  1. The Chronicles of Sled: Hidden bling

    In my earlier blog entry about keeping a good supply of lube I showed what happens to the cam bushes when they don't get lubricated properly. At the time I had plenty of spares that were still well within service limits so I was not too concerned about the same problem arising.

    I did another set in running a cam that had slightly worn journals, I should've taken more time to measure them but as they say coulda, shoulda, woulda...

    So I took a visit to the local ...

    It starts out innocently enough, you promise yourself that, today, for once, you're just going to take it a little easy. This is analagous to a crack addict promising just one small hit...

    Swingers in disguise.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Due to renegade master adding his 2 cents, I thought I'd add this little opener - read this as a giggle not a cry.,


    I’m having more of those moments. The ones where you get off the bike and think, “oh shit”. At what point do you hand the keys of your litre sports bike to someone better equipped to live with madness. Where is the line, and how ...

  5. Setting Chinese relations back

    Setting China/NZ relations back a decade or two...

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I'm no racist, but it seems to me that there are alot of people of Asian descent that want to kill me on my scoot.

    Wax lyrical and freedom.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Grey queues and anonymous boxes, the sound of Nina Simone drifting.
    Freedom curtailed and permissions revoked, gale force winds and rain and Versace suit mix like oil.
    Dark grey skies, God painted a monotone for the urban crawl, everything is dark, foreboding, depressed.

  8. I'm an asshole

    Road rage, retards, funny faces, and tinted windows.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Dennis Leary, poet, humanitarian, and comedian once wrote a song called "I'm an Asshole" - there's this part that described me on the drive into work this morning:

    Sometimes I park in the handicapped spaces, While handicapped people, Make handicapped faces
