factory for a time, and often we would have much downtime due to mechanical failure (12 hour shifts, and often we would come in to a closed plant and do nothing for the WHOLE 12 hours while engineers sorted shit out) so we'd have fork hoist races.

One night, a guy on my shift clipped some racking. The problem was, the racking held rolls of paper, each between 2 and 5 ton, and the whole lot went over. Just to make it funnier (wasn't me that did it, so it was hilarious!) it dominoed and took out 4 racks all together.

I had a bloody good laugh as him and 2 of his mates spent almost the whole shift bribing the engineers to re-bolt the racking down and then loading the rolls back onto it... :D

Well obviously Jimmie you need to fit Ohlins front & rear, and a steering damper and better rubber. Can you fit a set Pilot Powers? And no wheelies OK :nono:. OSH will be on your case so quick!

You forgot to say your boss is a hard bastard, and have I mentioned to you for destroying the door, there is a GSXR400 that needs the carbs bled in the warehouse and the floors need to be swept.
No pics sorry, I knew you felt bad enough without having the result strewn across the net. If the K7 is not ready in time for Manfield feel free to take the forklift down!

It may of been the two and a half week transit from Wellington to Auckland but thats another story, just a bleed of the fuel and a charge of the battery.
