  1. No pictures, but got two rides in this weekend, (was going to go again today, but my mom made me
    mulch her gardens instead... I was not a happy camper), and mmm that bike is nice. I'm still getting
    the hang of the timing, and the fork is still pretty sticky, and I need to play with the suspension
    a bit, but other than that, mmmmm. The bike definitely just wants to go fast - it seems to
    accelerate a lot faster tham my kaitai did, and likes to stay moving faster. Rolls sooooo smooth and
    fast, and almost silent -the rear hub is pretty trick. I did end up getting a little bit of oil on
    one set of pads - d'oh! - so I threw those on the rear. They just make an annoying groan while
    almost stopped, but are otherwise pretty quiet. Hopefully the oil will burn out of there eventually.

    No more pictures yet, I've been going to fast and having too much fun to take pictures. Riding again
    at 10 tomorrow morning, maybe I'll remember to bring the camera.

    Nice, wish you many hours of fun. Can't wait till you come to your senses and convert that to
    a rigid SS.

    Peace, Bill

    The mind serves properly as a window glass rather than as a reflector, that is, the mind should give
    an immediate view instead of an interpretation of the world.

    Now how do you suggest he convert a Blur into a rigid frame? I'm beginning to think you're a machine
    programmed to spit out the same tired old recording in any situation! Is there any bike that is
    better WITH gears?

    I would never fall so low as to try and make humour from an issue as serious and disgusting
    as incest.

    Rimmer quote in response to lack of Welsh on this NG:

    "Most of 'em are locked up for bestiality - Huw managed early release for blowing the jailor is all.
    Ain't that right dude?"

    not strictly incest, but then again, it might be......

    Geeze, can a guy not even try and cruelly lay a guilt trip on someone (especially that Wheeler
    preacher geezer!) without having someone else spoil it?!?!?!?!? Harrumph!

    I got no time for guilt, what a waste of time.
