Re: Buying online - basic contract law

So..... is it likely in that 215K prior to you owning it someone actually replaced the brake pads with OEM replacements? :? I should expect it would have been through dozens of sets of pads Kiwi.? However the vented discs themselves measured around 24.3mm thick & had a pronounced lip on the out...

Re: Charging issues have returned

Not all of it, lean the bike up against a wall with some cushions. 20 degrees should do it and put a bucket under the generator cover. The is a coolant hose connection that is in the way and makes it a right PITA to remove the cover, and I did read before I did the job the first time you needed to ...

Re: Buying online - basic contract law

240,000 miles from a set of brake discs is pretty impressive. Perhaps we've find out why you crash (devil) I'm tempting fate by replying with this, but I've never had a crash in my ( or any) van. I mostly save my crashing for two wheels. ;) Fwiw I can't even take credit for the longevity of the OEM...

Cheers for the offer mate, but if I come over I'd want to do a bit of time in the UK too, and Jess would be in tow so I'd look at hiring something for the duration.

Re: V4 140kg 2 stroke anyone?

What's a "kg"....other than a large amount of powdered fun in small baggies??? You really haven't got the hang of this google thing have you? Or as I more likely suspect you are taking the piss because no one could really be as ignorant as you make out to be. But just in case 2.2 lb = 1 kg.

Kiwi has over 18 months to save up for it (giggle) Don't laugh, I'd be pretty keen to try and make that. I'm hopefully doing a trip to the States this year to see my sister and her family, but IOM is definitely on my next 5 years hit list. I'm moving positions at work in the next couple of months b...

He uses it for a track days so it must handle pretty well. He didn't really modify the frame or suspension at all so it should handle like an R6.

"Sorry Jess, I know you've not seen me for a few weeks, and I have really missed you, but I've got to hit some pokestops" :D I'll be hitting something, but it won't be pokestops! (devil) Shes far more into the game than I am anyways. I'm just glad there is nothing that spans near my house.

None that I've seen You can do multiple transfers now. They've changed the graphics a little bit when you power up a Pokémon. There is supposed to be a big announcement due though about Gen2 Pokémon.

You don't need to explain yourself to me Kiwi... :) It sounds like you're a great dad and your setup (while unconventional) sounds like a pretty awesome compromise!
