another f-ing cd200 question

good point

"it's a fucking benly, for fucks sake" or some such.

 

Yes, Carole Nash bundled recovery covers all my ancient piles of shit.

For some machines a hearty push into some bushes and selective amnesia is
an acceptable response.

 

I'm with Motorcycle Direct, mind. Who do Carole Nash use for their
recovery?

You really don't like my CD, do you?

 

I phoned the AA[1] up about taking the RS200 to germany and they just
laughed at me. They will cover it in the UK mind.


[1] Who I'm with at the mo

 

They seem to use independents. So, no, I don't know.

Not especially, I'm sure you'll be very happy with it. But it is brown.

 

it's not fucking brown - it's burgundy. And it's much prettier and
less 2-strokey than any MZ bag of shite.

 

I've never had a burgundy pair of shoes, but I've had a pair of NHS ones
the same colour as your Benly.

Duh, that was never in question [1].

Except perhaps "brown/darsyburgundy" and "prettier" may be mutually
exclusive.


[1] Although, all my MZ's are either red (fast) or black (hard).

Did I glimpse a little bit of a rattle there?

 

err, no. I'm afraid you've been whoooshed.

 

I think the CD200 looks much more like a "real motorcycle" than MZs.
I'm sure you know, but they're unredeemably ugly.

 

darsy was seen penning the following ode to ... whatever:

Mondial.

 

About 15 years ago, when I shared a flat on the Wester Avenue (A40),
my flatmate was fettling his Renault 5 in the lay-by out front.

Someone at work had suggested using Redex, so the bright lad put a
capful down each plug hole.

Needless to say, when it eventually started, the whole of Western
London disappeared from view, and traffic was reduced to a standstill.

Being a socially minded chap, he just revved away until the smoke
cleared.

My brother once had a shite old ford escort, 1.1l, which had the unusual
addition of a second screenwash reservoir. This was connected to the carb,
and wired via a switch array from an old helicopter (I kid you not) hidden
in the central console.
Much fun was had experimenting to find the mix of fluids to generate the
desired smoke cloud. 50/50 redex and used engine oil did the trick - masses
of sweet-smelling smoke on demand!

 

The instructions say to turn the engine over with a rag held over the
spark plug hole, so that the Redex is blown out before the engine is
started.

When I had a car with an SU-type carb, I would use Redex in the
dashpots.

response the first:

<fx:looks at Nigel's .sig>; funny, I thought you had better things to
gripe about than other people's spelling...

response the second:

both unredeemable and irredeemable are valid words, though the later
is admitedly by the more common of the two (5.5K hits -v- 17k hits on
Google, as a simple barometer).

There's a subtle difference in meaning too. "Unredeemable" refers to
something that is "not redeemable", where "irredeemable" is usually
used to mean "beyond redemption", which is not quite the same thing
i.e. "irredeemable" basically says "game over", where "unredeemable"
allows a small chink of hope that the object in question may be
capable of being redeemed in a particular circumstance or if this or
that modification are performed to it.

"Unredeemable" also has a secondary meaning: "having no redemption
value" i.e. "this plastic bottle is unredeemable" - in this context
"irredeemable" is not valid.


HTH, fatty.

 

You're incorrigible.

I know, but curiously that leaves me largely unmoved[1], allowing *lots*
of time to worry about your spelling.

Are you implying that there are some circumstances in which an MZ could
be held to be "not ugly"? Irredeemably it is, then.

[1] As does most of the collection detailed in the .sig, obviously.

 

it'd make a fairly attractive cube of crushed scrap.

if it makes you happy.
