Im shopping a drunk driver

...and Lesley, she gets a bit. But she's from Liverpool, tends to rise to
the bait and come over a holier than thou.

Charders gets defended, but I'm not completely sure why, but I have an
idea.

 

No, you know I don't think he has.

Not at all. In fact when it comes to opportunities and such like I'd
say I had plenty to choose from and it has only been a couple of
minutes.

 

I find her tedious and feeble-minded.

We've been over this.

The smiley - though I despise them - would seem to indicate that it was
a joke, admittedly, a fairly crap one.

 

You might want to go and look at who Hushmail are.

 

Damn, advanced spam filters. Bunch of hypocrites.

 

Er, they provide a service, they're not responsible for the people who
send out the spam.

In fact, it's probably a forged address.

 

Er, yes. I know.
The bastards are using Hushmail to filter out spam for themselves, while
they are sending loads of it out.

Nah, it's from their website:

I've read about this. Did they have an ABS version? or perhaps they all
were. IIRC it was a record rate of retardation, does it still stand.

 

Not everyone is going to believe this

 

There are versions with and without ABS. It was probably the ABS version
they were testing here:
http://www.mts.net/~neelin/motorcycle/biblio.html about halfway down the
page under heading "Stop Action--Yesterday's today's and tomorrow's brakes".
The closest I've seen to this (for 60-0) is 107 feet from a Triumph Speed
Triple.
Mined ewe, if you saw the size of the disk and caliper, then you'd
understand why

 

So I see.

If you want any NDT (non-destructive testing) doing on various bike bits,
then let me know.
i.e. Radiography, Ultrasonics, Magnetic Particle Inspection, Dye Penetrant
Inspection, Eddy Current Inspection.
All the big car teams have this done

 

Well BMW are rumoured to be working on a high power sportsbike with a
Hossack or R1150 type front end. Wonder if they will do something
interesting.

What is the GTS engine again, can't remember. R1 or Thundercat.
Is it possible to get spares for them at all?

 

I've heard about that.

It's an FZR1000 engine, detu^H^Hretuned because it doesn't have the EXUP
valve, but does have FI and a cat. convertor.
Any spares I've ordered (not much admittedly), have arrived after 2 days.

 

borm?

 

I parsed that as "mis-shaped" and was about to get abusive. Then I
remembered where I was.

 

I'm sorry guys, call me an old spoilsport, a miserable b*stard or i'm
taking this completely out of context, but I can't see any humour in
this. The only thing my stay in hospital did was reinforce my view
that there's no reason for anyone to become a nurse.

They have to clear up little 'accidents' like this, wipe peoples
arses, take abuse and violence from patients, for a pittance of a wage
and no thanks.

Why do it ?

Paul.

 

Because the auxulliary brain dead ones can act as dictators when no one
in authority is around?

Fucked if I know why they do it. Fucked if I care either; they do it
because they get paid to do it.

And the "no thanks" bit is a load of bollocks. They get plenty of
thanks. No one's ever thanked me for designing a handover algorithm, a
numbering structure or a test process.

I'm not saying their job is a bed of roses, it isn't and I wouldn't do
it.

Doesn't stop me finding the stories listed funny though.

 

To be honest, Des, I don't think I have ever read any serious
criticism of the Bandit 12 on uk.r.m. Yes, it is generally
acknowledged that they could do with some assistance in the
going-round-corners-at-speed department, as the stock suspension is a
bit soggy at best. The biggest point of criticism has always been the
tank range which is a bit sad at 100 miles (160km, to save you
decimalising it) - but that is no worse than several other bikes, such
as the Firestorm or Hornet 900.

Bear was (is) a big fan of the B12, due to its "stomp" and short
wheelbase, which make wheelies compulsory. I certainly loved mine to
bits, just for its grin factor and the way it made me feel to ride it.
I have never seen Bear criticise the B12 - and if I had, be assured
that I would have taken him to task on it.

The Bandit 600, OTOH ...
