Book about tips and tricks for maintenance?

They are obviously not rated, but you can be sure it will burn away if you
have a dead short somewhere. Let's face it, a bit of tin foil from a
cigarette packet is going to melt long before your wiring does. I would
guess 30 amps will blow it up. Any Mega-rider should have known that.

OK, here's how you do the tinfoil routine.

Put in a bit of foil, put your finger on it, turn on circuit, if foil starts
getting
hot, turn off circuit, add more foil, turn on circuit again, repeat adding
foil
until foil merely gets warm. Then, turn on the circuit and put your finger
on the wires going to the foil. If the wires start heating up, then remove
foil and call a tow truck.

Wow, he musta tried to educate al-qaida too, otherwise he wouldn't be able
to make that claim as it would be untrue!

Or Samson, at any rate...

 

I always know what's wrong before I replace a fuse (let alone use
ciggarette paper).

You know very well it was the whole Spamming to noobs that made us so pissed
off, or maybe you don't... are you really that thick or are you just
pretending to be?

Spam will normally be ignored unless it's repeated, but when it turns into a
series of threads that manages to make a large portion of the newsgroup
threads part of your NZMSC spamming do you really find it so surprising that
people were _mega_ pissed off!

Have a look at the sig people, is this the sig of a person with anything
even close to a normal sized ego? If only it was true... how about
"grandstanding without a clue for 35 years"

That seems _much_ closer.

You seem a little tense mate - a coopers perhaps?

Shite web site too. One article extolling the virtues of dismounting
from your bike while refueling[1] finishes:

"In other words, if you fill your bike while sitting on it and a large
fire results, you could be in major trouble!

Another safety aspect of filling your bike while sitting on it, other
than the fire problem, is a more, er, male one.

Allan Kirk of the NZMSC once let the tank overflow as he sat on the
bike filling it. Girlfriend was on the back.

The petrol sloshed down the tank ridge and onto his trousers - he rode
in jeans in those days - and when it met his testicles there was a
very painful time had (a) by him and (b) by his girlfriend who thought
all her recreation that evening was in dire jeopardy.

He says that, since then, he has always filled the tank standing
beside the bike... "

I mean, what a twat, eh? And the rest of it is just plain bollocks on
so many levels it's not worth arguing it.

Seems like the worst sort of Safety Nazi, from what I can tell.

[1] What a fucking stupid idea - how can you slosh the tank around to
get the maximum fuel in?

I agree wholeheartedly (except the bit about Megawanker having [a] A
girlfriend and Testicles... )

 

maybe his missus was squeezing the handle for him? payback for early
withdrawls?

 

<nods>

And this...

"The NZMSC <snip>
It was responsible for the introduction of daytime headlight use in New
Zealand,"

Does he mean compulsory use, or what. If so, the man's a ****.

 

Looks like the **** on the home page isn't wearing gloves. Better sort
that.

 

Aye, it is. <grin>

Lovely sunny day, high of 17C, but I can't go for a ride today, 'cos I'm
going out on the boat instead.

Hey come on Cam, I had to put a jumper (sweater for the seppos) on under
my jacket on Monday, it was a bit cold.

JL
(refusing to acknowledge that bloody double points weekend meant I was
only toddling off to the coffee shop :-(

 

I rode to work yesterday. Cold in the morning 6ºC at 6am, 21ºC at 2pm. The
farmers are panicking, hasn't rained for a month. We had our coldest day in
recorded history two winters ago. It got down to 0.0ºC. Brrrr!

Who has spent a winter in Ohio and knows about cold.

 

Mate, when your BSAs lights go off in the middle of nowhere in the dark and
all you've got with you is a screwdriver and a packet of fags. And you know
that the most common cause of fuse failure (probably 90%) is fatigue caused
by vibration, you'll be wrapping your fuse in foil. (It also helps to keep
the bad people away).

The old glass 3AG fuses are now almost a thing of the past, but how many
times have you blown one and just replaced it?

Theo

 

We tried to tell you, didn't we.

I resemble that remark! ;-]

Perhaps you might like to tell the truth once in your life.
Or perhaps you just have the average imbecile's short memory.

The poster in question made some extremely nasty comments not
about me, but about my family who he had no knowledge of
whatsoever.

Any wanker (including you) can pick on me and I'll give them
as good as they give.

But NO ONE will make extremely nasty remarks about my family
and expect me to sit back and do nothing about it.

Of course, you are obviously ignorant and arrogant enough to
accept that as suitable behaviour since you are obviously
really keen to get into any stoush you can, as long as its
lots of people against one person, of course.

 

Oh I just *love* people who do nothing for society except
mutually-masturbate on motorcycle newsgroups, yet who attack
anyone who is actually trying to do something (and from the
awards and commendations etc he gets seems to be succeeding).

I've noted the derision about the advice on the website not
to sit on the bike while refuelling the bike.

Please, feel free to sit on your bike while filling the tank.
With luck, the inevitable spills will see you and your mates
unable to father any kids and make the world a much better
place.

I always fill mine to the brim, because I ride fast enough for the fuel
to be used before it can spill out or expand.
