    Wouldn’t hurt to whack an OBT sticker on their front fence just so we know when to ‘break down’ each time someone is passing by :laugh:

    Carn TB give it up! I’m going past there on Monday ;)

    I dunno how you blokes can ride those big things! Looks like a nice trip for a car though!

    No worries Mal, we expect to be done a little after lunch ifwe don’t do a pub run cause the traffic willbe fubar on monday arvo up here! Only a couple going at this stage so it’s likely to be a cruisey single track exploring day, will have a newb with us.

    TBnoone should be able to get away with as much riding as you do! You should be ashamed of yourself!

    I often wonder why we celebrate the killing of a nutter who professed to be the son of god by a bunch of romans, after he was given up by his own jewish brothers…

    I reckon if I popped down to Auburn and shouted to the world that I was the son of God, I reckon I might get stoned on the spot! JEHOVAH!

    I maintain my allegiance to thePeoples Front of Judea!

    Bundy up lads and happy trails!

    This may or may not help but…if you’re putting those resistors in series it won’t matter where in the circuit they go.

    I’d also be putting on at each light (if that’s what you meant by one a each corner.)

    With th lights off the resistors should not be getting hot! Means there’s current going through them. Grab a meter and find out. They’re big resistors so I guess someone expects a fair bit of power to go through them, that being said as a result they will get warm…of course without them the LEDs may run funny colours for a while before finally going POP! More amusing than dangerous.

    Bear in mind that polarity does matter since they are diodes, but that’s easy to work out, ifthey’re put in the wrong way they simply won’t pass any current.

    They do look good but hay?

    I always tought public liability insurance on your property covers boofheads who get injured on your property. The insurance companies then go you if there’s a degree of contributary negligence on the insured’s part.

    Happy to be proven wrong though.

    How’s this for a verbal agreement then? “Yeah come in and ride ere, no dramas. I know you won’t sue me if you get hurt. If you fall off and look hurt I’ll make two phone calls. One to the cops reporting you for trespassing and the second to the ambos…cause I’m a good bloke!”

    Rest assured if I fall off not only do I not have the inclination to sue…I don’t possess the funds! But then when you ride a Vor one can’t afford to fall off too much!!!

    I can make girls disappear like that and at least as quickly a the pub without all the table cloth waving!

    Getting them back has proved a little more difficult:laugh:

    It’s been a long day indeed! You know I’m joking don’t ya big feller? Oh crap I just remembered, he knows where I live!!!

    Where’s the ANYKEY?:laugh:

    You idiot, Karma cause your funny and I will get revenge ;)

    By the way I told you the story, I told Sushiyama at the 1908 four day that we needed brighter globes so that we could be seen way off in the distance on the trails and you blokes on VOR’s and KTM’s wouldn’t get lost, not bigger lights lol :laugh:

    TB

    …they only made Vors during February 2002. I believe it was a period of 6 days commencing on the 5th…but I could be wrong.

    The older little bikes (and the big ones) came out with big arse tail light and number plate assemblies.

    The newer little ones; 400’s and down came out with a smaller one mounted up on top of the rear guard (but was still larger than the Ballard’s special). The big ones at that time retained the mother of all tail lights.

    As for Moose and Mick’s lights…well, they’re old blokes and everyone knows old blokes would rather spend their spare pennies on smokes ‘n’ grog instead of flash gadgets!!!!

    Hmmm I’m a ‘maybe’ but only for the weekend. (No riding, will bring the young bloke down for a look at the racing)
    Will know closer to the date when the Minister is aware of her movements around that time!!!:S

    Thanks lads.

    I was thinking out loud, because I’ve noticed the ‘miss’ up in that part of the country before and a new plug generally seemed to be the fix. It had a new plug. The air filter is cleaned after every ride and that day was a quiet learners ride so it involved very little dust.

    I’m going to try some of that new fangled premium fuel and see if that doesn’t solve the problem…
