I hate the dentist,he wants to see me again for flossing!he said "ive seen better teeth on a worn sprocket"my wife also says
im ugly when I drink?

[mick7504]

#$%* the dentist Dave.
Last time I went to the Gold Coast with the missus for her 1/2 century birthday, I had to get a root canal job done there which cost something like 1 and half gorillas to fix the #$%*a up.

The #$%*en thievin' #$%*s are the first #$%*s to have a #$%*en whinge when they want their #$%*en car fixed. 

[Terry in Australia]

I hate the dentist too Mick, but the last time I went to get one of my fangs ripped out, the dentist was a cute little Indian chick. She was really struggling to pull it out, (my tooth, that is..........) so I helped by holding her while she pulled back, so she didn't fall over. That was probably the only time that going to the dentist didn't piss me off.

My HG Monaro had a HK Bathurst 327 engine, Muncie "Rock Crusher" gearbox, and 12 bolt diff. It was pretty quick, but I didn't like it (no power steering, it used to boil it's guts out in traffic, had a clutch so hard you needed two left feet and it had schidt brakes) so when I broke an axle (fcuking thing just snapped going around a corner) and I couldn't get another one in Melbourne I traded it in on my XY GS Futura (with 4V 351C, fully manualised C6 transmission and 9" Detroit Locker diff with 31 spline axles) and never had another problem.

I saw 150 MPH on the 160 MPH GTHO speedo, and it would have gone faster, but the fuel gauge needle was moving faster than the tacho, so I backed right off.

I sold the old XY when I got posted to Brisbane because I couldn't afford the fuel bill to drive up there, and I still miss it, which pisses me off..........

[dave500]

the 327 chev here was all the same engine,they got fitted into the locally assembled Pontiacs along with the 307,theres no "Bathurst"327 chevy engine,they were all the same cammed and carbed 327,the 307 wakes up with the 327 four barrel qjet though!imagine putting a 253 two barrel onto a 308 and that's what the improvement is,the 307 is overlooked as a good goer,it was only strangled!bathurst rumours piss me off!

[mick7504]

I just don't know whether to be pissed off or not today, but just to keep the flag flyin', fcuk it, I will. 

The day started off at about 5 o'clock with a #$%*en sore back so the only way to fix that #$%*a up is to get some blood flowin' through it.
Out I went and fired up the John Deere to mow the grass which got me in the sh1t immediately with the family and neighbours. 



So after that was done, I meandered down to the shed to do some work on the H4's.
I pulled a couple of old frames out of the dungeon to drop the nasty 836 into only to find that it wasn't gonna be that easy.
Fcuk it.
The first has rusted through the bottom of the frame and it was rooted.



So the second one had the passenger foot peg mounts twisted around and outa shape like a Drag Queen on acid.
Out with the Makita angle grinder and cut the #$%*s off.
What I did was to hack the rusted #$%*ed frame and get some goodies from that to make one good bastard.
There's gonna be some welding and grinding to do but that's just how it goes.





Over the last coupla weeks, I got the Gold Wang forks rebuilt after agonising over the paint finish and decided to do the front hub and H4 rear hub with Duplicor Alu eng paint.
I shoved in in the lathe and polished 'em with some Maguirers Hi Tech pull ya pecka polish. 
They came up not too bad for the bush.







I'm gonna machine some sleeves to push up inside the rear footpeg holders before they're welded just to keep the whole show lined up.
The ID of the frame tube for the footpegs is about 3/4" and the closest diameter of round bar I've got is 1".
Pissed off about that. 



I think that covers it now.
Here's the Wang forks with the Duplicolor Alu paint and Hard Chromed tubes.



Anyone for some head.

Chevy lovers here always seemed to frown on the 307 because at about the time it came out our beloved EPA was putting a strangle hold on exhaust emissions and HP #'s plummeted, the early DZ302 or 327 was the preferred small Chevy. Then came the "stroker" engine craze where they were swapping 350 cranks into 400 blocks or 400 cranks into 350 blocks.

It was early/mid 70's and a coupla mates had more money or more debt than us fellas mate.
One of 'em bought a HG Monaro.
308 Auto and orange/mustard with black carpets and seats.
He was that particular about it that you had to wipe your feet before you climbed onboard until a few years later when there was empty beer bottles and Hungry Jacks packets over the back floor. 

The other mate bought an XY Hoe (proper job Shaker) for 4 1/2 gorillas and it was angry.
It had Aunger mags and he was running Kleber tyres on it which I haven't heard of for years.
140MPH wasn't a problem for that.
We shoulda been put in a pine box by now with some of the crazy things we did back then.

All a part of growing up I 'spose. 

[mick7504]

Does this qualify for Steampunk Bobber Thingy yet now that it's had the chop. 
Maybe it should go onto Ebay and wait for a willing buyer.
Anyway, I bet that I'm 2 cuts ahead of the other one. 

I might see if I can get some hydraulic pipe and stick it in the pipe bender.
It's gonna have to be cut again above that engine mounting point where the "Spanish Dancer" has eaten into it.
Another job to do now but it's a spare frame so it might go back into storage for a while.
Pisses me off.

Your confused Mick, that resembles a steaming pile of turn....  Steam turd punk maybe...?

Ha ha, thanks Dave, they say that "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing", and as always, you're a font of all Holden knowledge. What I should have said, was that the engine came from a Bathurst race car.

