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 )

You jinx me Gus. I was on the lollie pop all day today. F*&% I forgot how dumb some drivers are

The best i saw today was a lady driving with a plate in her left hand with 2 pieces of Vegemite on toast on it .
And of cause people texting and talking on phones . One prang in front of me and one very abusive pedestrian .(all in a days work )

12 days in a row .Work sucks .

Just think of the MONEY Gus, the MONEY. Good on ya mate.

Good 'ol Cycletorque, always good for a few typos.


I wonder what themes you can get for the fans?

all the ideas just keep going around and around and around in my head

Those of you with better "pull" than me ,can you please do something about the QLD weather . Wet ,windy and on the scale of 1 -10 its a 2.
Been like this for weeks .

Yes it is a bit depressing Gus. What makes it even worse is when you see the news and they show the Aussie cricketers practising for the Boxing day test in Melbourne, and the SUN is shinning ! WTF ! I blame Anna.

It`s a good thing I`m not one to rub it in , Adelaide has also been magic in the weather department as well
Oh well I suppose you could be worse off & live in Darwin at the moment


PS my youngest daughter & her boyfriend are off to the gold coast next week

Tell them to pack a brolley !

I've owned the Bandit for two months now and I've put a bit over four thousand kays on it. Managed to get rained on four times. Did somebody say that Tassie is the "Sunshine State" at present??? Dream on, I know. Perhaps a holiday down here might solve the RD, rider deprivation, problem Gus? I realise you know the roads down here. Riders Nirvana, my biased view any way. Last ride met up with four Bandit owners so you would be in good company.

I`ll see if she can bring up a big jar of sunshine to open up for you.

I just hope the "powers that be" are letting water out of the dam so that we dont have a repeat (manmade) flood.

You would like to think they learned by past experience .But then again .......................

(I hope we have enough water this year! )

Went for a ride today .Got pulled over 3 times for license and Breathalyzer check ,and rode through 2 others .

How many here own or have owned a Mitsubishi Wanker 4X4 (Pajero in Spanish means "Wanker") http://chameleon-translations.com/Index-Companies-pajero.shtml

And it is more than urban legend that the Mitsubishi Starion which followed the Mitsubishi Colt was meant to be the Mitsubishi Stallion but in ordering the badges for the cars from Spain the Japanese pronunciation came across as Starion and so we had the Colt, Starion and Lancer.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubishi_Starion

I knew about the Starion but not the Pajero ( Kind of explains some of the drivers )

I once owned back in 1985 a 2litre Sigma - that must surely translate to 'POS or Piece of Shite'. It put me off buying anything made by Mitsubishi since. But I do notice the current Triton has a 3 tonne towing capacity which beats the opposition.

test drove the Ranger the other day ,3.3ton! no idea how they work out towing rates!
