The dark side

I finally bought myself an angle grinder today DDD

I reckon the ratbike is at least 1/2kg lighter after I chopped the bits
that hold the rear footpegs on. I wanted to take the lot off but that
would mean only having a 8" exhaust. OK, so I can get away with that but
I've discovered the collector's so rotten that I don't think it would
support the weight.

Lessons learnt:

1) Don't cut off what you think you need to cut off, do it gradually.
2) You can almost lose a hand when the disc is almost through what it's
cutting and bites.
3) It's bloody good fun[1]
4) Metal catched fire when it's hot.
5) I need to do buy some grinding discs.

[1] On the first page, in big, bold letters it says "We wish you a lot
of fun with your new tool". <BEG>

<Happy, contented sigh>

 

Heh. I got mine last week. Going out to attack some paving slabs in a bit

 

A good move.

It's a quick learning curve innit ;-)

Would Sir like to try a petreol disc cutter at 18" and 2500 rpm next time?

No, it merely looks like it as the crap burns away.

Sounds like a BGN saying...

I'd have a happy contented sigh if I had any of those Profiteroles you keep
promising and NEVER get around to sorting you cnut.

following:

Look, the burd only got back yesterday from being sick and yes, I did
forget. All I can do is ask tomorrow.

It's going to be a big fucking box, you know and I don't think I'm going
to have room in my freezer[1] to look after them.

I'm happy to get them for you but they'll be defrosted by the time they
get to Dartford[2].

[1] I could always chuck out the turkey I've had in there for nearly 3
years ;-)
[2] It's unlikely, but I *might* be able to get one of our depots round
your way to deliver them direct. Like I say, very unlikely but I can
ask.

 

One can collect if you call me during the daytime and I know where to meet
you mate.
Text me if you like when they are available and we can sort out the details
etc

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, One and Only belched forth and ejected the
following:

No probs. If you're up, it might be worth sending me a text tomorrow
morning at about 6.00-6.15 to remind me, she'll be there then.

following:

Oh, lesson 5):
Wear earplugs - Goggles are unnecessary because sunglasses work well

 

Get some 1mm cutting discs too. They're the dogs bollocks of a tihng, but
the slice through metal like nobody's business, so fingers are **** all.
..

Easily pleased. I just bought a 31,000rpm cutter (spiral, like a RotoZip
thing) to take over the jobs I usually use a Dremel for, but this fucker is
MUCH more grunty. (700 watts as opposed to about 90)

Fifteen fucking quid from Fuckus Doitall.