There was nothing inside that engine that came out of the factory, and it would happily rev to 8500 RPM. When I bought it (I actually back-traded my Harley Sportster for it, and got enough cash back to buy my first Mig welder and metal cut off saw) it had twin 4 barrel carbs on a tunnel ram manifold, (the PO/builder was an Italian fella who'd bought the engine, then rebuilt it at a cost of over 8000 bucks) but I took them off and swapped them (and the bonnet with the big hole in it) for a 750 Holley on a Victor Junior manifold. (and a new bonnet)

As I said, it was quick, but no good for the street. That was why the XY was just so much better, it was built by Mick Webb when he had his little shop in Heidelberg and was good for over 300 BHP at the back wheels, but it was docile in traffic. Fcuk I wish I still had it! Cheers, Terry. ;

I went for a ride on my 650 today.  I pulled in at the local supermarket to grab some meat for dinner and as I left I ran into a special kind of crazy, I was riding down the road heading home.  The road went around a bend to the right, as I rounded the corner there was a Navara with a Hardley sticker in the rear window pulling into a driveway to do a u-turn on double white lines.  I could see they were about to back out and try to occupy the same space I was about to be in so I gave a toot on the horn to let them know I was there.  They looked and saw me then proceded to pull out.  So I layed on the horn and hard on the brake, she still kept coming.  Next thing she's on the brakes and opening the door.  I just rolled around her and left her standing in the middle of the road.  I caught a red light just up the road a bit and she came up on the inside of me shouting abuse and carrying on like a pork chop.  The light turned green, I left the stupid trollop shouting out her side window at no-one with a solo digit salute over the left shoulder.  She tried to keep up in her diesel piece of crap, but I figured it was best to put some distance between me and that sort of crazy.  Pissed me off though, up till then I had had a good ride and even had a 351 XY try to have some red light fun, he didn't keep up for too long .

It's a pity we have to share the same planet with such fcukheads. I usually try to get my speak in first by saying something like "Sorry, I thought I recognised you", to which they usually reply something like "I don't know you" to which my retort just as I drive off is "But you do look awfully like the moron I met last week".
It actually sounds a bit better in French, and I vary the word moron from time to time.
I'm pissed off for you.

Kev

[trueblue]

I couldn't really hear her properly, I had Cold Chisel playing on my intercom headset, the missus wasn't on the back so I didn't need the intercom .  I just looked at her through my tinted visor, looked ahead and rode away.  I think tonight I need to get into that vat of yours Kev.  Calming the nerves sounds like a good excuse .

[petercb750]

Had a couple of incidents like this over the years, it does rattle your nerves.
On one occasion, in the early 80s, I had a bloke completely cut me off and nearly kill me, when I got along side of him at the next lights and began my verbal abuse, he wound his window down and produced the biggest knife I've seen and waved it around at me outside the window. To say the least I sh!t myself and took off. Him 1, me 0, but I didn't want to lose any valuable assets - I was in my prime! 
It pissed me off though.

The trouble these days is you don't know who you're dealing with - they could be high on drugs or complete psychopaths, or Mongols or whatever.....and you could be buying yourself a heap of trouble. I'm trying to teach myself to just shake my head and let them have the road....it pisses me off, but might save more grief.

It's funny how they seem to remember all of the road rules and etiquette when one of these lads gets poked through the side window Pete.

Yep, that's about the most verbose (although quite eloquent) comeback I've ever heard Kev, was he still there when you finished? Next time a grumpy garlic muncher upsets you, feel free to use the classic Aussie comeback, which simply goes, "GET FCUKED, YA WOG!"

It's always nicer to upset someone while they're still in the same grid square......... Cheers, Terry.

Where the fcuk have you been Pete? I was that worried about you I almost called you, then realised that I've only got your old work phone number? Anyway, explain yourself young man, where've you been hiding the last couple of weeks? Worrying about you (in a manly way, of course) pisses me off!

Mate, just busy, and dealing with some, er,  domestic matters,  which has been a bit distracting. And a major piss off.
Totally pissed off that I still haven't ridden my bikes since the op. Was going to today, was a day off, but it's been pisatively possing down, plus I woke up with a migraine,  which also pissed me off.
Rode the tiddlers yesterday at motorcycle instructing and felt fine, so I'm determined to get out next weekend on one of the biggies.
I need some therapy.
Thanks for the concern.

Have bought tickets for motogp, which doesn't piss me off 

[faux fiddy]

I've been unable to become pissed off at anything recently. What should I do?

I just saw the latest boy band craze, Austin Mahoney on the Today show. Find him on you tube, that will piss you off.

[Bailgang]

I got passed by a small pack of loud HD's yesterday in a double yellow no passing zone and I was already doing 45 in a 35. Geez I thought it was us import bike riders that were supposed to be trouble makers? I had my wife on the back so I blew it off even though it pissed me off.

[BeSeeingYou]

My cell phone is so old that people sometimes make fun of it when they see me using it.  So now when it rings I look for a corner or go into a closet (not that there is anything wrong with that)  when  answering a call. So today as I am driving home there is the usual "homeless vet" begging for money at the stoplight and this time I catch him talking on his cell phone.  It's way better than mine, probably can even surf the internet, so I show him my phone and tell him that he should give me a few dollars.  He didn't and that pissed me off.

Take it easy after taht op Pete and follow docs orders. I got a bit ambitious four weeks after my extended right hemi-colectomy (google it). Lifted a C92 benly engine into the frame and pulled some sutures. Ended up back in hospital having a bit of shade cloth installed in my guts to fix a double incisional hernia. The original scare healed nicely but the hernia scare is very noticeable. And that pisses me off when wearing my speedos.
