Our Spirit of Sunshine friends are herewith entitled to at least there own "red letter day," as well as citations for irreverence, incorrigibility, music, travel to the other side of our globe, noteworthy consumption of quality and quantity of drams drunk, and, lets face it, I just wanted to scribble something on your 200th page to denote my utter lack of time slips.

Cheers,

Is it true that it doesn't have to be relevant to be on Page 200?

Not only true but rather obvious.  Wayno

What the heck, seems like the same people read it and comment on it daily, besides it's a good read.

Can you expand on this? I know Jon is building a cycle.............

Today is Melbourne cup day, a 6 million dollar 2 mile race for stayers.....holiday today, and yesterday....that means  four days in a row, rather than spend some leisure time with my beloved I elected to swap the motor in my ute. It isn't urgent, but being off the road the ute has to be parked in the driveway, when it doesn't run AND i have a motor trans in the way it gets pretty annoying

A friend gave me a motor trans combo the same as what is in it, "bewdy" I thought I won't even have to swap the sump....

After I'd got up and down off the ground three hundred times(yes, doing it in the driveway as a certain bellytank is in the shed) It occurred to me that although it was a "rear" sump that maybe it wasn't the "right" ..."rear" sump.....putting a sump and timing cover gaskets along with a rear main on a Holden "red" straight six is easy on a full dismantle.....with the timing cover on and the motor hanging rather than on an engine stand makes it a sketchy job at the best of times..... that is all I am going to say about that.

Just did a benefit gig outside the Maribyrnong Immigration Detention Centre on a 10 minute call, thanks Dan, did the same on Sunday with twelve hours notice and played "S-s-s-ssingle bed" on the radio.......

Time to go to the pub and have my one punt of the year, to the Organ Failure Lounge at the Brawlbrook Hotel in Braybrook.


BTW: I can't see any logic in the rule change for the bike liners, none.

It's the jobs like that – the ones that circumstances require you to do in the most compromised manner – that drive me up a wall.  And yet, the tasks need to be accomplished.

This one falls clearly into that twilight zone – that grey area - that exists between ones ambitions and abilities, and ones common sense.

Can open – worms everywhere – along with what I'm sure are a bunch of inquisitive neighbor kids standing around, wondering what you're doing.

I once did a starter refit on my first MGB in 6 inches of snow in the parking lot of the apartment I lived in.  I'd been riding the bike up until the day before – the snow caught many of us by surprise.  No jack stands, inadequate tools, frozen fingers, grime all over the engine and bay.  I went inside to put on a pot of coffee and came out to find the snow plowing service had pushed half the snow in the parking lot directly in front of what the driver thought was an abandoned car.

Enjoy your holiday, mate.

  Rev'd the buggery out of it, nearly blew the engine. Funniest thing I've ever heard in Straliar. Hope it makes page 200 LOL

Not only if your building, even if you own one now.
There is no Grandfather clause, so there is no streamliner bikes currently legal.
Yes; I am going to finish my bike.
No; this is not 100% why I've not been doing much.
I will run somewhere.

I didn't send you an email, or mention it on your thread for reasons of diplomacy. You and Ross, and every other owner have every reason to be very annoyed. Has anyone been seriously injured by a structural failure in a liner due to the tubing in a roll cage yielding?
