Topic: Let it all hang out,tell us how you really feel and what pisses you off.

I'm not "Pissed Off", but I'm a bit flummoxed.

Please explain this rant to me Uncle Tez.


"Simple question, does a mandatory helmet law comply with the Non Aggression Priciple? It does not, as enforcement would involve the initiation of force against a person who has harmed nobody. The end result of enforcement is caging or killing violators (i.e. if the violator attempts to continue on his was while harming no person or property). Remember every time you think "they should make a law ...", the only tool government has to enforce any law is violence.

Is forcing people to wear helmets worth killing for? Absolutely not. All arguments regarding costs to others are irrelevant. Without the welfare state (the initiation of force) there would be no involuntary costs on others. If you have an argument against medical and ongoing costs in a wreck of a rider with no helmet, then you really have an argument against the welfare state and regulation of the medical sector.

With all that being said, I wear a full face all the time every time. I believe that choice has saved my life twice now. I strongly encourage everyone to wear a full face but would never threaten or use violence to get them to do so under duress."



They must have really good drugs over there .

I've scratched my head so long over reading and re-reading that post and I still no Fcuking Clue what he's on about... If he's on dope, he needs rehab.

[petercb750]

It's got me fkd too.

[petercb750]

It's 26 CFM mate with a 150 litre tank.
The electric motor is 3Ph/5.5HP but I've got no 3Ph grid power here which is why I tried to convert it Single phase with a 15 amp 3.5HP electric motor
but it just didn't have enough grunt to run the compressor motor after 80 PSI.

And that did piss me off because I thought that I'd backed a winner.
So, the options now are either sell it or put a 3 phase outlet on the 12.5 KVA Diesel Genset and crank her up.

There's nothing like a challenge mate especially if it means having a few beers and getting pissed off with these hair brain ideas. 

I'm pissed off about all the double dutch outer Zimbabwe southern Angola language you blokes are talking in....ffs, does it pump up fkn tyres or not......

Yeah no worries Pete.
It'll pump the pushbike up no problem.
But you have to be a bit careful mate because if you keep pumping big mobs of CFM's into it, you'll blow the fcuka up.

It's pretty simple actually Brian, he's saying that while he's dead against governments making helmet laws mandatory, (or worse, people riding without helmets being discriminated against by not being covered by medical insurance) he knows that helmets work, and says he's been saved by his own use of a helmet.

Pete, CFM = Cubic Feet (of air) per Minute. Mick's got a beaut compressor, but his 240 volt electric motor doesn't have the grunt to turn the pump once the pressure goes over 80 psi. I think the 3 phase (415 volt) plug on his big diesel generator will do the trick, or send it to me and I'll strap a big briggs and stratton onto it......

[mick7504]

The Air Comp is starting to look like the business again.
The 3 Phase motor is wired into the main isolation switch and all that needs to be done now is to fit and hook up the 3 Phase pressure switch.
The old pulley guard is a bit rooted so I'll either try and knock it back into shape or make up a new one.

I bought a new single phase pressure switch when the single phase conversion was in progress so that'll be a spare now.
Now there is a difference between 3 and 1 phase pressure switches and I don't know what the difference is.
Maybe the 3 phase switch has heavier contacts for the voltage leap so the old lad will be going on before it gets fired up for the test run.

Good work Mick, I've just arrived in Adelaide, so I'm gonna go find a steak and a cold drink or five....

[krusty]

Rossi pisses me off. I wont say why for those who haven't seen the race yet.

[mick7504]

They can knock up a mean steak in Adelaide Terry.
There use to be a bloody good chook shop on Burbridge Road not far from the Airport.
Pete might know if it's still there.
The Bangers and Mash with gravy at that chook shop was a good feed after the pub closed.

That was the staple diet back in the 70's when I was an Adelaide lad.
Cold piss and chooks made the world go 'round.
And Honda 4's too. 

[Terry in Australia]

Ha ha, those were the days Mick, when we were young and bulletproof, CB750's were among the fastest bikes on the road, and we didn't know (or care) what "handling" meant. I'm at the "Mawson Lakes" pub, I don't think Mawson Lakes existed when I was last here, but for under 30 bucks I just ordered a steak burger with the lot, garlic bread,  pint of cider and a pint of coopers, so I'm not pissed off at all.....

When was the race on Krusty? I thought it was later tonight? Poop! Looks like I've missed another one!

My kid told me to watch it saying something very unexpected happened in the race. I have it recorded on my dvr so I'll check it out later.

He pisses me off too. He's a fkn prick.

Mawson lakes?? You're closer to Alice Springs than Adelaide.

[Terry in Australia]

Rossi's a prick? What the fcuk? Who'd he murder? Everyone loves the Doctor!

[petercb750]

I've never liked him and now I know why...prick.

It pisses me off that the pie cart got banned by the council.

Thanks for that insight Tez.
It looks like all that time your spending in our nation's capital has paid off.

I remember the Pie Cart that use to be next to the Adelaide GPO on the corner of King William and Grote Streets and was towed behind the old red International truck.
I think it was an old AA Inter and it was in good nick for an old girl.

The good thing about Pie Floaters was that you never had to worry about getting constipated.
A good Saturday night session at the pub and a Pie Floater at 1am afterwards guaranteed that the dunny bowl would get spray painted the following morning.

He's copped a 3 point penalty and has to start from back of the grid next race. That'll piss him off.
Unless he wins his appeal and that'll piss Lorenzo off.

I believe the appeal was unsuccessful. Thankfully.
