    I am struggling to decide which is the best word to describe me...

    I have blown up many 2 smokers. Today I thought that I would give blowing up a 4 stroke a go and well what can I say, it worked!

    So while I can say that I have a "special gift" anyone that knows me, knows how many engines I have destroyed. I obviously havent learned anything so does this make me a blockhead?

    ps - Thanks to Deano and F5Dave for all your help today!
    Geeez Woman.........

    As long as you are ok...ummm I'm voting on "special"....you're a special Hellz and one of a kind chicky...and we don't want ya any other way

    You are not dumb (far from it) or fat but you are extremely enthusiastic and unconcerned with the physical limits of the universe... I'd say optomistic!

    Yeah we didn't check the gear lever or anything, I just wanted to get it in the van & underway as the traffic was building up & I had to get back to work.

    Hopefully with the spring replaced & the actuation lever back in the engine it will be back to normal. Sure Mal will sort it.

    Hope the train/buss wasn't too painful this morning.
    Thanks for the beer.
    Don't you look at my accountant.

    A wee bit of re-engineering of the flawed clutch system and she is all good.

    Dunno about talented or dumbarse.

    I'd say possibly given your lack of empathy regarding the mechanical limits of motorcycles, you're possibly suffering from mechanical aspergers.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    I'd say your Sprecial Helz.

    To blow that many motors up on purpose, would be talented. To blow that many motors up with ineptitude and thrashism, you'd be a blockhead. But to have that many motors die for no real reason when you are riding them...

    Dont know what you're trying to say but what happened to my FXR had nothing to do with the way I was riding it.... Dodgy suzuki parts and some bad luck was my problem!

    aww, Sprecial must be a new kind of 'special'! Just dont get like the busa petes and start stalking my user page because you're so enamoured by me, eh!

    Really you're just like that fellah Burt Munro, he blew up his engine many times and it made him famous so you're on your way to stardom I reckon.

    Not to mention 'yaw'?
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
