    Fishing for the death threat is cheating IMHO. Has to come of its own
    volition.

  5. When you answered my earlier posting.

    OK, let's have another quote:

    I said: "If they let water *in*, they will let oil *out*, fuckwit."

    And you said"

    "it still happens especily if the bike has been parked up for a long
    time"

    And Lozzo said:

    "Listen fuckwit, if your seals fail they leak, your brakes (note
    spelling) fail and you end up being a trucks bonnet ornament, even if
    you have new tyres (note spelling)."

    And you said: "ok what if they fail just enough to let water in and
    carode the pistons"

    Are you terminally thick? Did your mother bonk her older brother and
    produce a ten-fingered mong with an atrophied brain? Are you
    congentially incapable of remembering what you posted before? Are you,
    in fact, amazingly ignorant, desperately retarded, and frantically
    trying to to redeem yourself while digging yorself an ever-deeper hole?

    Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes and once again yes.

  7. Hey, mong, I've already posted your quotes.

    Now, by my reckoning you've dug a hole to equal the De Beers mine in
    depth and you've just asked for nuclear explosives to go that extra mile
    further down.

  8. Wrong again. Dyslexic mumbling by a mong. The sort of thing one hears in
    any gutter on any Saturday night.

    (The Older Gentleman) struggled
    to ejaculate:
    Seems so. Still, have you noticed that the spelling has improved this
    evening? We've not been trolled, have we?

    Simes - are you there?

  12. I still never said "not letting fluid out"

  13. The only mumbling I here is the sound of an old man trying to kick start his
    BSA out side the Railway tavern when he forgot to prime his carbs after a to
    much Bass

    You seem to be going for some sort of prize, although to be fair TOG
    and loz have done a good job of helping you dig in. The point you're
    missing, although it's been stated earlier, is this:

    If there's any leakage at all, the high-pressure fluid in the caliper
    will leak out _much_ more readily than water would just seep in of its
    own accord. So it's impossible that the latter could occur without the
    further reaching the stage of 'no brakes' first.

    AFAIK, several things. It's one of those terms that mean what the
    user wants it to mean at the time. We prefer to use "frogging" here,
    I believe.

    What a thread!

    Speaking of vegtables .. my beloved has come up with such tasty
    tomatoes this year, and hefty cucumbers too.

    On a tangent, I have to replace my brakes lines and service the
    calipers (see sig) when I have finished the patio.

    Does this thread carry all the info I need?

    There bain't be no substitute for a beloved with a hefty cucumber ...
    More than sufficient. Treat it like you would a Haynes BoL and take a
    large pinch of salt or two when required, or until you have finished
    the course. Come back and see me in a few days.

    OTOH, it's a Beemer. Don't bother doing the brakes as it will
    undoubtedly expire mechanically before you get up enough speed to need
    the brakes.
