That's it Mick, turn up tomorrow bronzed up and 3 parts pissed, and you'll never have to worry about working on Saturday mornings, (or any other day, for that matter) ever again.

My brother told me that the NAB is going after him over a failed business venture, and as my Triumph Rocket III is still registered in his name, they might come after me, even though I paid him for it in 2009. If they do come after me, I'm gonna meet them at the door well bronzed up, with the ol' Rocket a lovely shade of bronze too...........  

[trueblue]

Thanks for the Birthday wishes everyone. 

Today was far better than yesterday, the bronzer was still bronzed from 2 days ago and refusing to shower (they were considering turning the deluge system on the prick, which will fill his cell to about waist deep in water, but I don't know what came of that), and the slasher was still slashing, but I didn't have to deal with either of the #$%*tards.  I also have the weekend off, the first one in the last month.  I'm having a few mates round tomorrow for a couple of beers, a barbie and a bonfire.  fingers crossed it will be a good night, the weather report is looking good at the moment.

Terry, after that you should rock up at the beach in a budgie smuggler, bronzed up and see how many young backpackers you can pick up.  After all they are always after the Bronzed Aussies .

You might be able to get around that one Terry.
If the law hasn't changed, there's a distinction between a registered owner and an actual owner as I found out in court back in the 70's when I sold a Morris Minor to this lad who had a prang with it and they tried to have my balls for bookends.

It was still registered in my name at the time even though he'd paid and signed the receipt that he'd bought it.
So the ol' beak told the complainant to fcuk off and dismissed the allegation.

So, if the NAB comes knocking on your door mate, tell 'em to go 'n get Bronzed. 

[vfourfreak]

That's just karma for your drunken 2am RC30 antics Kev, "Let he who hath not sinned, cast the first stone". Suck it up mate, and it will pass.....

Yup, I agree, what goes round . . .

It's improved to the point where it seems like I only have the guy who rented the apartment in "Pacific Heights" in the old lug hole. Better news is, as part of a strategic plan, the wretched Peugeot is up for sale to raise some Francs now that the RC30 is a proven item. Car days will be suspended in favour of a return to two wheeled transport.

 

Miles of smiles.

Not pissed off at all.

Thanks Mick, I had a similar thought so I'm not too worried, but it would be a piss-off if I lost it after paying for it fair and square, plus the $5K in accessories, plus the $2K it cost to repair after the output shaft bearing crapped out, etc etc.

The brother has got bi-polar, I think he always had plans to buy it back when his financial situation improved, and for that reason I never pushed him  to transfer it into my name. No biggie, I'll just have to save up a few bars of "special bronze" just in case.........

Andrew, I'm not allowed to go to the beach after last time. Someone suggested that I shove a spud down my budgie smugglers to attract the babes, but they forgot to tell me to put the spud down the front of me dacks..... Oh well.

[mick7504]

That bi-polar is a bastard mate especially when some others don't understand and sit back and make judgement.
The ol' mate Greg got diagnosed, and in the meantime there were some dickheads saying that he just felt sorry for himself which was a whole lotta horse sh1t.
Greg loves his Sprint Car and opinions changed every time he kicked arse on the dirt track.

Instead of using spuds, we use to put a rolled up hankerchief in our Budgie Smugglers back in the disco/Rock 'n Roll days.
We use to look much the same as Robert Plant (Led Zep) on stage.
Up until now, I don't know if Mr Plant was using a rolled up hankerchief or if it was the real thing and that pisses me off. 

[petercb750]

I don't think it mattered if it was real or not for him....I'm guessing whatever size it was it got used a fair bit 

[Terry in Australia]

I think that was very brave of you Mick to tell the world that you used to shove things down your dacks to make yourself more attractive to the fairer sex, but I guess if you knew then what you know now you could have just pinned a visa card to your dacks for the same result...........

[Terry in Australia]

Well I'm really working hard to think of much that pisses me off today. I got home last night and my shiny new Ford Territory Titanium with all the bells and whistles was waiting in my carport, I told the wife that I'd bought the Harley and she didn't cut my balls off, the eBay seller who sold me a dodgy CD player sent me a full refund and told me to just bin the item, and Hawthorn won the Grand Final, again.

So what pisses me off? My neighbour a couple of houses away who must have the best amplifier in Oz. Seriously I can't hear the music, but the bass is almost rattling my windows. He's a bit of a sad case, his father and mother are nice, but I think he's one of those kids (well he's probably close to 30, but I'm getting old) who attracts trouble.

I don't think he's got many friends, and he spends most of his time listening to music, with that annoying bass reverberating through the neighbourhood. I don't want to kill him, but I am thinking about doing something to his powerboard...............  

