    Question

    in The Bar

    Posted

    N_Tart is in hospital at the moment for neck surgery.

    We're waiting for updates on how she's doing Alan.

    Sorry to hear that, I didn't know. Apologies.

    Question

    in The Bar

    Posted

    Is JMW and N Tart one and the same? The reason I ask is that since JMW has left the building there haven't been any recent postings from N Tart. I mean she's female and quiet - it don't ring true.

    :huh:;):D:rolleyes::unsure::wacko::blink:

    Pet Hates (Drivers)

    in The Bar

    Posted

    My pet hates are drivers that don't indicate at islands. Anyone that drives a Merc or a Beemer - they think they own the road. Speed cameras on dual carriageways in the middle of nowhere. Cyclists - they think they're above the law. FLAT BEER. Oh yeah cold calling twats that try to flog double glazing when they can see it fitted already! :angry:

    Killer Reason to watch WSC this year...

    in General

    Posted

    World Superbikes should be great this year. I personally think that it was better to watch than Motogp last season.

    Disagree with you there M8. WSB was (as always) a Ducati benefit. Apart from a few freak results if you hadn't got a Duke you weren't going to do owt. With the influx of works teams coming back to WSB then hopefully there should be some closer racing and then it should be on a par with Moto GP.

    I still think that Silverstone is a shite place for bike racing - bring WSB back to Donington Park. Some m8s of mine went last year and they complained about how distant the bikes were at most parts of the circuit. For my own part I was part of the scrutineering team last year and unlike most circuits you can't actually see any of the bikes along the whole length of the start finish straight from pit lane. Lots of noise but no bikes!

    I done exactly the same thing mate! Was pissing down outside so couldnt spray in the garage because of the moisture. So brought the wing inside the kitchen, masked up all the surfaces and put blankets everywhere. So thought no one would know...

    I thought all the paint particles would just fall to the floor... but they didnt they were over every single brick on the walls in the kitchen, over the aga and everywhere. I had to t cut off the fridge freezer, the aga had to stripped and repainted, and my dads favorite brick walls were rendered over! He got the brick arch over the aga sand blasted but made so much mess decided not to with the walls.

    One of the many times i was in shit as a kid!

    I never thought to mask the kitchen off. It was a case of I know what I wanted to spray and where it just never dawned on me that spray particles would go anywhere except on the bike! It cost me a bloody fortune to put the kitchen right! :blink:

    What's the matter with you people haven't you got sitting rooms? ;)

    Yeah But it's full of furniture :blink: Actually it's still safer to park bike outside especially with 4 sprogs, a demented dog and 2 moggies in the house. I did suggest to her indoors that I should park bike in the house but that went down like a fat bird at a wife swopping party :huh:;):D:wacko:

    My RD400 also got uncovered in the night, pissing rain and high winds. I haven't got the top end on it yet so now I have a crankcase full of rainwater  :(

    These things are sent to try us Alan  :angry:

    KEEF.

    I think if that were my bike I'd be bouncing off the walls by now!

    I seem to have got away pretty lightly.

    Apart from mud on the r/h bar end weight, brake lever,footrest and rear brake pedal which will obviously wash off, there's a crack (about 3inches long) in the nose fairing panel just above the indicator. Nothing else seems to be damaged - there's nowt bent. Hopefully I shall be able to repair the fairing from behind.

    Compared to my old Gixer (that got pushed over) it's nothing. These Yams are built more robustly!

    I'm waiting for a shed to be delivered so that my pride and joy has somewhere dry to live. At 5am today I was woken up by a noise outside. My beloved Exup was lying on its side on the lawn - a victim of these 80mph winds! The wind had got under the cover and caused the bike to fall to the right. I can't see any damage but shall have a look when it gets light :angry::cry2:
