    I was just sitting on the verandah a minute ago and this almighty crash came from the shed!!
    I ran down to investigate and what a mess!!
    The new XR which has been standing happily in the shed on its stand since 4pm yesterday just decided to spontaneously fall arse over head. In doing that it took The KX85 out which in turn,took a PW80 out which then had enough weight behind it to take out the CAT XR which then fell into the line of bicycles we have in the shed (8),what a freaking mess!! The domonio effect from hell!!
    There is fuel every where but no damage that I can see yet.
    What makes a bike that has been standing there for over 12 hrs decide to just fall over for no reason?

    Think about it.

    If you’s been standing there for 12 bloody hrs, would’nt you need a lie down too.

    (don’t have possums or cats do you, I had a possum in my shed once, bloody thing decided to jump from a great hieght on to my 450 which was resting agins 2 other bikes. the resulting carnage took me hrs to clean up.)

    anyway I’m of to work :(

    I have been thing about it for a while, now I see some cars have stickers on the rear window that says magic happens, now we know they is no magic, its just tricks so thats for that is for people that cant understand that there is no magic, or they dont like to swear because its really s*#t happens. After I thought about it Mick and went through all the facts I have come to the conclusion that S*#t has happened it your shed!

    So in this case you should get a bumper sticker that says S*#t Happens!

    S#*t happens
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    For other uses, see S#*t happens (disambiguation).
    Look up shit happens in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.”S#*t happens” is a common slang phrase, used as a simple existential observation that life is full of imperfections, or “C’est la vie”. The phrase is an acknowledgment that bad things happen to people for no particular reason.[1]One minced oath form is “stuff happens”. Another minced oath form is “It happens”.

    The origin or earliest use of the phrase is uncertain. In a review of a book of quotations, The New Yorker critic Louis Menand observed that it was “extremely interesting to know, for instance, that the phrase ‘S#*t happens’ was introduced to print by one Connie Eble, in a publication identified as UNC–CH Slang (presumably the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill), in 1983.”[2]In 1988, a man was charged with obscenity for displaying a bumper sticker with the phrase.[3] A fictitious explanation of the origin of this phrase occurs in the movie Forrest Gump. During his capricious run, Forrest unwittingly inspires two separate entrepreneurs to create Smiley Face/”Have a Nice Day” T-shirts and “S#*t Happens” bumper stickers.

    The phrase has inspired a list of jokes on religious and philosophical views, disseminated widely on the Internet and sometimes known as the “S#*t List”. Various views (e.g., of Catholicism, Buddhism, existentialism, Communism, etc.) are summed up into variations on the phrase, for instance: “Judaism: Why does this s#*t always happen to us?”[4]

    There ya go

    Been back to the shed,the new XR has a broken blinker,and the tool bag on the back guard is totally stuffed,it is torn from A hole to E hole.It appears to have caught on the KX’s race stand. I think the stand bracket is a bit bent and it stands to upright and the suspension must have sagged enough over night to put it over the edge.

    maybe it was snoozing and had a horrible nightmare about being ridden into a ditch, which made it jump!!:P :P

    or it might just be old age…..

    the glue factory awaits…..

    Ah, sorry about that Mick.. I bumped the XR, which then fell onto the others as you know. But on the good side, I did manage to nick off with the alloy throttle tube you were banging on about last week! :laugh:

    When I sell it (anyone want one? Cheap at $149.95!) I’ll get you a replacement for the torn bum bag. Maybe an old shoe? A worn beret? A milk crate?:lol:
