CAM (not quite so official) Say Anything Thread

[Statler]

some basement water from the groundwater on the highside of hte house but we got rid of most of it by hammer drilling three holes in the cinder block and running garden hoses to the basement shower drain.  GALLONS per minute.   Still up all night dealing with the rest of it.  No damage other than to sleep.   Whatever leaked by simply runs out the back door and down to the canal.

Set an alarm for every hour to go retie lines on the boat.  Water came just over our lower deck at 2 am.   It's 5 feet lower now.

so tired but no damage so not as bad off as Lars.  Lars, drinks are on me.

Well , my house flooded and I now have to remove the flooring ,trim and maybe some drywall,  fookin blows.

Insurance covers nothing

F!!!  I was just about to send you a message to see how things went last night.  Really sorry to hear that the water got so high where you are. 

Let me know when it's time to start getting things done out there.  In cases like this, I'll work for bad jokes...

MV rep confirmed to me today that the new F3 IS going to be a 675 triple.

No spoiling here, but if you haven't seen today's MotoGP race, and don't have access to see it, let me know.  It was a cracker!!

On the F3

“The design of the bike, I have to say, It's really unique, but it has a family feeling of an MV. The engine is really different from the competitors because it is full ride-by-wire; it's completely new and has more performance. At the bench, we are now around 137bhp, so we think we can reach 140. This will be the first three-cylinder that is completely electronic, completely ride-by-wire and there are some specs in the engine, that our engineers will need to tell you about, that are different from the others.”

“The F3 will be the smallest bike that's ever been produced in this category. It's like a 125.”

“At the moment, we're finishing our engineering and prototyping. The engine already did 70,000 miles without any problems. We have good results of reliability and good results of performance. Let's say that we have done 90 percent and now have 10 percent to go. Production will start in October of next year.”

“The pricing is already decided. The price will be â,¬11,500, which is in direct competition with the rivals [the 128bhp Triumph Daytona 675 retails for â,¬11,590 in Italy]. There is a small premium because an MV is a rich bike, but with all the competition between â,¬10,500 and â,¬11,200, we're not far above. It is a really competitive price for an MV.”

“For the American Market? To be competitive in the US we will have to sell the bike around $12,000 and that makes it difficult because, with the dollar still going down, it is very difficult for us to be profitable in the country. Almost impossible.”

Wouldn't surprise me if MV dropped off a Daytona 675 engine at Ferrari and told them: "like this, but better!" 

Tested the eye-blinding jacket today, and I have to say

Figures you would be in your center of the sun coat! I think it took about 15 minutes for my fat to warm up when I got to work.

So I guess that jacket is pseudo wind-proof?
