It's amazing how intense pain can motivate you to move quickly.

Melted skin on an expansion chamber acts as a lubricant, so you could be onto something, too!

You can join Hanne in having done that... was lolz.

I suppose you could also wrap some potatoes with chives and bacon bits into foil and place then strategically on the pipes to have a nice snack when you done some riding then!

Or the time when I was down riding at 2am from Alexandra to Wanaka and smacked into so many bunny rabbits they got fricasseed on my lower engine block and header pipes ... smelt real delicious!

In the morning, gremlin and I discovered the charnel house that was my evil Big Ol'Hornet. Rabbit fur and baked meat everywhere!

HMMM PRETTY, SHINEY

........OUCH!

Don't worry TOTO your amongst good company. I call that : moments when right hemisphere of brain doesn't talk to left hemisphere. i.e. right hemisphere thinks I wonder if that wire poking out of wall is live. doesn't consult left which would say watch out electricity=danger. moves hand to touch said wire while left is going ummmm and then ZAP! Left finally awake and says shouldn't have done that.

it's an intelligence test: do it once and you're pretty silly, do it twice and you're a dunce, do it thrice and you're a raving lunatic

Also, when changing the oil when the engine is warm... beware of the location of your hand when the filter is close to the headers..........

The perfect time to do a little safe-breaking at the local bank!

Most of us have figured out the meaning of hot by age 5, though I gues there are some slow learners.

Lol havent heard that one before, but just reminded me about how tough the new VW polo is...

**R6_kid:Me** · 22nd July 2009, 14:02

This is exactly the reason why people shouldn't let their kids touch motorbikes... children tend to touch 'shiney' things, like chrome exhausts.

**GSXR Trace** · 22nd July 2009, 15:35

bahahaha thats just hilarious, "i warmed my bike up and then touched hot parts... this is not advised" - of course its not! but why would you tell everyone toto?

**crazyhorse** · 22nd July 2009, 15:40

I can't believe the mentality of some folk - sure you aren't a kid yourself? Thought adults would know of the consequences and think ahead.... hmmm, maybe not LOL
