No worries Raul, and you're right, a little divert is fine, as long as it's purely in fun. I'm not sure how you Spaniards are gonna invade Australia though, the Conquistadores are long gone, and you guys are about as scary as your neighbours, the French! Ha ha, Cheers, Terry. ;D ;D ;D

Sad but true, centuries ago Spaniards and Portuguese signed the Tordesillas treaty to divide the world they had conquered. It seems once we stole all the gold and silver from the south american indians and turned their maidens into women in the name of God we lost interest in the conquered lands. They were nothing but a moneypit...

The sad part of history is that it is written by winners.

And the definition of "winner" is subjective and often temporary.  ;)

So have you got any of that ol' gold and silver still kicking around mate? I'd be happy to trade you back that testicle for a couple of pounds of that shiny stuff? Ha ha, Cheers, Terry. ;D

Don't worry. The "winners" often end up with syphilis, leprosy, plague or tuberculosis. The extra testicle will come in handy when the other two rot and fall off.

All the more reason to hide in the shed and drink strong beer.

Well you're the closest Tim, it's metallic black, 2K paint! Ha ha, yeah, I'm painting Sean Condon's CB750F3 stuff, (he sent it all the way from Oakland, California!) it definately has a distinctive smell, and after ingesting the fumes for awhile, my thoughts turn to............ Ah you don't wanna know, ha ha!

Here's a pic so far. Hey Sean sent me out a repro decal set, does anyone know where the small warning decal sits? On top of the fuel cap flap? Above it? Below it? Sorry guys, I had another F2 with oem paint, but don't remember that decal? Cheers, Terry. ;D

G'Day mate, no rattle cans here, I've been painting cars and bikes for many years, so that's the latest HVLP/2K (clear over basecoat) technology, modified slightly for the home workshop. Any idea where that sticker goes? Cheers, Terry. ;D

Unky Ernie, I know what you're saying mate, but I'm just the painter, not the owner. Cheers, Terry. ;)

That sticker was the first thing I removed in my GZ250. Even worst, as it was clear white with black letters. I would keep the decal and stick it myself when I put the bike for display, but wouldn't stick it if I intend it to ride. On the other hand, the oil warning sticker is something I put on my sidecover as part of my tune up.

I wasn't familiar with the program/slogan, guess I was never into ATV's. But when you think about it, it's just a matter of how many wheels.  ;)

Well you guys coulda tole me a day earlier! Geebus, yesterday I opened up ma thumb on my sons oil filter when I used the "punch a screwdriver through the filter" method to remove it, then today I sandblasted a hole in my wrist, and minutes later I blew a blob of paint stripper right into my eye. (man, that stung!) So where can I buy some of those bandaids? Ha ha, Cheers, Stoopid Terry! ;D

Terry, if you don't give a damn about yourself at least look after my ball. I have hopes of recovering it some day...

Raul


P.S. The paint stripper in the eye can be worse than only stinging. Did you rinse it thoroughfully?
