Shane from Fraser's in the 'gong rings me up saying that my Arrows will be there on the 29th of this month. Me thinking that I wouldn't be getting them for at least another few weeks was going to grab my bike on Friday and toot around on it till they get my pipes in.

And yeah, we have the 31st ride plus I need my bike back to get me to work. I have a company vehicle till next Wednesday, and don't I flog the arse out of that!

I guess my prob is that if I keep the bike there, I will get the pipes put on without me having to go down there twice. But I want my bike back and another BIG BUT, I have a broken toe and not even sure if I can even ride it yet!

I guess my thinking now is to get the bike on Friday and when my Arrows come in, organise a day later for them to install them.

Why does this shit always happen!

FAAAAAAARRRRRRKKKKKKKK, where are ya Trev? :'(

take the bike home ,ride it ,pick cans up your self and fit them , save a dollar, and take the bike back only if needs to be tuned , there that was easy whos next hang on doctor phil wait your turn  [laugh]

Hey Super

Fit 'em yerself!!!!! [thumbsup] 40 minutes no dramas. Betcha they'jj charge a dam side more 1 hours labour??? :(

Got my high rise Arrows from Chris at CC Cycleworks about 3 weeks ago and the only problem was the paperwork was in Italian. But pretty straightforward to fit and such a luverly noise. ;D Got the system landed at my door for $960 Oz dollars.

Super where you at  ???

Milperra.  ???


i fitted the ones that are on there, piece of piss. [thumbsup]

This is all insurance work, so maybe i should let them fit 'em and get the lifetime warranty?guarantee on there work.  ???

If you like i can run ya down to pick her up  [thumbsup]

Look out Trev, someone is trying to grass cut you. ;D


I will send you a PM, but you don't have to do this for me, but geez, thanks for the offer, I may take you up on it. [thumbsup]

what's the go with the toe?

left foot? I'd let that heal first.

Super, if you decide to put em' on yourself. Tools in hand I volunteer to come and help nut it out  [thumbsup] - Chris

We can rig up a suicide shifter for you [laugh] [laugh]

That's not the only thing I am really, really considering doing.

I can hear CHOP, CHOP floating around my cerebral cortex. That would be my brain. [evil]

Could be a project for the Dockstrada maintenance day. ;D

Hehe. My cousin had a Harley with a 3 speed/reverse suicide shift.

The only bike, other than my own, that I've loved. :P

It's ORRRN! On baby!


Gimme a few weeks though.


Matty? OOOhhhh Matty? You'd like to help, wouldn't you, and get the whole thing on film?


MAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?

DOne mate! - Chris

Yeah, I know! I'm getting more confident with it everyday, it's not as sore as it was. Put my boot on yesterday and it was a little painful, but those boots are always snug in the toe region. I wear steel caps every day and it's not as bad as it was a week and a half ago.

I think I should be fine. [thumbsup]

Mate, that's a great offer - do you travel  ? - I'll have the Termis in a few week and Melbourne is great this time of year, I'll shout you coffee afterwards and you can show me how it's done, there's a magnificent girl there called Rebecca who doesn't even know I'm alive, so I'd appreciate a tip of two in coffee-girl seduction, step 1: leave them wanting more.

 [thumbsup]

+ have a nice rear end. That's what Chris reckons anyway. ;D

As Chopper would say:

"Harden the f...k up"........  [thumbsup]

Am I worried on Dock cutting my grass??????

There is only one Big T who gives Big T hugs...... And only the privileged few get that experience .....  [cheeky]  [cheeky]  [cheeky]

Big T dont get cut im just trying to help out, you can come to there is plenty of room in the F250 [thumbsup]

You guys don't secretly run the Ducati Riders Assist program do you?
Who needs dealer support....

TIB, I can understand the timing dilemna. I got my pipes the day after my first ride. I was on the fedex site every hour trying to see where the deivery was at in the days leading up.  I so wanted them on for the maiden voyage, but it was never to be.
The stockers only stayed on for 70km.

Are you bringing your "rubber hose" along?????  ;D  ;D

You know no one can replace you Trev... you're still a leg end. [thumbsup]

I will take mine Trev, i'm sure the F250 has a 600 litre tank in it.  [thumbsup]

Just hope it's not diesel.  ???

I will walk around it like Mad Max and tap the tanks with my knuckle to see how much fuel is in it.  ;D

Just gotta watch the Booby trap. ;)

And the fuel tanks as well.....  [laugh]  [laugh]  [laugh]

Okay here I am was off air for a little bit changing ISP's
Of course it will be documented, we need all this stuff again.
As for tools, that list was mighty long Chris.

I used my trusty hacksaw as you could be precise.

1. hacksaw 
2. gaff tape (thicker)
3.file
4. etch primer
5. red if you like
6. frame plugs
7. smile at how pretty she looks.  ;D ;D ;D

Your out of luck super  7.3 ltr Diesel Turbo  [thumbsup]

Yeah and it just hit
[/color]

I wouldnt know i send sh#ted to fill it [thumbsup]

Well my Golf cost me $86 for 45ltrs or so the other day....
That was at $173.blah blah blah......

How many Ltrs per 100km you get ???

My F250 will do around  14.5 Ltrs per 100km around town and  @ 3500kg its not bad  [thumbsup]

hard to beleve but its true
Max rpm 3000
Max torque 1100 ft·lb @ 1800 rpm

Love it [thumbsup]

 

That's about as good as my S4RT.... Maybe I should trade it in for a F250......  [laugh]  [laugh]

DAMMIT! Oh well Trev, you just have to dig a little deeper into those deep pockets.

That is a HUGE donk! 460 c.i?


HAHA! Something the first year could maybe master. [laugh]

As big said once its not much of a chick magnet  :-\

Ahhh
Don't know!!!
45 ltrs a fill does around 750 + k's
So what's that about 6 or 7/100

Wow 6 ltrs per 100  [thumbsup]

Who cares...... I'm the chick magnet not the vehicle......  ;D  ;D  ;D

Okay I'll wake up now from that great dream I was having.....  [bang]

So i see the effects from the drugs the gave you from your fall in the Himalayas is still hindering your judgment  [laugh] [laugh] [cheeky]

You guys are f&ckn cak up!  [laugh]. Spidy ride to syni, bring pipes, we install, we cut tail, you ride back! Its an adventure! [evil]  - Chris

ps, ...my tips on chicks for blokes who've harn'd the fark up!

Chicks like guys in dirty overalls
Overalls can never be dirty enough
Yes,... even at Coles when shopping...
Yes,... beer & wine are food groups, even at Coles
Chicks like it if you either dark & misterious (like most bikers), or rich
Pretend rich is being a tight arse... yes even at coles
Chicks like it when you ask them about their hair (even when they haven't done anything to it), about their shoes (even when their just black), about their ear-rings (when their pretty darn boring)
Chicks like it when they ask you about the bike and you give a 3 word answer... yes it is, yes you can  ;D
Chicks like it when you make the first move... subtle, but definite
The best first move is "hello" say it like you mean it! Don't say much else at all. Say it right the first time...

I wondered what that lump on my head was from........ Aaaarrr now it come back to me...... Flash backs from all those acid trips in the 70s.....  [cheeky]  [cheeky]

Mate, I learnt from you and trimmed the tail down straight away, I haven't shown Rebecca my rear end though - consider it done! in greasy overalls too.
