Title: Re: Brought this home tonight... Post by: Rameses on January 21, 2016, 05:56:58 AM I hate Picasa. Let me try uploading it to Photobucket, if I can remember my account info to sign in. If that doesn't work, maybe one of you two kids can help me out with some other ideas for your new-fangled techmologies? Title: Re: Brought this home tonight... Post by: Rameses on January 21, 2016, 06:21:35 AM Photobucket sucks too. Let's try Flickr... (https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1497/23891735654_9bb4e231b1_k.jpg) Maybe?

Now that that's taken care of, it's time to put on a bunch of layers so I can go outside and roost some frozen dirt! [thumbsup] Title: Re: Brought this home tonight... Post by: ducpainter on January 21, 2016, 07:22:26 AM How cold could it be?
Title: Re: Brought this home tonight... Post by: Rameses on January 21, 2016, 08:55:13 AM How cold could it be? I think it was 28 when I posted that. I know, I know. That's nothing to you northerners, but it's cold to me. ;D Title: Re: Brought this home tonight... Post by: Speeddog on January 21, 2016, 09:17:57 AM Which one is that?

Title: Re: Brought this home tonight... Post by: Rameses on January 21, 2016, 11:42:04 AM Which one is that? WR250F That is gonna be miles of smiles. [evil] Yeah, my wife's been making fun of me because I'm grinning like a little kid when I come back inside from ripping around the back yard on it. Looks good. I like the rack on the back of the SUV too. Yeah, I dig the hook that drops down and holds the bike in place. Pretty slick. Title: Re: Brought this home tonight...

Title: Re: Brought this home tonight... Post by: Rameses on January 21, 2016, 01:08:29 PM [thumbsup] Nice! What year? 2001 So, no electric start. Which means no battery in the airbox, better breathing, and more hp. Title: Re: Brought this home tonight... Post by: DucHead on January 21, 2016, 08:12:07 PM Lol, how's your health insurance?
Will it fit in a microwave oven? Title: Brought this home tonight... Post by: GK on January 22, 2016, 03:23:24 AM I had another look at the pic!
I saw the price on the fuel bowser. Was that $32.80 for 20.774 gallons? If so that's $32.80 for 78.63 liters. If so that's only 43 ish US cents a liter. That's about 61 AUS cents a liter. If so, all I can say is blooming heck! It's about $1.19 AUS / 0.84 US per litre here at the moment! You lucky buggers! Lol! Title: Re: Brought this home tonight... Post by: Rameses on January 22, 2016, 07:43:17 AM Lol, how's your health insurance? Will it fit in a microwave oven? My health insurance is very good. Haha And I'm working on modding the microwave to run with the door open, so I can hold it up against the bike. ;D I had another look at the pic! I saw the price on the fuel bowser.

It's about $1.19 AUS / 0.84 US per litre here at the moment! You lucky buggers! Lol! Yeah. Gas prices are really low here right now. It wasn't long ago that they were more than twice what they are now, so that was about the same as what you guys are paying. Title: Re: Brought this home tonight...

That's within pennies of what I'm paying here. Title: Re: Brought this home tonight... Post by: ducpainter on January 22, 2016, 09:47:53 AM We're paying $1.79/US gallon, but it varies statewide.
Title: Re: Brought this home tonight... Post by: Howie on January 22, 2016, 10:48:04 AM $1.89ish for regular at the cheaper stations here, can be as high as $2.29. On the other hand, diesel can range from $2.29 to well over $4.00

Post by: Howie on January 22, 2016, 12:36:28 PM Seems fuel is always notably higher than the rest of the nation in California.

Post by: kopfjäger on January 23, 2016, 11:03:25 AM I would've failed at "fuel bowser". :D No shit! :D I've been learning Aussie speak from our forum friends here, and using it on rednecks in AL. It makes for some funny conversations. ;) Title: Re: Brought this home tonight... Post by: Rameses on January 23, 2016, 02:23:31 PM Today I learned that riding in the snow isn't nearly as much fun as I'd thought it would be. The forward movement to noise made ratio is way too low. Maybe it's just because it's a really granular, icy snow. I don't know.

Title: Re: Brought this home tonight... Post by: Rameses on January 23, 2016, 04:46:31 PM How much snow you get? Not much. Maybe two inches. But with some freezing rain mixed in, there's an ice shell over the top of it. Title: Re: Brought this home tonight... Post by: IZ on January 23, 2016, 05:25:17 PM Not much. Maybe two inches. But with some freezing rain mixed in, there's an ice shell over the top of it. That's going to be a mess to drive in. I tried riding my DR350 in Flagstaff a few times. I don't recall having much fun.

No shit! :D I've been learning Aussie speak from our forum friends here, and using it on rednecks in AL. It makes for some funny conversations. ;) Lol! Afternoon! 👍🏻 Title: Re: Brought this home tonight... Post by: Rameses on January 23, 2016, 09:05:39 PM Gas pump is what you'd hear most often in the US. People would know what you were talking about if you said fuel pump though. Any idea how the term fuel bowser came to be? Is bowser a term that's used over there for other types of pumps as well? Title: Re: Brought this home tonight... Post by: Howie on January 23, 2016, 10:12:05 PM A bowser is a tanker.

Title: Brought this home tonight... Post by: GK on January 24, 2016, 01:43:44 AM A bowser is a tanker. Howie is correct! Bowser is also Aussie slang for a fuel pump at a petrol station. From the Net: 1930-35; said to be after S.F. Bowser and Co., a Sydney manufacturer of gasoline and oil storage systems Title: Re: Brought this home tonight...
