ONE

Recently, when I went to McDonald’s I saw on the menu that you could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets.
I asked for a half dozen nuggets.
‘We don’t have half dozen nuggets,’ said the teenager at the counter.
‘You don’t?’ I replied.
‘We only have six, nine, or twelve,’ was the reply.
‘So I can’t order a half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?’
‘That’s right.’
So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets
(Unbelievable but sadly true…)

TWO

I was checking out at the local Woolworths with just a few items and the lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine. I picked up one of those ‘dividers’ that they keep by the cash register and placed it between our things so they wouldn’t get mixed.
After the girl had scanned all of my items, she picked up the ‘divider’, looking it all over for the bar code so she could scan it.
Not finding the bar code, she said to me, ‘Do you know how much this is?’
I said to her ‘I’ve changed my mind; I don’t think I’ll buy that today.’
She said ‘OK,’ and I paid her for the things and left.
She had no clue to what had just happened.

THREE :tell john this was ,nt me
A woman at work was seen putting a credit card into her floppy drive and pulling it out very quickly.
When I inquired as to what she was doing, she said she was shopping on the Internet and they kept asking for a credit card number, so she was using the ATM ‘thingy.’
(keep shuddering!!)

FOUR
I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car. ‘Do you need some help?’ I asked.
She replied, ‘I knew I! should have replaced the battery to this remote door unlocker. Now I can’t get into my car. Do you think they (pointing to a distant convenience store) would have a battery to fit this?’
‘Hmmm, I don’t know. Do you have an alarm, too?’ I asked.
‘No, just this remote thingy,’ she answered, handing it and the car keys to me. As I took the key and manually unlocked the door, I replied, ‘Why don’t you drive over there and check about the batteries. It’s a long walk….’
PLEASE just lay down before you hurt yourself !!!

FIVE
Several years ago, we had an Intern who was none too swift. One day she was typing and turned to a secretary and said, ‘I’m almost out of typing paper. What do I do?’ ‘Just use paper from the photocopier’, the secretary told her. With that, the intern took her last remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the photocopier and proceeded to make five ‘blank’ copies.
Brunette, by the way!!

SIX
A mother calls 000 very worried asking the dispatcher if she needs to take her kid to the emergency room, the kid had eaten ants. The dispatcher tells her to give the kid some Benadryl and he should be fine, the mother says, ‘I just gave him some ant killer….’
Dispatcher: ‘Rush him in to emergency!’

Life is tough. It’s even tougher if you’re stupid!!!!

sad fact is i can believe all of these actually being real :unsure: :S

Welcome along Marty!!

Gisborne is a top spot to ride.

You handle the 450 really well

hope to ride with you again some time.

[drewMember]

arh don’t give up just yet!

maybe just don’t try too hard,

my tip would be maybe swap your front sprocket 1 or 2 teeth, that way your bike will respond quicker when your throttle on.

instead of the dump the clutch method, start in 1st gear, and ‘blip’ the throttle, you will feel the front wheel pop up and then down,

just do this while putting around an open area and slowly make the blips on the throttle longer so you can feel how the bike reacts and get a feel for the weight of the bike.

then you can after some time and yes practice, you can feather the throttle while the front wheel is in the air.

as for hopping the front over logs and stuff, do the same and find an open area you can practice in, maybe find a slallish limb say the size of your arm,

peg it to the ground so it won’t move on you while you ride over it.

and do the same, just ride over it to start with, 1st gear, and just enough speed so you don’t jump it, if that makes any sense.

then once you feel how the bike reacts try and blip the throttle as the front wheel hits it.

do that until you are comfortable then blip the throttle just before the front hits it.

but you will have to stand up just enough so that when the rear wheel hits the log, you are not bumped out of your seat.

now grasshopper, practice practice practice ANd practice :dry: :unsure:

good luck

call/ go see the nearest dealer,

give em the vin and they should be able to give you the code.

and i forgot the wires at the back should be robust enough to pull the head unit out enough to tip forward / on it’s side

and will have a big plug you can disconnect to take the unit out.

[drewMember]

hey ollie, some time in the future (but no firm dates as yet ) my folks will be going to Marulan to pick up a mini stallion , maybe able to bring it up if you/ someone can meet them there.

anyway just another option for you to think about.

Welcome Kris

i’m the “favourite ” honorary Vic member, :dry: but seeing i’m the only ‘honorary’ Vic member, ( that i know of) that’s not much of a recommendation :unsure:

just over the boarder above Echuca

so maybe see you on a ride some time

[drewMember]

i feel for ya Jak,

i’ll send ya a money box for the young fella

oh and have you thought of driving up a steep bumpy hill? :blink:
:silly:

[drewMember]

when trying the inverted conversion from rtzx102 to rtzx103

it is much more simple and straight forward than that

you bypass it with a 3 gage wire jumper using fumble junx patented connectors and 4 size 2.33 zip ties coated in Carnauba wax mixed with 0.07823% goanna oil

but you have to get the ratio of wax to goanna oil precise otherwise you may as well just go back to the future and buy a new one or even upgrade it for the suay214

. :woohoo: :blink: :silly: 😆 :cheer: :laugh:

[drewMember]

Hey Jak, maybe you shoulda posted in the Tech thread to keep the riff raff out :unsure:

try here Barra icc removal

it’s taken me an hour to find it! :angry:

you’d reckon it would have been a Q? lots would have asked, but only a hand full :huh:

it’s a pain to get at the head unit in the BA onwards, i tried just to access the under side of the auto shift leaver cover/ indicator panel

needless to say i had some screws left over :dry:

but this manual would have been a BIG help!

Rocky Road:
all weights are approx. . if you don’t like the finished product, next time you make it add or subtract what is to your liking.

400 grams Dark chocolate (i use Nestle dark choc melts) this makes a big batch so 1/2 or even 1/4 the amounts for the first go and work it from there.

250g unsalted cashews

250g paw paw chunks, dried paw paw or dried pear

1 bag of marsh mellows, can’t remember the size of the pack.

i use those silicone baking trays.

i put the choc melts in the backing tray, heat gently on the side of our wood fired stove

but sit the tray on a steel tray so prevent spills, sit it over a bowl of hot water to melt the choc in the silicone baking tray, this saves on clean up.

put 1/2 the choc bits in the tray and once it is melted add the other 1/2 in small amounts as the previous lot added has melted, until it is all added and melted

chop the paw paw into about 1cm size bits, i use kitchen scissors to cut the marsh mellows in 1/2

once all the choc is melted, add all the nuts, paw paw and mash mellows into the choc and stir until all other ingredients are coated in choc and loosely push it down just so you don’t get big gaps in the mix.

put in fridge until set, turn it out, cut it into rough bits and enjoy.

Very nice Trent! >drool emoticon here<

maybe your OBT member number.

your initials as represented in the alpha numeric ‘sms’ numbers e.g. mine ajf 254

the date you got your bike?

At 25% lighter and a bigger engine the trials bike would be a better choice I reckon.

Ahuh,Okay gottcha now.

you have to remember you are dealing with some simple folk on here Moto,

for those of us you need to t__y__p__e__ _s__l__o__w__l__y__ __a_n_d___c_l_e_a_r_l_y__

um i think if you have a closer look at the second last and last pics of the Air Tricker,> :blush: in the main batch of pics, not including the one with the development team, which is the last pic, sorry for any confusion <

you will see the bmx style brake “thingy” ( proper tech term u know! :silly: ) it allows 360º rotation of the head stock / bars, and the last pic actually shows the bars facing backwards. :blink:
