Seat bag problem.... and Motormail - Comments welcome

[Paul in NZ]

i didnt really read much of the thread so took it a bit outa context so yeh sorreh

No worries Frankie, no offense taken! I'm as hard on myself as anyone else and i make more than my fair share of stuff ups!

Now... (for me) Off to the shed for more bike tinkerin and less coffee drinkin'

[Paul in NZ]

...you couldnt be more wrong about me...I believe, for example, that PaulN is responsible for the emotional tone of his posts, good guy identity notwithstanding (and from what Ive seen hes an excellent guy). I believe you are responsible for the buddy defence stance you took and for recognising it thusly instead of claiming moral highground, and, this morning I am tempted to hold you responsible for the curdling of my coffee along with my usually sunshiny personality, but I wont, because (a) I have liked you thus far (b) its up to me how I choose to respond to another human being or a human circumstance complete with multiple flaws...and in this case, as is my TRUE philosophy, I CHOOSE to stay calm and acknowledge my choices. So there. Phhht.

Oh you are just being naughty now!

BTW I'm no place close to excellent! I have as many if not more defects that usual (Vicki usually has a list handy someplace) and as for claiming high moral ground? Why madam, I'm happy to pass any recreational drug test you could mention, I'm certainly not high!

Let's not even go close to my morals

Oh well... On with life.....

hey hey YOU!

Get back in teh garage :eyepoke:

Duct (From use on air conditioning ducts), significantly different from electrical tape....

Wouldn't that damage the paint more than the bag rubbing on it? I heard the paint on Jazbug's bike was damaged by duct tape on the Waikato rally.

I really don't understand how anyone can support someone threathening legal action against a distributor or manufacturer because they had a learning experience.

I was on a "site-safe" course a couple of months ago, they had this newpaper artical from the states about this guy that got THOUSANDS off a battery drill company Because at NO time was there any mention that scratching a itch up the inside of your nose with a drill bit was in anyway dangerous with the battery drill....

I think you guys are being a bit harsh on him, he's asking for advise, not the gumpy old mens guide to be a arsehole.

Never had paint on any of my bikes damaged by Duct tape. I use rolls of the stuff when I go touring too. Fork legs, leading edge of fairing, anywhere that a bag may touch the surface of the paint. I got a really good trick from Paul and that was get some rolls of the non-slip alien tech rubber stuff that you put under mats to stop them sliding from the 2$ shop. They stop your tank bag moving around and isolate any bits of ferrous metal that you may pick up on the tank bag magnets from your paint work.

LOL at drill bit man.

He's asking for advise on how to return a product he used incorrectly, not how to prevent paint damage from happening in future. I reserve the right to be a Grumpy Old Arsehole(tm).

Now get back to selling yor NC30 and buying an SP1.

Go on.

Nothing to see here.

Move on or I'll tell your Mum.

I'm sure the drill bit guy got a new drill!!

Maybe it should have come with better instructions? Or some sort of thing to advise him that it could take the paint off the bike if not secured correctly to the motorcycle. After all they should have know that the product in question would mostly be brought by men.

Go on.

Sob!

I seriously don't think I'm being an arsehole... I was being jolly until Stingers reply I think and then i got exasperated...

Quite understandable. Vickis in ChCh visiting #1 daughter and I have not seen her since tuesday... I'm gettin' a bit fidgity (shall we say) Dangerous almost, it's not my fault my hormones are all over the place.... I need a hug.. (Paul sets evil trap and retires hoping to snare some fresh meat in his currently deranged and highly charged state)

No?

Oh well! Back to the garge

Jesus!
Your trying to tell me that people your age "have sexual relations" with each other? NOOOOO you lie!!! Lies I tell you, LIES!!!
As for fresh meat? I'm sure you could always thaw a rump steak, get it up to about 37 oC, that's body temperature. I'm sure of it.
Add a bit of lippy, some nice perfume and some candle light... you got yourself a biodegradable date, the wifey will never know.

YOu could always become a Mc Donalds "self entertainer"?? Just a thought.

Point A - There is no man living or dead who reads the instructions first. By the time they hit 17 they know everything. By the time they have their first child they realise they know nothing and a sense of desperate futility sets in causing them to become fat, hairy, bald, and a Grumpy Old Arsehole (tm).

Point B - My sincerest grovelling apologies for unintentional insensitivity. My wife says I smell like the dead though.

Oh! ok remind me NEVER to get married! Or have children.
So if I ever post about those two topics, you have full rights to hunt me down and clip my ears, and give me a lecture about how I'm going to stuff my life up

Honestly no need to apologise It's all good..
As for smelling like the dead.... dude that smell is undiscribable..

Ah well, I'll forgive you since you're frustrated.

I wasn't actually providing an opinion on what I thought he should do, just an opinion about his legal case. Which I stand by..... (which is just that he could probably return the bag, not do anything about his bike damage) The CGA is quite heavilly biased towards the consumer. For example If you have a bed that is 15 years old, chances are if it breaks you "Could" take it back.

Given that he now has alternative ways of fitting his bag, i.e with tape to save the paint... why not keep the bag for the next bike. It'll still work for the purpose it was bought for.

I'm all for personal responsibility, but it does pay to know your legal "rights". It's up to you if you use them...
