mate the weather your lads Cop in the OLD country is enough to keep me here..Pushing trolleys sucked…Almost as hard as packing the frkn grocery’s..LOL I didnt do that crap for long i can tell you. have you ever seen a skinny 15 yo kid trying to hand onto a real high pressure water gun? LOL..man i came so close to blowing myself clean of planks trying to use them.(slipway work) I was like 36kg and 5’6″ at 15…not much of me..had to be careful near any resturants/Pubs serving Martinis’,or I’d end up with an olive stuck on my head.
How Good is the price on Education?? Today I was on the dog n bone with the local TAFE. Wanting to find out about “Commercial cooking” for my daughter..Now what would you reckon 42 weeks of Cooking classes are worth? Would you believe I need to front $15,600.00 for it? Oh Plus the costs of any Text books and anything else outside of the teaching!! How good have we got it in the land of free education..This is TAFE..Not fkn UNI!? I nearly growthed a sprinting turd!My brothr In-law owns a 501 hooserberg..it’s getting fixed more than ridden
A real shame because it’s a well balanced bike, heaps of Punt, and decent fuel economy . Just doesnt spend much time running which sucks ’cause we dont get out riding as much as we could. Hope the newbies have the reliability issues sorted?
Thats some serious drawing Ability. Love the Pics..Absolutley top end !!
Am I damaging my filter by blowing it with Comp.Air after it dries, before i re- oil it? generally, i clean my filter after each ride, some I know tell me i’m wasting $’s as the filter can do many K’s between each clean…But they dont own MY Husky
I do. But now I’m worried I may be killing it with Kindness?? :blink:
They tried once Moto and it failed. Got referred again to a spec. Went for another round of Arthrograms( 3mm dia needle into shoulder cuff, radium fluid for contrast)had 2 rounds of MRI’s, got back to the spec with my pics in hand, the prick didnt look at anything, said It’s genetics? Now Back on a list, have about 18 mnths to go before they see me again. Am on a list (waiting time 3yrs) to see a neuro, as they reckon I’ve done damage to my neck as well.(app. 21mnths to go) Ive gone from 116kg @8.4% body fat( 6’4″) to 111kg of blubber??Sucks big. Mate I started my life pushin trolleys for Coles, walked/worked most of OZ on the fruit and Factory circuit as a kid. Got into mining by doing a riggers/Scaffolder and Dogmans course. Worked that for a while then got into drilling after walking away from one job(dickhead boss)and going to see this lad who was advertising for an offsider. had NEVER even been near a drillrig at that point. 2 weeks of working for one of his drillers, I took over his rig. It just seemed to be natural for me, like it was what I was born to do. I MISS it BIG TIME. Would give my bike up for it tomorrow, with out a second thought. I would give up riding to go back to it. Hell, I had 4 gears + 1 reverse, heaps of revs, and it took 110% concentration at ALL times. I blinked at the wrong time once and destreoyed some 8 g’s worth of gear, took me 2.5 Shifts and 2 100 ton jacks to get my gear back outa the hole…Minus the core collector, reemer and cutting tip…Boss was not Impressed..LOl…Shit happens eh.?
Thankyou for the explanation..i think.. TB, I was of the mind that the DR’s were a very sound machine, which is what piqued my interest in this case. My thought was “Heat” or an Ill fitted guide? Didnt think of dusting as I thought most people understood the need for Clean filters…my bad i guess??Anyway thanks for the sharing of Ideas. Cheers
Bikes vs cricket is a rate of play thing Moto. A cricket pitch is 22yds long, a ball bowled at 140kph gives you an allowance of some .25 sec, to work out its lenght, height of bounce and the spot you want to hit the ball to,type of shot to play. The game is not something I’ve ever been capable of playing, the players though,( good ones Like Haydon) have my respect for that ability. I find I can watch it as I have not much else to do alot of the time? cant handle Golf, Tennis, Afl ,Rugby, surfing, or alot of other crap thats called a sport but is a pastime.

I’ve got a little bit of sick in my mouth thinking about it.I can’t be patriotic as I’m disowned England as the mother country and am not an Australian citizen. This means I can rip it out of any damn country I want :laugh:
You wouldn’t be close enough to me to see me pick my bike out of a bog, I’d be in hospital having crashed way before then :laugh:
Oh, and I’m as cool as open toe sandals
I know, THAT is cool!
I cant help but get the feeling this hate you have for cricket has some bearing on the fact your bloody country cant play the game they invented.Unless of course they have help of sticky glop they spit on a ball to make it harder to hit…There isnt a game of anything that requires either the reflexes or the hand eye motr co-rdination that cricket demands. And that leather gimp ball hurts a doosey if it whacks you at 120+ kph…come to think of it, so do those Goolies that bikes throw at me? :S
LOL..like it heaps…I was just wondering is all..Mine a good..Nice n straight …….still. ( as straight as they’re meant to be anyway)

Quote:If you’re paying $35K in tax you’re earning somewhere around $110K a year and would get any money from the new ‘stimulus package’ which is capped at people earning upto $100K :huh:Or is your family income $110K with 2 salaries below the threshold?
Moto, I haven’t been able to work since July 27th 2002. To give an Ideea of WHY I”M so pissed off at the state of the Medical system. I cant afford private medical because I can not work. The Govt was good to take a heap for Medi care but isn’t good on the part oon supplying the help. We are now Just a single Income family, Wife being a Nurse in said medical industry. My point on the tax part is” I cant understand why they’re happy to leave me sit, broken, when I could be out doing what I love, and paying my way at the same time. OH, and one otrher thing,. It’s a good wage yes, for that wage I was working 1.2 mile straight down. uising an Oz made drill rig. Is Noisy as a jet, you get drowned in Burnt rock oil. My drill rods, 50mm x. dia. x 3mtrs lenght(steel, 15mm inner dia). These rods I’d prefer to be pulled by hand( 2x pair of stilsens to do it.) until I’d hit the 37 mtr mark, any longer and I’d use the Air ram. I prefered to work on my own as the Offsiders kept breaking or Blowing another Nut.
Something my Boss hated me for..My mentality was if they couldn’t handle they could F…k off! Met alot of people who reckoned they’d like a crack at earning that money, alot folded trying.I left that in 93, Boss died in what was meant to be My heli ride. Came to M’boro for Holiday to catch up with old friend, met my lady and stayed. My shoulder got destroyed working as a cellarman. I got NO compo. Nothing cause i thought I was Tough and worked through it. Left the Pub game,went tordoning and the shoulder packed it in. Today, I turn around too quick, it dislocates. Sneeze, cough, run, jump, reach up to a cupboard..sometimes even typing.They fixed a certain cricketer with almost the same prob.They shouldnt treat me like a dog. I have paid my taxes since i was a kid. Hence MY belief this stimulus Pkg, should be aimed at health and getting Bludgers up and Mobile.If htey Fix me, I can go back to work, which is a lot less drain on the GUV., and I contribute once again. I hate This shit of a system we have.
Ok. sorry about the rave..
And one from me Too, just to keep it even numbered….Gez I’m glad I went to bed when I did, I think those canned Deers are kickin my head
… No need for them to stampede, no bush fires here??
Ecks, when you say there was a huge difference, did the pool filter do anything for the Filter? or was it a total waste of time? Curious, I’m trialing a CHUX on mine but its been wet this way so very little dust..I’d hate to think I’ve been spruiling thse tings only to find it to be a waste of time and money??
