  1. What size Evo did you get Darryl, give us a first impression report when you get a chance. What bought on the change back to 2T.
  2. A Northern Territory farm hand (An Aboriginal) radios back to the farm manager. 'Boss, I gotta helluva problem here. I hit a pig with the Ute. The pig's OK, but he's stuck in the bull bars at the front of my Ute And is wriggling and squealing so much I can't get him out.' The manager says,'Ok, there's a ....303Rifle behind the seat. Take it; shoot the pig in the head and you'll be able to remove him.' Five minutes later the farm hand calls back, 'I did what you said Boss. Took the 303, shot the pig in the head and removed him from the Bull-bars. No problem there, but I still can't go on'. 'Now what's the problem?' raged the Manager. 'Well boss, it's his motorbike. The flashing blue light is stuck Under the right-front wheel arch.' You there Boss?'
  3. My Keihen 28 that came standard on the Raga sits in my cupboard too. My OKO 26 flatslide that I put lots of time and effort into making my engine smoooooth running and gentle off the bottom sits in my cupboard as well, again to aggresive down low. Your dellorto 26 phbl (Neo) is the carb I much prefer, along with the addition of the standard 250 induction manifold ( different to the standard Raga) and a 34 pilot, needle clip second from top, fuel screw nearly 2 out, has my motor sweet as. Fitted a set of boysens and the motor ran sweeter on idle but introduced aggression that I found unsettling for my riding. Lots of postings on this subject as each rider looks for different motor responces for their own style of riding I guess.
  4. Had a similar problem. The inner throttle cable where it is attached to the round lug the fits into the throttle tube had a single broken strand. Easy to check.
  5. Can anyone give me a lead to where I can source this chain lube please.
  6. From The London Times: A Well-Planned Retirement Outside England 's Bristol Zoo there is a parking lot for 150 cars and 8 buses. For 25 years, its parking fees were managed by a very pleasant attendant. The fees were for cars ($1.40), for buses (about $7). Then, one day, after 25 solid years of never missing a day of work, he just didn't show up; so the Zoo Management called the City Council and asked it to send them another parking agent. The Council did some research and replied that the parking lot was the Zoo's own responsibility. The Zoo advised the Council that the attendant was a City employee. The City Council responded that the lot attendant had never been on the City payroll. Meanwhile, sitting in his villa somewhere on the coast of Spain or France or Italy ... is a man who'd apparently had a ticket machine installed completely on his own and then had simply begun to show up every day, commencing to collect and keep the parking fees, estimated at about $560 per day -- for 25 years. Assuming 7 days a week, this amounts to just over $7 million dollars ... and no one even knows his name.
  7. A guy walks into his doctor's office and says, "Ddddoc, I've bbbeen sssttttuttering ffor yyears and III'm tired of it. Ccccan yyyou hehehelp mmme???" The doc says, "Well, I'll have to examine you first before I can answer you." The doc examines him and says, "Well, I'm pretty sure that I know what the problem is." The guy asks, "wwwell wwwhat is it, ddoc?" The doc says,"It's your penis. It's about about 18 inches long and all of the down pressure is putting a strain on your vocal chords." The guy asks, "Wwwhat ccan wwe ddo about it?" The doc replies, "Well, I can cut it off and transplant a shorter one. I can guarantee that the operation will cure your stuttering." The guy says, "Dddo it!" The guy has the operation and about four weeks later he comes back to the doctor's office and says, "Thanks Doc. You've solved my problem and I don't stutter any more but I've only had sex once in the past month. My wife doesn't enjoy it any more. I cannot satisfy her. She liked my long penis. I don't care if I have to stutter, I want you to put my long one back one!" The doc replies, "Nnnnope. A ddddeal's a ddddeal!"
  8. sorrel is a herb....I new that Artichoke is a thistle...I had to look that one up.
  9. A quiz for people who know everything! There are only nine questions. This is a quiz for people who know everything! I found out in a hurry that I didn't. These are not trick questions. They are straight questions with straight answers. 1. Name the one sport in which neither the spectators nor the participants know the score or the leader until the contest ends. 2. What famous North American landmark is constantly moving backward? 3. Of all vegetables, only two can live to produce on their own for several growing seasons. All other vegetables must be replanted every year. What are the only two perennial vegetables? 4. What fruit has its seeds on the outside? 5. In many liquor stores, you can buy pear brandy, with a real pear inside the bottle.. The pear is whole and ripe, and the bottle is genuine; it hasn't been cut in any way. How did the pear get inside the bottle? 6. Only three words in standard English begin with the letters ' dw' and they are all common words. Name two of them. 7. There are 14 punctuation marks in English grammar. Can you name at least half of them? 8. Name the only vegetable or fruit that is never sold frozen, canned, processed, cooked, or in any other form except fresh. 9. Name 6 or more things that you can wear on your feet beginning with the letter 'S.' Answers To Quiz: 1... The one sport in which neither the spectators nor the participants know the score or the leader until the contest ends: Boxing. 2. North American landmark constantly moving backward: Niagara Falls . (The rim is worn down about two and a half feet each year because of the millions of gallons of water that rush over it every minute.) 3. Only two vegetables that can live to produce on their own for several growing seasons: Asparagus and rhubarb. 4. The fruit with its seeds on the outside: Strawberry. 5. How did the pear get inside the brandy bottle? It grew inside the bottle. The bottles are placed over pear buds when they are small, and are wired in place on the tree. The bottle is left in place for the entire growing season. When the pears are ripe, they are snipped off at the stems. 6. Three English words beginning with dw: Dwarf, dwell and dwindle... 7. Fourteen punctuation marks in English grammar: Period, comma, colon, semicolon, dash, hyphen, apostrophe,question mark, exclamation point, quotation mark, brackets, parenthesis, braces, and ellipses. 8. The only vegetable or fruit never sold frozen, canned, processed, cooked, or in any other form but fresh: Lettuce. 9. Six or more things you can wear on your feet beginning with 'S': Shoes, socks, sandals, sneakers, slippers, skis, skates, snowshoes, stockings, stilts. Just don't send it back to me. I've already flunked it once!
