    Is the opposition product, www.wd40.com doesn't list anything,
    tho I'm _sure_ I remember using something called "WD40 long
    life"...

  2. Is this a candidate for the FAQ, as the answer to "How do I instantly
    shrivel up much of the empathy people on the group might've come to feel for
    me over time?"

    ....you now gonna tell us you have a big dick and you can **** for hours,
    too?

    It's already in the FAQ, under "How to spot a TROLL!"
    Wrong newsgroup ... in here, people'd ask why he wasn't riding ...

    I was having a few beers with the bro-in-law at a pub called "The York",
    near Lilydale in Melbourne's outer east, a few Saturdays ago (after the
    tunnel protest ride, actually). A group of hogs rocked up. Outlaws MC.
    Just great, I thought. Anyway, didn't really have much to fear. Half of
    them probably would've had coronaries if they'd got into a brawl.
    Whatever, they had a few ales and left. It was afterwards that was
    interesting. I didn't know that Harleys, or their riders, could do tyre
    smoking Valentino Rossi style donuts. Bloody impressive.

    Even more impressive was the chap riding with them who was on an ancient
    GPZ1100. Not what he was doing. Just that he was riding WITH them....

    ObAusMoto: Must have been stuck in third ...

    Actually, I suspect that the stock Hogleys are so choked by the
    exhausts, etc in order to pass ADR that they meet the power-to-weight?
    But when did you ever see a stock Harley?

    $1M decisions with other people's money are easy, it's the $100 decisions
    with your own money that're hard.

    On a Harley ride day, wheeled out of the back of the Harley van.

  8. Why, there must be a million answers to that question, Theo... like:

    -take over the graphic design studio your olds bled from their cuticles to
    build up to a point where it can operate on autopilot, giving yourself a job
    title like "director of existing business".
    -Focus on applying at work a variation of the techniques which used to
    schmooze the g-strings off the girls in highschool
    -Work in a the-house-always-wins industry, such as investment banking, real
    estate, superannuation funds management...

    But didn't this all start with him explaining he had bought a limited

    Isn't that saying the same thing? ;-)

  10. (scratches head) An investment? Is that how you read it? I kinda thought he
    just fell for the "Anniversary Model" marketing[1] (chortle), such as what
    happens whenever Ducati release one of those limited runs of only 15,000
    bikes in factory racebike-replica livery, to commemorate that year's
    sponsors...
    I dunno... saying you got a big dick and you can **** for hours is a fairly
    proletarian statement to make. It's one of those great neutralisers of the
    "I've got money/power/Harbour views" boast...
    "Well, shit. **** of a lot it does you when you can't please the ladies."
    Check-faken-mate. What do you do when that one comes out?
    "Oh, but... but... I got 'em lining up, too. They just can't get enough of
    the leather seats of my Mercedes..."
    (insert derisive, "yeah, sure, mate" looks here)



    [1] Although, how often is buying a brand-new Harley_not_a case of falling
    for the marketing? :)

    I smile sweetly, and explain I have been married (to the same lady) for
    some 28 years (this week!) and I ain't paid enough to try and please
    other ladies.


    Fair goes here! H-D's might not be to your taste. They are not even
    to my taste, but, following Pete's trike down from Central Mangrove to
    Wiseman's Ferry, you get to thinking..... :)

    What? You earn almost $15,000 a week and working a few extra or fewer hours
    will make a difference to your income?

    Yeah, I realise now that that comment doesn't paint me in the most
    favourable light, and I apologise for bringing it up - I usually don't.

    Not that I've had much time to build up empathy with the people on this
    group, as I'm a noob who's only involvement so far is to ask stupid
    questions that are obvious to you all.

    That said, I've always received and am grateful for the help you all have
    given me, despite the few fuckwits that lurk here. I also realise that my
    comments in the previous post, despite their veracity, may label me amongst
    them, and that's just something I'll have work to overcome with you guys.

    Again, my apologies.

    Not good enough. We'll have to roshambo you before we let you have a say
    here. It's not as if just anyone can have an opinion, after all, especially
    someone who works hard and makes good money. (Unless you live in a paper
    bag on the freeway).

    The real problem is that your preferred bike has more letters than
    horsepower.

    Well, I did say Anniversary Edition, actually. I realise it's marketing
    hype, but it's marketing hype that appeals to me for some reason. I've
    always wanted a Harley, and the anniversary models give me a warm fuzzy
    feeling.

    I did say I bought it as an investment, and I'm quite obviously full of
    crap - I bought it to ride it (eventually). The investment comment was
    really just an internal justification for buying it whilst being unable to
    legally ride it

    Well, I don't actually get paid over-time, I was just trying to make a
    point. Ie that the warehousing cost doesn't really bother me.

    a new Mini Moke.
