Trivia .....

First topic message reminder :

What does everone think about a TRIVIA thread

Stuff that maybe of no use to most people but really handy to the others. Maybe a good DVD ,something they have made,seen ,heard of ,
cooked ,been too .Minor things that do not really warrant a post of there own.(like most of my stuff ,there beat you to it )
Like taking a tractor tyre up north to float your Bandit across a river to a football selection ,the taste of beer ,who's state is
better at Rugby League. (may be not that) .Something that may make someone else say ,"why didnt i think of that".

Good idea or just post it on "off topic discussions " or not post it at all? (feeling vulnerable now )

Dhula knows a lot about all sorts of things I think

Gus, I wonder where your trivia thread is headed!

Got a top recipe here for steamed bananas with passion fruit ,lemon and ice-cream. That should follow a good Tank story.

Even have pictures ready,so get 3 bananas,a lemon,passion fruit and brown sugar,alum foil. ready.Post it up tomorrow.Seriously

And now to our regularly scheduled program

*A healthy human cornea is roughly 0.6mm thick and is made up of 5 layers
*Errol Flynn worked as an inspector for a soft drink company before he became a major film star.
*Benita was on playschool the longest
*Farts travel at roughly 12 kph

80% of bikers could care less about trivia.

68.9% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

97% of people who die have been seen ( visited ) by a Doctor in the 4 weeks prior to their death..................Grumpy

Due to its high degree of microporosity, just 1 gram of activated charcoal has a surface area in excess of 500 m2, or about one tenth the size of a football field.

If the Earth was shrunk down to the size of a basketball, the the biosphere (the area in the sea, air and land where all life is found) would be the thickness of a layer of varnish. The soil layer would only be an atom thick.

Has anyone noticed how healthy the bar graph looks on" new users " in statistics .Wish i had a business that looked like that .
Well done Cam and everybody concerned.

I have to say my summer Ixon Hacker Jacket is outstanding .Had a couple of Dririders but the Ixon so much better. 9\10

LOST. Possibly dead .One cylindrical rego holder cost $50 . Attempted suicide brought on by boredom during economy ride.Tore itself free
buy cutting restraints. Last seen heading north .

Will the FA Bandit end up with Sharft Drive next year or so ? And do you want it if it costs $1700 more ?

well it would cut down on maintenance. Suzuki have been quiet of late, one GP bike, minor updates to the GSXR and the competition releasing sport tourers to compete with BMW, Honda etc. Now if they managed to make it a shafty with SSSA*, I would be very tempted.


*Single sided swing arm

A magnetic dish makes any job much more organised .No more looking for that washer that rolled away.Cheap bin Repco. $10 well spent.

WHere has NZ11 got to.Did someone say something that he took A FENCE to .

Belt drive would do me. Shafts sap to much power.
