The "Off Topic" thread...

She's much better now, thanks Neil.

Only problem is, she needs a knee re-construction, and after that stint in hospital, she swears she'll never set foot in a hospital again, unless they drag her in there on an ambulance gerni

Maybe I should just belt her over the head and drag her in there myself... :rof:

Cheers Mate,

I am very pleased to here it. She needs to get the knee fixed or she may end up over compensating and cause premature wear and tear to her hip.

Good luck

Nelly

PS thanks for translating the fender stuff. I consider English to be my first language. I could not make head nor tail of it lol.

Vehicle Standard (Australian Design Rule 42/01 – General Safety Requirements) 2006
I, JAMES ERIC LLOYD, Minister for Local Government, Territories and Roads, determine this vehicle standard under subsection 7 (1) of the Motor Vehicle Standards Act 1989.



Dated 23 September 2006




42.12.3.2.1. Rear ‘Axle’ and Side-car
The wheel guard provided for the rear wheel and for the wheel of any side-car must extend not less than from a point vertically above the foremost part of the wheel rearward to a point not higher than the intersection of the arc of the wheel guard with a line through the centre of the wheel at 45 degrees to a horizontal plane through the centre of the wheel when a mass of 45 kg is distributed in the saddle of the vehicle at its ‘Unladen Mass’.



This mess of garbage is straight out of the ADR's and is the relevant section.


Cheers
Mike

Which means that if you had a rear hugger that did this, you would be fine. Would be an ugly hugger though....... and would have to be custom made.....

Hmmmmmm.....how did this "off topic" thread become the "Hot topic" thread!!!

I never want to hear about another freakin' rear fender ever again in my life....oh the agony of riding the Great Ocean road without my TB's was awful....All those cliffs for the noise to bounce off!

On the bright side, Mick (ozfazer6), i have got my hands on that fender from Yammie World, would love to get onto this soon....now that i have actually got off my butt, and got it!!! Will PM you.

And finally, completely off topic, did anyone see that Warner is in the runs in the Cricket for Australia today? That boy looks like a rare find!

:rockon:

 

[Stumbles06]

About Warner... So, do ya think we've found our replacement for Hayden??? Didn't take long. The kid looks good.

That's a big call, but hey, he is in form, and looks comfortable out there. Maybe in the short versions of the game, would like to see more of him before thinking tests...who knows, they may find a flaw in his technique that can be exploited...has happened to many a promising young batsmen before...it happened to Hayden, first time round in the Test team.

:thumbup:

 

[Humperdinkel]

Yeah ive been watching Warner , that 1st 6 he hit was a screamer ....As for replacing Hayden , well im not to sure about that , looks to be lacking in technique for an opening batsman and can get out real cheap......I'd be more inclined to give Marcus North a go , or Peter Forrest but i think it'll be Phil Jaques.............

Jacques will get the gig in the long game...and so he should, his form was great up until he got injured.

Yeah thats what im guessing , they have had he earmarked for the job for 4 or 5 years now....Plus he already has a baggy green so they wont have to blood a newbie..

Love the tests too, but the twenty20 is growing on me...as it is quick too watch, like going to a movie.

:thumbup:

 

[Stumbles06]

Tests... Boring.

20Twenty... too short, but if they're on fire, it's good to watch.

50 Over games... Now THAT's cricket

 

[Stumbles06]

And, on that note. I'm heading out east to a ridingSA coffee night... just of Greenhill/Glynburn rd intersection at a place called " the place next door" lol (next door to the feathers hotel I think).

Catch-ya's.

Was thinking of crashing the party...but i am going to stay home and watch Australia lose the cricket...well they will, if they dont get a couple more wickets soon...is looking a bit grim tonight!

LOL , i'd say grim is a bit optimistic

Lol! We batted awfully for the last 20 overs...Hopes was awful, David Hussey was arkward...both need a decent :spank: and as for Mike Hussey, and Ponting, both are nowhere near their best!
