Nice of you to say, but it just sounds a little wrong..... :-[ ;D
If I was to say the same to you, it would be very wrong, and then we'd have all these Yanks thinking we were stars in Brokeback Mountain or something.............and that would really piss me off... :o

So we'll keep all our lovin' to PMs hahahaha.

Yeah mate, well up until last year I could access this site from my work computer, so I had plenty of time to post interesting factoids........ ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Now I finally have some internet back, I can say I'm pissed off with floods.  I spent 3 days of the past week in Bundaberg, cleaning water out of the engines and drivetrains of the trucks of one of our customers.  Two days laying in a mixture of mud and oil, 28 hrs in the first two days and another 10hrs on the third day.  In the end though it was worth it, we got them all running.  What pisses me off the most is after busting my arse to get the trucks going, my back flared up and I was having trouble walking till I could get into the physio again and all the thanks I got from the boss was him getting up my ribs for hurting myself again. >:( >:(

I'm pissed off that some people think that they can do a better job of wiring a CB750 than Honda. I've just spent the last 5 hours chopping a halfarsed home made wiring loom off Tom's K2, and replacing it with OEM parts.

Every single wire on this bike from the tail light to the headlight has been either replaced completely, or had the OEM connectors chopped off and #$%*ty auto accessory shop connectors squished on. Fark!

So far I've had to replace the main harness, alternator rotor and stator, reg/rec/solanoid, ignition coils, both handlebar switches, ignition switch, idiot lights and other parts that I've probably forgotten.

On top of that the new wiring harness that Tom brought over if for a later model CB750 so I've had to patch up a 40 year old K2 harness cannibalising my two remaining harnesses to get the correct wires soldered back in. What a farking nightmare!

Oh, and it's hot. Farking hot. I had to come in at around 3 pm for an extended lunch because I could feel myself roasting in the driveway, (my garage is full to bursting with bikes and parts, so I'm doing this outside) so I'll take a break and go back out when it cools down a bit. I'm Pissed Off! Cheers, Terry. ;D

I bought a chopper for putting back to stock, and I'm not sure how they bothered to remove signal wiring on the  'ol cl450 along with the rest of the winkers.  Maybe  import and didn't have them ( unlikely).  I know it didn't have the front  control brakelight switch in '71 or '72 somewhere, and the bars I'm using to plug and play does.  I would been pissed off if I didn't have a premonition to buy that extra CL450  wiring harness at BARBER!

The great thing about the stupid enough to piss me off high  tiller bars that came on the chopper is they  are going to be recycled into a rear wheel stand.

We snow on the ground and closed schools, what pisses me off is that it will not stay - too warm for real winter.

BRISBANE pissed me off today.  What an arsehole of a place.  How the frick can anyone bear to live in that horrible friggin place.  I had to go down for a specialist appointment today and I was reminded why I like to live where I do.  The fan on the car crapped itself too so we had to have the heater on to stop it overheating in the traffic on the way into the city.  Now I need to find a decent mechanic to fix it  ::) ::)

Pisses me off that a dog's life is so short compared to that of a human.
Can I have a motorcycle when I get old enough?
If you take care of it.
What do you have to do?
Lot’s of things. You’ve been watching me.
Will you show me all of them?
Sure.
Is it hard?
Not if you have the right attitudes. It’s having the right attitudes that’s hard.

had a wheel alignment and balance about 8 months ago,never really been happy with it,a bit "unbalanced" and shaky at speed,i decide to remove one front wheel and check the bearing ajustment,whoa its a bit wobbly but not the bearing,the upper control arm bushings are obviously flogged out worse than ive ever seen so loose and floppy,the wheel alighn guy did half a job and never checked properly the wear of the pivot points,so i checked the rest and replaced those,car steers ok still,slack trades people piss me off.

I get pissed off when fkn ignorant useless incompetent car drivers decide to change lanes when you are right alongside of them and travelling about 30kph faster than them on a 4 lane road, forcing you onto the wrong side of the road over double lines and into on-coming traffic - especially when they are in a pos Tarago, don't use indicators or mirrors, and I am in my mini. How I didn't have a head on or get the side of the car taken out is still a mystery, but man I was pissed off and what did I get from the driver when I started waving my arms about and going off.....the bird.

I have a very heavy steering lock in the car and was prepared to use it, but the guy was in such a pos I was worried he'd just ram my car and laugh at me if I tried to stop him.....I'm still so pissed off....this wanker just didn't care that he almost caused me to die or even force an oncoming car off the road to avoid me and into a tree or something...I was so shaken I didn't even get his number to report him, not that it would make any difference.... >:(

You have those guys there too? I've heard tales of people rigging up a washer pump in the trunk, mounting the jets pointing backward under the rear bumper, filling the reservoir with brake fluid, and giving tailgaters a blast. Could've worked in your case with some maneuvering. Pretty harsh punishment though.
If it's worth doing at all it's worth over-doing.
