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 )

Today I celebrate 25 years happily married.

I remember my parents celebrating their 25th and then 50th, sadly Dad nevr made it to 60 but it gives me something to aim for.

Congrats to the Trucks. Hope you keep on trucking too.

Thanks Gents - Appreciate your Thoughts and Well Wishes.

That's not trivial, that's several consecutive life sentences in NSW

Actually well done especially on the happily part, congratulations to you both.

I've passed that "millstone " and now my wife is looking forward to 30 some idiot told he she gets pearls.   

Millstone - Thats funny! Congratulations on approaching the 30 yrs mark.
Just googled 30 wedding anniversary and according to Gilletts Jewellers site, Pearl is the traditional gift and Diamond is modern.   

Not my job to sell stuff and I'm not sure that 2 for $50 is a good deal, but I thought some guys might be interested as the have a Bandit T shirt.

Bummer, it's naked. Not a bad price tho

I am very disappointed in people who buy worthless presents like jewellery.
I bought an arc welder and Triton saw bench for our 20th.
I think our 25th was celebrated with an assortment of power tools.
It just keeps getting better  

I did actually forget our anniversary once. Seeing her disappointment I went out the following morning and bought her a cordless drill (with 2 batteries) WOW!!

You're such a SNAG .................you spoil that woman  

T-shirts have gone to the dogs . Most are so thin one wash and they look like a  rag .Sizes are all over the place ,necks tight or loose .
Designs are for 12 year olds ,Old guys DONT rule ,American Indians are NOT all wise , wolves do not live in Australia ,there is NO surf in Alice Springs,
not everyone WANTS black ,no t-shirt is worth $50 , no POO SHOOTER mambo T should ever be worn AND if your a personal trainer (isn't every second person ) don't have " TRAINER " on the back of your shirt you fucking wanker .

Thanks Paul for your understanding

Actually, I think I am facing a dilemma this year. I can't think of any tools she hasn't got. Maybe some are a bit old and need replacing.

I would never buy my better half any thing like an ironing board, that is just so rude.

I know this is a crazy thing to say here but if anyone would like to make any suggestions, I think I could do with a bit of help.

I couldn't agree more Gus.

I'm sure I take a size 9 shoe but I recently bought a pair of sneakers, size 12, which just fitted nicely. They were also a nice green colour. I've never worn green sneakers before.    
When I used to go to "motorcycle functions" I always came home with a T shirt.

I used to buy a 4XL or 5XL so SWMBO could wear them as an oversized nightie. At the time of purchase I used to get some funny looks until I explained they would be a perfect fit for the wife. Keep 'em guessing eh!

How about one of those hand held massage machines so her fingers don't get sore when she is massaging your back  

Never gets cold enough in Qld for heated grips eh ?
Try 1 deg last night

Better get 2 sets Gus, got down to 18 here in the Ville last night. Had to sleep with a singlet on.  

The winner of the fattest ARSE competition goes to (drum roll ) HONDA (heads no better )

Maybe if Sigourney Weaver was riding it would look better.....

E-Bay fairing part cost $25 .98 postage $1225.58 . 

Hey Gus,

You've got to be proud of me. I left the Givi on the bike when I traded it. I reckon I was carting around 20 litres of very useless crap over the last 5 years and don't recall using any of it. It included a set of good spanners which I thought I had lost but, here they are.

I have unzipped the magnetic base from my tank bag and should I ever need to use it two occy straps will hold it on the back seat nicely (and no scratched tank)

No more big luggage for me      

Isnt that strange, I just fitted some .      ( 's might fly ) 

Gone to the Dark Side have we?

I wonder if Barry is our equivalent of the evil emperor 

Looking for a front disk on E-Bay

My sv 650 . I really liked this bike but with 5 bikes and someone waving $$$ it went to a new owner .
