I bought an edible motorcycle

I can lend you a cat or two if you want. Ming and Ivan love meeces,
they do.

 

Ours are quite partial to them too, as well as shrews, voles and
moles, all of which have made the occasional, usually very
short-lived, appearance in the house.

Oh heck, that's not nice. It's a good thing that none of the wires
shorted out though.

I guess you'd better check out any other wires in the garage area?

If you are re-terminating why not use the small diameter heatshrink rubber
from Maplins?
Excellent stuff, not too pricey and far superior in finish and insulation
than insulating tape.

BTW... When rewiring the cranes I work on at the relay blocks we encapsulate
the terminals in silicon mastic, it stops the meeces from eating the wires.
Cable noshing rodents aren't confined to bikes you know!

Sir needs a ferret

 

I have visions of black tape with the words "YOU'RE A ****" printed on
it...

I quite like it, pickled herring especially.

In the years when herring was abundant in the Minches, the barrels of
salt herring were stacked building-high on the quay in Stornoway. There
was a Russian buyer of salt herring who used to pick a barrel - insist
on (say) five layers from the top, two hundred barrels along and six
barrels in.

He'd have the lid off, work his hand in and extract a herring from the
depths, and scoff it.

If he was satisfied, he bought the whole stack.

I must confess to the Sheddi heresy that I'd far rather eat raw herring
or mackerel (or trout or salmon) than even the best pork pie or snake
and pigmy pudding.

Old Mrs Mac's steak and kidny pudding was a different matter, though.

Remind me in a week or so in case I forget: I'll see if I can get a bit
of a really effective poison - they don't get immunity from it.

Only a little bit mixed into the bait (I use something like lard,
oatmeal and cocoa powder)and especially in this weather you find the
buggers dead within inches of it. The poison upsets their body's heat
regulation, and they die of hypothermia.

Ming the Mouseyless?

 

I love all kinds of raw preserved fish.

 

Cool. I was thinking about ways and means to lay mitts on some
Brodifacoum, but soemthing really acute would be even better. I'll be
setting traps tomorrow and we'll see what they yield.

Funny thing is, the mouse (mice) had also been into Elly's 9R which is
alongside the Bandit but had done no damage there. Instead, there was
a cache of seeds under the pillion seat. Suzuki wiring is obviously
more tasty than the Kawasaki offering.

Further investigation of The Bandit revealed a nest of sorts inside
the end can - foam and padding materials forming a plug a few inches
in, and loads of seed husks lying uphill from the plug. Now that
certainly wasn't there a couple of weeks ago, because had there been a
kipping mouse in residence when I started the bike it would have had a
most rude awakening. I may have caught the little bugger before major
nibblings occurred, so now is the time to eradicate it/them.

 

You should try surstromming.

 

Thay are apparrently wellknown for chewing house electric wire
insulation... but I've never heard anyone come up with a decent theory
as to why... So what stimulates them to climb up inside a bike and
chew the wiring loom to pieces?

 

No, I've not tried it. I was told all about it when I was working out
there, and there was an offer onr of the folks in the office would bring
some in. There and then decided that stuff was going nowhere near my
digestive system.

 

Prolly trying to escape the furry urchin that owns the bike
;-)

 

It already does. In black.

 

Yum yum (not). Have you tried it then? I smelled it once, and nearly
puked. I'm sure I'd rather eat shit.
