    I think KTM’s are the bestest bikes in the whole wide world ever! Plus, they have cute pit girls!

    Sorry for ragging on KTM’s in other threads, its just that I am in denial about how I want one so badly…

    Actually I’m not sure that sheer numbers of sales versus numbers of race wins means all that much given the proportional numbers used for trail riding.

    Champo, that is the best answer to every question ever.

    Oh behalf of anyone silly enough to click in this thread and actually read it, I would like to present you with the “Too Much Spare Time Trophy”

    your’e living proof of Darwins theory…..

    look….

    Charles Darwin simply brought something new to the old philosophy — a plausible mechanism called “natural selection.”
    Natural selection acts to preserve and accumulate minor advantageous genetic mutations, like PDS.
    Suppose a member of a species developed a functional advantage (it brought a KTM). Its offspring would inherit that advantage and pass it on to their offspring.
    The inferior (honda riding) members of the same species would gradually die out, leaving only the superior (KTM loving) members of the species.
    Natural selection is the preservation of a functional advantage that enables a species to roost better in the wild. Jap bikes are the naturalistic equivalent to domestic
    in-breeding with your cousins.
    Over the centuries, KTM riders have produced dramatic changes in domestic populations by selecting the hottest chicks to shag, and actually getting to bump uglies with them.
    KTM pilots self eliminate undesirable traits gradually over time. Similarly, natural selection eliminates inferior japanese bikes gradually over time.

    That was a funny one :laugh:

    Actually I believe that KTM riders are more in line with the “Intelligent Design” theory of evolution. This theory states that there are some features (eg PDS) that have to have been created by an “íntelligent cause” and not by random natural selection. Unfortunately, Intelligent design has been ruled to be thinly disguised creationism by the US courts and as such it is unconstitutional to be taught in schools.

    The hole in the theory of Intelligent Design is, of course, that anyone (other than a KTM devotee) can see that these so-called certain features (eg PDS) were actually “invented” by Bozo the clown while on a drunken and chrystal meth induced stupor.

    Devotees of the Intelligent Design theory have an unreasonable belief in their KTM’s and no logic or alternative theories can be allowed to exist in their world. Often, they gather in groups, dressed in orange, holding JE pistons and chanting at airports. Police generally allow this behaviour, unless violence erupts.

    While Darwinism is a theory that is able to be substantiated, there is no scientific basis for the Intelligent Design (ID) theory. ID uses arguments such as the “irreducible complexity” of KTM’s to explain that these machines are too complex to have appeared by “natural selection”.

    Behe defines “irreducible complexity” as “a single system which is composed of several well-matched interacting parts that contribute to the basic function, wherein the removal of any one of the parts causes the system to effectively cease functioning”. Others define it as simply: “a KTM”

    Did Ecks just asks if Tyne is into swinging? :ohmy:

    I’ll pay that! But sure, why not!?

    Yeah TB, I’ll see what I can manage mate!

    Reminds me, I have to get off my clacker and practice tonight, or tomorrow will suck!:P

    So far we have only had local gigs, and they are not super-organised. Our last one went for too long I thought, but I’ll convince them of the wisdom of my ways eventually! I’m trying to get sorted for some gigs out of Orange but for now that’s where you’ll find us.

    You’d be welcome to show up though, tomatoes and all! I get to stand up for my solos so I can try to dodge, unlike the rest of the sax section! :laugh:

    If I thought it was a good idea (which I don’t) and could be bothered with the video camera (which I can’t) I’d video some of the upcoming gig and post it up (but I won’t!):blush:

    Oh, yeah… Chop’s banana, shame about that eh?:P

    There wouldn’t be any threads left here, I’d blow them up for fun!

    Please make sure nobody ever gives me a gun!

    That would be super-cool, no doubt! I think if I had the power there’s a couple of threads I’d blow up, just to see the mushroom cloud! :laugh:

    And don’t ever believe for a second that anyone, anywhere, any time would let you have a gun!

    Hahahahahaha! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    I’d like to suggest that Mods get a “Blow Thread Up” button… and some snazzy graphics to show it has happened. So that you click on the thread and when it opens all you see is a mushroom cloud and a sign: THIS THREAD HAS BEEN TERMINATED!

    Hey, we didn’t taunt moto! He was invited in to help settle the mystery of what is Barry short for? Unless moto’s middle name is Barry, in which case, maybe not all Barry’s are short after all. Then again, maybe only those with the first name Barry are short?

    I’m confused…

    Moto is a big boy, he can look after himself! Besides, I figure this might be obscure enough that he won’t bother posting here!

    Besides, maybe he knows what Barry is short for?

    Now if only we can work out what moto’s good for we will be right! :P
