Tests at the doc office piss me of.
Been having a issue lately and they missed doing a test on a sample now i have to wait 4 more days for results. And the bad thing. Its one of the most common reasons for my symptoms....

[Trevor from Warragul]

Mosquitos!  It's the frickin' middle of winter, and I just killed two of the beggars while working on my bikes in the garage.  I'm starting to believe this climate change stuff...

[jgger]

Volkswagen and "German engineers "  , that has got to be the ULTIMATE OXYMORON! I completely ran out of cuss words today, and that is hard to do since I have been in construction for over 4 decades! The only freaking car I have seen that you need to raise it up on Jack stands to remove the rocker cover from the top of the engine. Plus they put the timing chains on the wrong end of the motor so you have to split the engine and trans to change a simple timing chain. Plus about $100 to $150 for "special" tools to use once and toss just to time the cams.

Did I mention that I HATE VW?

Kangaroos. Big fat stupid jumping rats, that for some reason can't see shiny new Ford Ranger pickup trucks barreling down at them at 130 KPH (80 MPH) with lights on high beam in total darkness.

BANG!!!! FCUK!!!! SH1T!!!! SPEW!!!! Dammit, there goes my day, I didn't bother stopping, the roo was probably dead, but if not, I didn't have anything to put him out of his misery, and it might look odd to passers by if I was beating a kangaroo to death with my suitcase. The massive eagles who patrol the Victoria Highway at dawn to pick up any wounded roos and fly away with them for a good wholesome breakfast would have sorted the poor dumb baastard I suppose, luckily for me Army guys don't pay any excess on hire cars they damage, or I would have been out $1100.

Nearly killing yourself because our national symbol is the stupidest animal on earth really pisses me off........

[spotty]

But there can't be that many national symbols that taste quite that good fried with a shedload of chilli

And that must piss those dopey skippy bastards right off,

[Terry in Australia]

That's true mate, the eagles reckon they're good tucker, but to me, I'd rather eat a nice looking cow, or one of the Buffaloes or Brahmans that were wandering around on the side of the road just outside Katherine? I don't know if anyone owned them or if they were wild, but they were huge, each carrying probably 3000 or 4000 delicious quarter pounders.

I'd seen a couple of carcasses on the highway on Friday when I was driving down, I'm guessing they were cleaned up by road trains, because if you hit one in your car, you'd come off second best.

 

[spotty]

Did hear many years ago of a chap who hit some form of large bovine creature out that way somewhere, he was riding one of Bavarias finest twin cylinders, he apparently came off less than second best..
And that must have pissed the BMW club off as it can't be easy attracting members with their reputation, eh Terry ?

Worse than the BSA Club Spotty? I've only been to a couple of meetings and one ride 28 years ago so I don't really have that much to do with them, but they didn't seem like a bad bunch, for the most part. I only pay my annual membership so I can keep my red plates for my old bikes, and one day I do intend to go on another ride with them, but that means I have to fire up my beautiful BMW K100RS SE, which I haven't done since I put it in storage 4 years ago.

It was a lovely bike to ride from memory, but having 15 bikes, many of them lovely, I just haven't gotten around to flushing the dead fuel out of the tank, charging the battery (which is still holding a charge, incredibly) and taking a closer look at an oil leak that may require a new oil/water pump seal kit. The clutch was slipping a tad too, so I hope there's room for adjustment, because if not, it's a huge job to replace the car-like clutch assembly. I've done it before, so not that worried, but it's on my "one day" list, which sort of pisses me off just a tiny bit.......

[spotty]

The thing with the BSA club is they've worked out that other members are the only ones that can tolerate the interminable droning on of other bsa 'enthusiasts' , so once you're in its very hard to get away
I"m looking forward to running giggling into the night when our bike club gets its sh1t together and sorts our red plate permit

[Don R]

 My k2 dragbike case is damaged so I went through the junk shelf and I carried the F2 motor to the lift but now since I'm unsure about oil drain holes I decided instead to use the K5 10,000 mile stuck cylinder engine that's sitting on the floor. I believe my F2 backcut trans will fit the K5 case, if not oh well.  Anyway the #$%*'s heavy and that pisses me off.

I think it will fit Don, but you'll have to use all the F2's guts, including the output shaft, and so I'd check that it'll fit before I go any further? You can use your F2 bottom end with a K2 top end, I ran a K6 top end (cylinder block and head) in my F2 and there were no oil issues.

Yep, I think most clubs have their "problem children", just like the CFA ("We light 'em, then we fight them") SES, etc etc. The trouble is, once they're in the club, it's hard to get rid of them. They won't have that problem with me, being the sociopath that I am, they'll never even see me!