[mick7504]

I did a some work on the Postie last night and ended up launching a bolt across the workshop floor while I was giving it a polish on the buffer.
And to bronze up the situation, it was a 6 x16 countersunk special bolt that I'm guessing is unique to Postie Bikes.
Well after grovelling around on my hands and knees and sweeping the  floor, the fcuking special 6 x16 countersunk Postie Bike bolt is still at large.
Fcuk It.

So after going to work this morning to check out this oil leak on one of our machines that the operator is trying his best to have a cerebal melt down over, the fcuking dickheads gone and washed the fcuking oil off .
I met the Caterpillar fella there to show him and turned out to be a waste of fcuking time.

So that was the start of the day.

Well, I was determined to find this Postie Bike bolt that still hasn't eventuated, so, over the last few weeks, the missus has been on my case about collecting and disposing of the fcuking palm fronds that are abundant at this time of the year.

No worries, if it keeps the peace at home, I'll reluctantly clean the fcuking palm fronds up.
That led to some weed spraying, whipper snipping and mowing.
By that time, the sun was beginning to set which means that it's Wild Turkey time.

So I cracked a nice cold WT and had a look to see what was sticking in my foot.
After a close inspection, I noticed that there's a bit of negative camber on my thongs and that pisses me off. 

[petercb750]

Retreads and a wheel alignment Mick, that'll sort it.

I thought you were going to tell us that the bolt was stuck on the bottom of your thong.

I had a little screw pop out of one of my weathershields on the ute when I was washing it...felt it hit my arm then my foot but do you think I could find it...no fkn way....where the hell do they go 

[mick7504]

It's a 50 cent OEM Honda bolt Pete.
I can still put the bracket on with the other 2 bolts and fit the new bolt afterwards but it's enough to make ya wanna Bronze Up.

Andrew, I'm not allowed to go to the beach after last time. Someone suggested that I shove a spud down my budgie smugglers to attract the babes, but they forgot to tell me to put the spud down the front of me dacks..... Oh well.

Same story here Tez.
Ev won't let me near the beach either.
She doesn't mind that I'm attracting the babes ........................ but she gets a little embarrassed when they start pouring water over me and try to roll me into the surf.
 
Cheers,
Brian

[Terry in Australia]

Well we all know that chicks dig scars Brian, and with all the work you've had over your life, they must fcuking love you, you're like a patchwork quilt!

The dull thump thump thump of the music transformed into a full on gangsta rap party last night, so I walked outside to see where it was coming from, and it wasn't my neighbours kid at all, it turned out to be a house 500 yards across the paddock, fark! It was so loud I was having problems hearing the TV 10 feet from me, so I rang the cops.

The cop on the other end of the phone couldn't believe that the house I was complaining about was 500 yards away, but agreed to send a couple of uniformed cops around, but also explained that it was a Saturday night and they were pretty busy, but would get to it ASAP.

So around two hours later the music stopped. Thank God. Then about 15 minutes later, it started up again. I'm thinking they waited for the cops to bugger off, then they cranked it up again, only louder. This went on for another 15-20 minutes, then it went quiet again, and didn't come on again. Good.

Drunken drugged out "gangsta's" listening to c-rap (the last bastion for the few black people who can't actually sing) piss me off..............  

[gypsyrider]

hey folks I'm new to this so please be kind. Been a biker all my life now 67 years old,have two fours first 75 i bought new it's now a chopper with 90'000 miles on it. Second is a 1969 i bought last year out of a barn in Michigan it had 4,000 miles now 7,000 miles also have 5 other bikes have had two over thirty years.What pisses me off? The price on some of the parts for 750s hell of a rip off as far as I'm concerned. Hope to meet some of the riders in Michigan next year. Be cool and ride the hell out of them.  Gypsy

[mick7504]

Well, it looks like Deere John will be outa action until at least next weekend.
Yesterday was a bloody big mowerthon that mainly stirred up a lot of dust although the yard looks better now that the grass is level and the crunchy leaves have gone.

So I mowed until well after dark last night while it was a bit cooler.
That meant that quite a few beers were consumed in the process.
At one stage I remember thinking that Deere John was handling like  mattress but I kept going and just put that down to the alcohol.

Anyway, this morning while Deere John was getting a tub, I noticed a slight misalignment issue with the front wheels and I've got no idea how that happened.

What pisses me off is that the fcuking drag links aren't adjustable so nothing can be done today except have a few beers and sort it out next week.

Welcome from Oz Gypsy, yep, I guess the price of 750 bits has increased somewhat since you bought your first "Fat Four", I'm 12 years your junior, but I remember buying a new RC 4 into 1 for my 1975 F0 (that I bought new in 1978) for $129, or a fibreglass Rickman or Dunstall (can't remember) front fender for 20 bucks. What the hell, they're good bikes and don't often need new parts, and there are bargains out there if you look hard enough. Have a good one mate. Cheers, Terry.  

