And changing a mini clutch is nothing.

Try changing a mini radiator without removing the engine first...

but yeah Frosty I have noticed a few interesting people lurk on here. They'll say something if they feel the need...

I lived in Japan for two years and sort of speak it and can read some of the silly warning lables on the fairing. so yep we all have hidden talents.
I say keep giving your advice and input mate only the dorks will give you grief so

PS it would be useful to know who the guys and gals are with the quals then we can go direct to then for free advice how about a list please

日本のどちらに住んでいましたか。俺は１年間静岡県に住んでいました。今は大学で日本語を専攻しています。中国語も勉強します。

by the way 我是新四兰人。

And in full flight the Concord streaches 2 foot in length, at hights that are well below frezzing point you can fry an egg on its nose cone awesome aye..... to think it was built the same year as the Ford Anglebox

That I know bugger all, but I've done more to a mini than what is described here...
Then there is the electrical quals I have hidden and the spare time restoring old Hondas that used to make me alot of money.

But these days I make enough to get the local Honda shop do the work for me and more time for riding...

If you ask me I know feck all, but reckon those who make the statements that they do know and are making it very well known, then check with a mechanic first before you do anything on advice...

Piece of piss mate. Used to do bottom end rebuilds in 3 hours - from drive in to drive away - if I did it by myself.

Had one that I was doing the head gasket every week (couldn't afford the machining cost's at the time but had a pile of gaskets!)

Who's been posting google results? I don't think anything I've seen here so far looks like the poster cut and paste from a web page.

Any knowledgeable lurkers, seeing posts such as you describe, would have one of two reactions: say to themselves "fuck, what shit. Not worth my while responding to it" or: open fire with both barrels and consign the poster to the oblivion reserved for those who meddle in the ways of wizards (who may or may not be subtle).

A certain neighbour of mine, an H.P, tells me that a certain Christchurch cop also keeps his eye on this forum. Apparently he watches out for planned meetings and so on, then tells the senior sergant of his H.P division of any worthy news...

So if your reading this, my name is Aaron and I ride a red and black R1 you arsehole

Now thats just unfair. Might have to advertise a few false meetings to put them off. Who's up for a top-speed run, Moorhouse Ave 7pm tonight, anything less than 250km/h and you're kicked off the site.

BTW, my name is Aaron and I ride a red & black R1.

We were talking tinternet and he brought KB up. Apparently he's a member of old here. Loves off-roading.

I flicked him the brown envelope you asked me to give him. He promises that when he or his colleagues next chase you they'll back off as normal just to make you look cool.

Another point i would like to make, is sometimes the dumbest answer solves the most technical question/problem. I used to ask my dad computer questions, he didnt know anything about computers.....but his answers used to put me back on track.
And experience is everything, i rather talk to someone who has 20 years hard yard, then someone who has studied it for 4.
