Stuff having your own business for a joke!
I work for the government for a very good reason (not scared of work, but scared of taking a punt and possibly losing everything!)

I don’t care what it costs to run a business. I simply dislike pay for someone to do something I can do myself. Just goes against the grain for me.

Take my missus’ car for example. The motor’s sideways. It’s just too hard to get to the oil filter and it has those fandangled spark plugs that only need changing every 100k because they’re too bloody hard to get out! We have a mechanic who does good careful work and is upfront about what is needed and when. He doesn’t bullsh1t but he does charge. Do I mind paying? Not really. I know he’s done what he’s supposed to and I trust him because he’s proved himself. Would I pay a bike mechanic to work on my beloved? Not unless I really had to. In fact I’d only trust suspension work to Mr Pons and engine work to the blokes up at CrossAction (or whatever they’re called these days). Why? Because I’ve had them both do work before and I trust them. Anyone else can bugger off. They’ll get my work when I can’t manage it. I reckon they charge way too much for the work they do which could be better spent on RUMBOS!!!

They do look good them!

I’m a bit of a butcher when I change tyres though, how scratch resistant are they?

How long will it be before the match officials (not the guys who light your smoke for ya!) outnumber the players???

So today I visit the bloke that makes things out of alloy only to find his doors closed!

So I popped into SUTTO’S on the off chance they might have something off a ‘berg that might suit. Nice lad up in spares seemed to think he could find just the thing and after five minutes and a check with the verniers handed me something that looked similar and will likely keep me out of trouble for a while!:cheer:

Trouble is … it’s a bloody KTM part!:S

Whaddaya reckon the count would have been by now if he’d had that software that types as you talk???:laugh:

(I’ll just pop off to bed now:dry: )

[shaneMember]

ta mate, pm sent.

[shaneMember]

Might come to that in the end! (It’s a big-arse bolt though):laugh:

[shaneMember]

Ya wouldn’t read about it! Got my parts bag from Crossaction today and the only part I REALLY needed is not the right one!:S

So now I’ve emailed every bike store (in the world) that Google gave me and tomorrow I’m going to visit a machinist to see what they’d charge to make me an oil drain/filler plug from alloy. If push comes to shove I’ll have to get Bruno in Milano to send me one using the Bundy money that’s already passed through my kidneys:blush: .

In the meantime, anyone else have any (constructive :huh: ) ideas?

[shaneMember]

I’d be sitting in front of a fire, drinking myself silly:woohoo:

Here’s another tip…

Travel below the speed limit. 10 kays should do it, 20’d be better;)

Has a two-fold effect. Following you at that speed without your knowledge should be quite difficult AND you’ll never get a speeding ticket! :cheer: Sure you’ll piss some people off, but THEY won’t be the ones pinching your bikes!

Don’t ask how I know! mmmkay?

(I’m sure if one does a search on the interwebs for counter- and anti-surveillance techniques, I’m sure there’d be plenty.)

Actually now that you mention it…

I did have a little getoff the last time I went out:blush: unusual for me since I rarely come off and it was upside down AND the brake lever was probably applied when it landed (smashed into the ground):blink:

[shaneMember]

Air’s getting in there somehow hay?

Maybe when it’ tax time I might shell out for a seal kit……………

For now though, it’s time to sit back with a bundy!:cheer:

[shaneMember]

Air in the system…:blush:

I’m a silly billy sometimes!
