    Why it’s sometimes best not to say “Surprise me”

    Well my friend the painter who did such a brilliant job on my YZF was given the brief of blowing some paint over the Bucket, ‘whatever is in the gun at the time, -Surprise me’.

    Um, apparently it was supposed to come out like a welding flame. But I guess it is staying & now I’ll just have to change my lifestyle to suit the bike.

    Perhaps some Holden stickers + more flames for the Van & maybe the Trashman & hook me up with some cool threads.

    The bike by the way is an RG50 with [cough] minor modifications.

    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    somehow i get the impression he doesnt work in the "custom paint" field
    I have a touch-up gun at my disposal if you would like some "flames" (if you have the paint)

    Yeah it was his idea of a joke. Don't get me wrong I'm not ungrateful, (how can you be for a $30 paintjob?) just I now refer to him as 'You total Bastard'.

    Could have been worse. Could have been a tattoo...

    Why is it the words "lying bastard" come to mind when I read that
    "If you can make black marks on a straight from the time you turn out of a corner until the braking point of the next turn, then you have enough power."

    Well at least it'll be original :confused2
