Friday Night Rants?

[R650R]

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.

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 Ended up in the bin recently when I realised how far out of date expired they were now.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.

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???

Oh look, if you can't have your CX, maybe another turn at these?

Get a look at this goodness. Your garage now!

I am not sure if they had a water proof cover, let alone a garage.

I am - they had neither. And he's bought an RS250. That's another one going to return to the earth.

Hopefully the 4t kind.
TBF one does look to be covered in chicken poo so it might have been a free range "barn".
What that picture does do is highlight the Iron cylinders. i know some of the MBX and MT etc were iron and some Kawaskis as well
What other LC 2t were iron

[F5 Dave]

Yes indeed I've held one and oddball iron and combustion chamber insert with head cover.

RS50 AM6 is iron. Oddly the preceding AM5 isn't. Blame motominarrelli or whoever supplied engines to 1/2 the moped world.

[dangerous]

But you've probably fixed it by now, fuckin' time waster!!!

yeah.... and the brakes are mint... live n learn...
so it seems what I thought was part of the bowl was in fact a crusty cap of crud blocking the pin hole size return...

funny you should say that...

[F5 Dave]

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.

EDIT. Bloody Dirt!@##!!. Gets everywhere! Someone should sodding well clean up the planet and get rid of all the Dirt. Useless slackers!


Does that help the thread tone?

Ooh wish I'd said something like this smart guy above.

wasnt one of those a Yamaha engine? same as a DT50

[F5 Dave]

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.

fucking know it all... prick

[caseye]

Well, it's Fri FUCKING Day. An Gues What, yep, it's FUCKING Bloody Raining, too old to suit up and ride in the shit if I don't have to, once the adventure would have made it all the more worthwhile. Am I so fucked off becuase I don't wanna get WET or because the desire has left the building?
The old place isn't the same without all you Good Cunts!
Where the bloody Hell Are Ya, to quote some ozzie broad from way back.
Got 3 (yes, just the 3) Motocunting bikes in the shed, a day off, I can go anywhere I want. Butt, where? Tim Buck Funking two? Bum Fuck North East of the fing equator?
Na, so I'll just get out the List (YOU FUCKERS KNOW WHICH LIST) The one the wife leaves casually lying about on the breakfast island, High Lighted in Bright Bitching Purple, with Clean Shitter, Wash Down the fucking shower, I'm using Poetic fucking licence here , OK, She'd never write clean the fucking shower! scrape old body fat of the liner maybe, but nothing that might indicate she gives, or wants a f..k.
So here I sit, spilt me tea over that bloody Possum of Ash's and now I've got to take the stray cat we didn't want that is now or Queen and lording it master to the sodding Charge anything for so little, Vets, cause it's got a sniffle.
Ah well, shes a good wee pussy, so this time aye.
Ride (If you can be arsed) on!

Sounds like you NEED to get out and ride - if only to sort your attitude (and language).

As Billy Connolly says, "There is no such thing as bad weather, just wrong clothes."