  10. This morning I went down to sign up my Dog at CentreLink. At first the lady said, "Dogs are not eligible to draw welfare payments". So I explained to her that my dog is black, unemployed, lazy, can't speak English and has no frigging clue who his dad is. So she looked in her policy book to see what it takes to qualify. My dog gets his first payment Thursday. Damn, this is a great country.
  11. Im not sure what brand fork the Evo has on a 2010.... I had what sounds like the clunking noise you describe on my 2008 Raga. A call to the Gas Gas man confirmed what Jon suspects. A shim in the inner cartridge on the Marzocchi breaks causing this problem. Have since found it is happening with 2009 and 2010 Marzocchi. One fellow has replaced three times and the firm doing the repair are now using a spring instead of the original type metal shim.
  12. What brand forks are in evo ?
  13. An Arabic family were considering putting their grandfather Abdullah into a nursing home. But as all the Arabic facilities were completely full they had to put him in an Australian home. After a few weeks in the Australian facility, they came to visit grandpa Abdullah ... How do you like it here? asks the grandson. It's Great! Everyone here is so courteous and respectful says grandpa ... We're so happy for you. We were worried that this was the wrong place for you. You know, since you are a little different from everyone else ... Oh no! Let me tell you about how respectful they treat the residents says Abdullah with a big smile .. There's a musician in here... he's 85 years old. He hasn't played the violin in 20 years and everyone still calls him ... 'The Maestro' There is a judge in here ... he's 95 years old. He hasn't been on the bench in 30 years and everyone still calls him ... 'Your Honor' There's a dentist here ... he's 90 years old who hasn't fixed a tooth for 25 years and everyone still calls him ... 'The Doctor' As for me ...I haven't had sex for 35 years and they still call me ... The F #% king Arab ' '
  14. Two dwarfs go into a bar, where they pick up two 'working girls' and take them to their separate hotel rooms. The first dwarf, however, is unable to get an erection. His depression is made worse by the fact that, from the next room, he hears his friend shouting out cries of 'Here I come again! ONE, TWO, THREE.... UGH!' Here I come again! ONE, TWO, THREE.... UGH!' Here I come again! ONE, TWO, THREE... UGH!'... ALL NIGHT LONG. In the morning, the second dwarf asks the first, 'How did it go?' The first mutters, 'It was Embarrassing... I just couldn't get an erection.' The second dwarf shook his head. 'You think that's embarrassing? I couldn't get up onto the bed.'

  19. Life in the Australian Army... Text of a letter from a kid from Eromanga to Mum and Dad. (For Those of you not in the know, Eromanga is a small town, west of Quilpie in the far south west of Queensland Australia.) Dear Mum & Dad, I am well. Hope youse are too. Tell me big brothers Doug and Phil that the Army is better than workin' on the farm - tell them to get in bloody quick smart before the jobs are all gone! I wuz a bit slow in settling down at first, because ya don't hafta get outta bed until 6am. But I like sleeping in now, cuz all ya gotta do before brekky is make ya bed and shine ya boots and clean ya uniform. No bloody cows to milk, no calves to feed, no feed to stack - nothin'!! Ya haz gotta shower though, but its not so bad, coz there's lotsa hot water and even a light to see what ya doing! At brekky ya get cereal, fruit and eggs but there's no kangaroo steaks or possum stew like wot Mum makes. You don't get fed again until noon and by that time all the city boys are buggered because we've been on a 'route march' - geez its only just like walking to the windmill in the back paddock!! This one will kill me brothers Doug and Phil with laughter. I keep getting medals for shootin' - dunno why. The bullseye is as big as a bloody possum's bum and it don't move and it's not firing back at ya like the Johnsons did when our big scrubber bull got into their prize cows before the Ekka last year! All ya gotta do is make yourself comfortable and hit the target - it's a piece of cake!! You don't even load your own cartridges, they comes in little boxes, and ya don't have to steady yourself against the rollbar of the roo shooting truck when you reload! Sometimes ya gotta wrestle with the city boys and I gotta be real careful coz they break easy - it's not like fighting with Doug and Phil and Jack and Boori and Steve and Muzza all at once like we do at home after the muster. Turns out I'm not a bad boxer either and it looks like I'm the best the platoon's got, and I've only been beaten by this one bloke from the Engineers - he's 6 foot 5 and 15 stone and three pick handles across the shoulders and as ya know I'm only 5 foot 7 and eight stone wringin' wet, but I fought him till the other blokes carried me off to the boozer. I can't complain about the Army - tell the boys to get in quick before word gets around how bloody good it is. Your loving daughter, Sheila
