Ebayers be aware

Heh. Fair enough. It seems they are more efficient that I realised. Good old
Jap electrics eh...
The one time the battery on my 550 was that flat, bearing in mind that it
has a field coil, I never even tried to see if it would fire up and just
pinched the battery from the CB200 whilst I put it`s own battery on charge.

 

Yeah, and this thread has gone a bit off-topic. You know quite well
we're referring to flat batteries here.

You said Jap bikes don't start as easily wiv flatties as Brit ones.
Examples were given where they do. You then changed that to "points
ignition" Jap bikes. Examples were given where they do.

True - but you wre the one who made the assertion.

Gissa valid email addie then.

 

You little troll, you.

 

Indeed. Oh, and that's "ignoramus", ignoramus ;-)

 

Finally sold for around 200 quid.

Extremely rare though. How much would a pair of Stan Stevens tuned RD400
aircooled barrels fetch I wonder.

 

I used to rotate batteries between the 400, the Jawa combo, and
something else I had at the time which had the same size battery[1].
IIRC, there was only one decent battery between all three bikes: the
other two were more or less scrap.

[1] I remember! The 400 Four I flogged to Ace.[2]
[2] Oops.....

 

Yes, but not responding is likely to get you arrested.

Unlikely.

 

**** all, if one of his apprentices had been at them.

A set of Fahron water-cooled ones, now.......

It was an example of the different ways in which different types of bikes
are more or less reliable. And what I said about Magneto sparked bikes
still holds true, whether we are talking about points ignition or
electronic.

Why, you worried the men in Stolen Black Helicopters are watching?

Replace spamtrap with rog

Details?

 

lol

 

Whats the point in having them as an anti terrorist measure then?

 

We cut up our loyalty cards after Tesco sent us a "new baby" package, 3
months into Martine's pregnacy, though we hadn't actively done anything
to inform them of her condition. We could only assume that the earlier
purchase of a pregnancy test kit, and the subsequent non-purchase of
monthly supplies, triggered an event in their marketing system.

 

When the terrorists go to scam their benefits a newly homed assylum-
seeker (that now works at the post office) can catch them in the act and
demand they to complete a form saying where the plutonium is.

Isn't it obvious?

 

It's impressive but did raise an irrational reaction about being
monitored.

 

Bugger all.

I think they're a good idea from this point of view...

....I hate having to carry several credit/debit cards, driving licence,
occasionally passport etc in order to do things. Having one card that
did all of that would be great IMO.

I'm not that concerned about the privacy aspect as it's information
that can easily be obtained about me anyway.

 

You've got to admit though, it's bloody clever.

 

Heh, I did say irrational. The biggest danger was that I might buy
stuff because "it was a bargain".

 

riccip secured a place in history by writing:

Selling your own stuff on eBay does not constitute running a business,
however much of it you do.

 

Why does anyone "have to accept this"? Do your customers "have to
accep"t a K2A loyalty card and lots of unsolicited crap from your
business? I doubt it somehow.

From what I can recall you telling me you like to do the old personal
touch with your customers - either current or prospective ones. You know
a bit like your mum's local butcher.

No it isn't. One is based on a personal face to face relationship built
up over time and is recognition of customer loyalty.

The other is someone (or more pertinently a massive computer) doing
complex analysis on what you buy and then using the results for a whole
pile of purposes - most of which the recipient is unaware of, has
consented to or even agrees with.

Guess who doesn't have any form of supermarket loyalty card.
