  1. +1 :y: towe001, recognise! :P
  2. Funny, I'm a size 10... :P
  3. I'm no nerd, but everything Stu said! :y: We welcome all but photos of spandex! :D Hybrid thingy snapped the main swingarm bolt, need to make myself a new one sometime soon. :( A wise decision on the body armour! :y: A dirtbike rider mate of mine used to give flack to pushy riders about wearing armour, until I showed him a few YouTube clips of crashes. He now understands! :wink:
  4. Evan + going for a refill. :)
  5. Damn, I only have to out of bed by then. I should've only had one drink with dinner, though it's hard for me to say no to single malt. :D I do tend to avoid worknight drinking nowadays, I'm not even 30 & the body doesn't respond like it did when I was 20. Work was a struggle today, especially since it involved troubleshooting other peoples work without the benefit of pulling the place apart to solve it. I have the same response with Inner Circle/Bundy OP, except it's more immediate. UP, Red, 5 year old, all good. If I'm drinking OP, leave me the hell alone! :lol: Haha, thanks guys but there's greater believe me, you just have to dig a little. I can't take full credit, BIG props must go to a now-not-so-active-members wife, who was my 'wingwoman' for the night. I don't know what she said to talk me up, but $h1t, it must've been good! P.S - Yes, I'm back on the scotch again tonight, but no workies tomorrow! :dance: P.P.S - I'll be in bed before midnight, I'm a f**king Cinderella nowadays. Beats insomnia I guess.
  6. I've had the joy of being the guy who was legally parked, hit by another car & have them sue me for the damage to their car. F**k that got messy. :( The being called 'sir' when you're female justifies hanging up immediately. With that question/comment from them, it deserves a full-blown, expletive laden rant at them before hanging up! :yes:
  7. Cool, so the people who ride UP the hills as well instead of just down them are allowed in too. :P (That'll be my one & only downhiller joke, I swear!) I might just have to buy another set of wheels to mount dirt tyres on & come for a thrash one day! Awesome setups you've got there guys, full credit to the DH bikes, they take a helluva pounding & stop the rider from taking one too! :y: I'd give it a go, but I know I will do something stupid & serious injury will be the best possible outcome. :blush: There's some pics & info of bits & pieces I rebuilt my bike with on page 14 of my build thread, but here's a photo of it. 1996-ish Marin Nail FRS cross country frame with '98 Rock Shox Indy S front forks. Recently rebuilt/setup for tarmac use (living in the 'burbs...:glare:) Vuelta Zero Lite rims, some cheap smooth tyres (soon to be replaced with 'slicks') & lots of made-in-Thailand/China Shimano bits. I originally purchased it from a mate of dfunkt (recurring theme here? :hmm: ) who was getting into DH riding. It was setup as an off-road bike then, softer rear spring & some nice, chunky WTB Primal Raptor tyres. I grew up in Bacchus Marsh so there's not many places around there I didn't ride/crash on at some stage, or go driving on once I got my licence... :lol:
  8. :lolcry: I am now on a 4 day weekend, then 4 days of trade school, then a weekend, it's effectively a 10 day holiday from work! :)
  9. Please, for me, wear some safety glasses or even a pair of sunglasses when using this stuff (minimum - keep your face the heck out of the way!). It hurts enough getting it in a cut on your hand, nevermind the potential for loss of sight. Edit: Thanks for that video link altezzaclub, I'll be watching that before attacking BT's carby. :D
  10. Drinking on a work night = Bad. Not tonight, tomorrow morning, at about 6:15am.
  11. That was a long time between posts! :P I'm jealous on two fronts, 1) You can actually get a model car of your real car & 2) You have a very nice, clean looking Liberty. If my Hilux plan doesn't get the nod, one of these will. :yes:
  12. They were $24.95 each (I got two for $30 on sale pre-Xmas) from Aussie Disposals. I searched 'zapper racquet' on ebay but the ones that came up were all AA battery powered & no light. I can swing past an AD store to see if they still have them, I go past one to/from work. PM me if interested. :)
  13. WMMH - This: Handheld bug zapper, turn on, press button, wave at insect & ZAP! Built in rechargable battery & light for getting those f**king mozzies without getting out of bed. This seriously turns killing flying insects into a sport! :D
  14. That & you know you still want a Corolla again! :P
  15. I had to Google that, never heard of it. I had to laugh when I read the 'shared fictional universe' description, probably the place this dude's living in. :yes: :y:
  16. :blinks: This sounds very familiar...my housemate is planning on a 5E-FZE build, I picked his brains about it & what he knows he found on Google. :laff: Go for it! :y:
  17. Normally I wouldn't.....but for a Rollaclub Moderator/Senior Member....what the hell! :laff: Consider it done. :yes: I'm hoping this doesn't have the same backlash as making 'joke' bomb threats at an airport... :lol: Edit: Pick a language, any language! Hint: Irish. :wink:
  18. Is it just me that finds it ironic the next song playing on the radio in the video was "Only the good die young?" :blinks: Edit: Nice pics, looks like it was a good day out! :yes:
  19. :'( I'd say **** ***, but you've probably earnt it! :P
  20. Man, it's good to see the good humans can do when they put their minds to it. :y: Such a pity it's usually when other minds have been put towards evil. :(
  21. Progress pics, needs a few more tweaks (read: hammer taps) before I weld up the cuts I made to relieve stress I created. I'm not the greatest panel beater but I think it's better than what it was, good enough for me. :D
  22. A few carefully placed cuts & much bashing with various hammers later, things are looking better. Giving my neighbours the courtesy of finishing up for now & continuing on in the morning. :guiness:
  23. Good point, fair call. :)
  24. Please do. :yes: Minimum post/reputation count before being able to post a new topic in For Sale areas?