[topperharley]

Haindst piston rings. Or the fackt that i cant find a replacement. Conclusion. I piss my self of.

What for mate? If it's a CB750 you can buy new 836cc kits on ebay for $130 US, and there's a guy selling several HA big bore kits, he might have some rings for sale too? Cheers, Terry.

Fcuking useless "tradesmen" are still pissing me off. I bought a new hot water service a month or two back, had the plumber who installed it come out 3 days in a row to re-light it when it kept going out, finally I re-lit it myself and it hasn't gone out since, but the plumber couldn't tell me why it kept going out. I suspected air trapped in the gas line, but he "poo-pooed" it, so who knows?

Ever since he installed it, the pressure relief valve has dribbled water out at an alarming rate. I rang him, he came out, said the the pressure relief valve was too small, and Rinnai needed to replace it. I rang Rinnai, they sent a tech out, he said that there should have been a water pressure reducer valve installed by the plumber.

I rang the plumber and he said that's all bullshidt, it's Rinnai's faulty pressure relief valve. I rang Rinnai, they said they'd come out and inspect it, but if it wasn't a faulty unit, they'd charge me a $210 service fee to come out. I rang the plumber to make sure that the unit was indeed faulty, he said yes, so I got Rinnai to come out, they tested my water pressure, said it was too high and I needed a pressure reducer installed, said there was nothing wrong with their pressure relief valve, and charged me $210. Fcuking great.

Today I'm going to Reece Plumbing to buy a pressure reducer valve and some copper pipe so I can fcuking fix it. This really pisses me off, the only error I made was relying on a fcuking tradesman and paying him on time, and I've been fcuked again. One step forwards, and two steps back..........  

[Terry in Australia]

So I drove over to Reece plumbing, bought a 500 KPA PRD, (another 94 fcuking bucks) came home, and installed it, and guess what? No fcuking run off!

This really shidts me, I originally paid 1500 bucks to get a new hot water system installed, plus a $210 "service charge" from Rinnai and it's taken around 2 months and numerous visits from "professionals" to stop it pissing out water, and as fcuking usual, the only fcuking reason that it's working properly now, is because I fixed it my-fcuking-self.

Fcuking "tradesmen" are all schidt, they have no morals and no fcuking brains, and they can all suck my sweaty balls................

Before I fcuking fixed it:



After I fcuking fixed it: (how hard was that Nick, you useless Krunt?)

[mick7504]

That's good that you've got it sorted mate.
Time and time again it just pays to do it yourself and the jobs right.

I'm starting to think that "Nick the fcuking Tradesmans" brother could be working here in Darwin after getting fcuked around this morning.
Last Thursday, I ordered a Hazard Light switch for one of our trucks and took the old switch in for a sample that still had a sticker on it with the Bosch part number.
No worries I'm thinking to myself, how hard can this be.

So this morning, I went to collect the new switch, got a fcuking invoice for 187 bucks and the fcuking switch is not even close.
Welcome to the new working week and I was pissed off already by 9.30 this morning. 

[Terry in Australia]

Geez, Terry, $1,500 for a water heater? Are there naked mermaids inside using bellows and coal to heat the water? WTF! Stuffs overly-expensive in Oz. I'm pissed off for you-

Thanks Cal, I suppose I should state here and now that the exchange rate is such that an Aussie dollar is only worth around 70 cents US at the moment, which would mean my water heater cost around $1000 US, but yes, things are expensive here mate, that's what happens when a country with a land mass roughly equivalent to that of the US, has a population of only 1/15th of that of the US. Small population, not much industry, and heavy on imports. That pisses me off too............

[trueblue]

Perhaps we can help: I will organize a mass exportation from us to you of our resident "alien population" to bump up your population stats, thereby helping to increase the demand for such products, and thus lowering your costs. Hows that for friendly Trade Agreements?  With all the money you'll be saving, you can buy at least 2 new bikes annually 

We already have enough of them Cal, we don't want you losing all your illegal aliens

[Terry in Australia]

Er, well I'm already buying at least two bikes annually now mate, so you can keep all your "aliens" and I'll be happy to pay $1500 for another hot water system in 20 years time.................

My deadlock on my front door crapped itself today (it's an American "Lane" brand lock, must be made by those Aliens, 'cos it's rubbish) and I was looking for something to fill the hole, so I rummaged around the garage and I found another lock that I'd meant to install on the laundry door (but never got around to it) and as it was keyed alike with the existing lock, I thought, well, why not? I think it looks kinda cool...................