Any time we go to visit our son we travel through the town of Crawfordsville Indiana and on the very south end of town is a motorcycle club in a run down building that calls itself "The Iron Order" and as you can guess it's an HD club. They obviously don't like Jap bikes because last summer I noticed an older Jap bike setting out front on its center stand, I haven't gotten close enough to see exactly what it is but it seems like maybe a vintage GS1000 or maybe KZ1000, it looks complete but in dire need of restoration just setting outside near the entrance to the building rotting away in the elements. This year though they took it a step further and now have the bike with its rims setting in concrete so it's not going anywhere anytime soon and it's clear they're making an anti Jap bike statement. It doesn't piss me off, it's their money, their bike so I actually find it amusing although it does bum me out a bit to see a bike with so much potential deliberately being neglected. Next time we go by there I'll see if I can stop and take a pic of it.

 I'm apparently full of sh  it.  I checked the case numbers and the K2 dragbike's case is an F1. Whodathunkit?  The K5 engine is also a K6 that I removed from a wreck that had sat 40 years. The cases cleaned up nicely (not easily) and the rotating assembly is nice with a hint of brown on the rods and shift drum. It was left in a barn with no carbs so mice lived in the ports. I bent my hydraulic press's frame trying to jack a piston out. The cylinder left an impression on the wood that was under it. A torch may get it done later.
 
  In the meantime, I traded fixing a 500 (tank and carb clean) for a 76F reportedly with a 900 motor. It was once owned by the same guy that sold me a henry abe 900 kit. I dug it out of the garage and the sides of the motor are loose and the carbs and exhaust are off. It's likely junk too. I'll go back with a kicker and try it. The second PO took apart four Hondas, never put anything back together. And He's what pisses me off.

Fcuking suicidal wildlife pisses me off. For fcuks sake, if you want to kill yourself, thats fcuking fine, and I don't give a sh1t, go for it, but stop looking to me for help! A kangaroo wiped himself out on my hire car on Sunday, and a fcuking big stupid eagle flew into the windscreen of my little hyundai today.

The fcuking eagle was huge and at 130 Kph (80 MPH) I was sure it was gonna go straight thru the windscreen and once inside would probably decide that I wasn't its friend, but that little Hyundai is one tough little fcuker, that 50 pound bird just bounced off and over the top of the car, and apart from a dirty smudge, did no damage at all!

Well there may have been some other damage in my underpants, but less said about that, the better. The good news is the cars been returned, Thrifty are none the wiser, and I'm in the Virgin lounge availing myself of all the free food and booze I can, while I wait several hours for my direct flight home. Seriously, as much as I'm loving 80+ degree weather in the middle of winter, the suicidal Northern Territory wildlife pisses me off.

[spotty]

i've tried darwin bitter in the infamous 'darwin stubbie' ( 2 litre beer bottle) and i'm telling you , you'd have to be suicidal to drink that sh1t

and that pisses me off cos there should be no such thing as bad beer ( not taking into account some of the stuff i make)

[Terry in Australia]

Yep I discovered many years ago that to make a Darwin stubby taste good you need to leave it for as many years as possible before drinking it. I left the one my brother bought me for 7 or 8 years and it tasted marginally better than a fresh one, so I've left all Darwin beer for the last 35 years, and I imagine it probably tastes fine now, but I'll leave it for a few more, just to make sure.

What does piss me off though, is that the heathens here have never heard of Ginger Joes? For fcuk sake, suicidal wildlife and no possibility of calming your nerves after a near death experience is almost more than a man can take. I've got a fridge full of GJ's at home, but home is too far away right now, and that pisses me off too.

[Terry in Australia]

I looked at my ticket and realised that they'd put me in a centre economy seat! WTF! I hate centre economy seats! I upgraded to a business class window seat for 5 hours of blissful comfort. That doesn't piss me off at all.....

[spotty]

Ah well, you'll be home in four hours or so...

Couple of ginga Joe's to wash down the evenings pharmacopeia cornucopia

[Terry in Australia]

Friday morning, at work after only 3 hours sleep, woke up at 5, to be at work by 6, I haven't felt this hungover in years. Went across the road to the restaurant for Eggs Benedict, didn't really perk me up, looking forwards to a snooze in my comfy chair when I get home, once I've opened all my Ebay parcels.......

[Kelly E]

Every time the wife needs to use my hot rodded 85' GMC S-15 she breaks something. Last time it was the turn signal switch. This time it was the drivers side window lift. I actually had all of the parts that I needed to fix it on hand. Time for a beer or three.

[strynboen]

this piss me off.

Reminds me of what a friend said his dad told him about using the family car as a youngster. He said " you can drive it as much as you want without any gas in it...............BUT IT DAMN WELL HAVE WATER AND OIL!"

[BenelliSEI]

Went in my old (+125 years) barn today and what mess! 8-9 pigeons have moved in over the last two weeks. There is a cross rod, end end, in the roof peek for a bale hoist trolley. The damn birds have been roosting and there is a 3’ wide shi*t stripe from one end to the other. Looks like a carpet unrolled end to end. Got one with a powerful 0.20” pellet gun, but now any time I head in there they all take off. Any suggestions? It’s a hay barn, so the boards are too far apart to seal the place up. The plastic owl is covered too. I guess they sit on him and let go there too!
