But you just turn at the brewey, go around two corners then up the road, on top of a small crest there is a reasonablw size area to play in infront of an old factory.

What is it a Commodore 64? Anyhoo I was looking at the wrong one, I see where you mean now cheers. If I can stand up long enough I might head over there later

I wish: my single car garage recently held 2 bikes and my wagon - just keep wedging them in!

It's a cheap ACER, I'm not on the usual computer because I'm looking after a broken mate

and it turns out wireless Telecon internet is SHIT

I'll be back in Woodville tomorrow throwing new bits on the ZZZZZZZZZZZZR boat thing so weather permitting we could go down there? Or, even better, do it in the wet?

I need to buy a torque wrench.

Yer we could go for a wobble down there. Not too good tho some dickheads have spilled oil everywhere so they can do donuts while wanking each other off.

There's the RSA just down the road tho, small but possible.

I got two torque wrenches you need one?

Bloody wankers!!! There are a few places in Palmy, or perhaps the road in the Ashurst domain?
How much for one?

Kawasaki got the brakes checked and bled today, rear wheel off, new sprocket and fresh grease. New headlight and I think it learned a few new words....

let me know when/where and I might come along (if my welding burns have healed

) been too long since doing some heavy brake testing etc

kwaka sounds like it's coming along, christening skids on soon?

I see the AA has asked the Government to scrap GST on petrol and they aren't playing ball, I think they might be asking for another convoy onto the door step of that funny shaped building in Wgtn

good luck with that! must be a huge earner for the government. More realistic idea might be to have a tax cap, so even if the price increases above $1.50 we only pay tax for $1.50 amount.

Think I'd rather pay higher fuel prices than support the AA with anything!

**Flynn** · 9th March 2011, 18:14

The thing that annoys me is the overnment is getting a huge amount of tax and gst, double dippers. I agree with you Owl, but this is getting beyond a joke.

Got the new chain on today thanks to CBFB and his angle grinder, sadly when I got to the adjusting part I have found that some right cunt has broken the adjuster on the RHS, plus I think I've got one too many links in there.

Wouldn't that be nice?

**ducatilover** · 11th March 2011, 06:42

Righto, got the chain adjuster sorted with some coarse language and vice grips. Chain is now nicely tensioned

Have cut/polished the dirty pig and I'll polish both bikes up today and sort the rear brake on the Kawabigfatpig today, it's an unusual rear brake, twin piston set up but it looks as if one piston is larger....

Then I think I'll spend the rest of the day riding! Being a student is quite nice at the moment.....

Another cup of tea then in to it.

Anybody know of someone who rides a Duke monster with twin stacked pipes and a Ducati jacket? I was following him/her yesterday and it sounded tasty as, didn't really go that well, I imagine it was a 600

**ducatilover** · 15th March 2011, 16:30

Where has everyone gone?

Have seen a few bikes around today, many waves too!

Clutch for the Kawaboat has arrived (at the wrong address) so that will be fitted tomorrow, battery courtesy of Matty at Freedom Suzuzuzuzuzki should be in the bike by the end of the week. So all going well, I'll be taking it to Uni next week! Kind of excited, even though I know it's big, fat and heavy with next to no power. Kind of like Mexico in a way.

What's new chaps?

**bogan** · 15th March 2011, 19:50

whats new.... hmmm, been working on my bike way more than riding it, got a u-bend so can start working on the exhaust this week. Am thinking about making a brake res to bolt on the back of the rear master, rather than having a hose run next to the exhuast, but the banjo is on top and not sure if the res would have to be higher than that?
also welded heaps of ally mount points to my subframe last week, should be all set now

getting a proper E-marked LED brake light, then can put together a tail tidy.

hmmm, reading that, I guess I could have just answered modding

haven't been for a porper ride since coming back from hb at 2am in the morn almost a month ago, have to change that.
