The Rant Thread

[Disco]

This is a rant at myself, learned a very big lesson that im paying for the last 2 days.

Thursday I went out for my 1st proper ride on the Strommy (only ever rode it to & from work). Well, it became a big ride. Over 800 k's in about 11 hours.

Anyway the lesson/rant. You can't ride that long in the Qld summer and only have 3 cans of softdrink & 2 sausage rolls to keep you going.

Felt fine when I got home thursday night. Last 2 days, bring up everything I try to eat.

I'm a stupid stupid man :spank:

Like the girl guides used to say, BE PREPARED!

I don't even drive without a bottle of water - got caught by an accident once pn Great Northern Highway - 38' day and road closed in front of me for over an hour

Had a big project this week for work which I was the leader of.
Was stressing about making the due dates and working away from home on long days.

My shed got broken into on my first night away. Motorcycle key taken and a big turd left on the shed floor.

This naturally turned my wife into a ****ing loon and thus I have had a **** of a week.

Security upgrades all round.

 

[Kazza]

That sux!

Key/lock can be replaced but knowing someone was in there - that's horrible. As for the "gift" they left you, disgusting :rant:

P155ed anyone off lately? Just a thought. It's a pretty personal thing to do.

Hope your wife isn't too freaked out

Who the **** does something like that?
Too many useless degenerates in the world these days.
Hopefully the useless wanker gets his due and on his next break and enter meets someone prepared, like a bikie.

It does seem rather personal however. Especially with you away working, which someone holding a grudge at work may have known.
Did you get it DNA tested?

 

[Kriswithak]

Not sure if its been mentioned already elsewhere, but Wolfman's FZ6 only got 7th for modified bike of the year in Rapid

 

[Kriswithak]

Actually my mistake, voting is currently underway!!!

 

[Kazza]

Ok, I am sick and tired of the high prices we pay for bikes in Australia versus the US.

Went to a stealership on Saturday - 2006 FZ1 - $11990!...... In the US this would be $5000.

Why do we have to pay sooo much for 2nd hand stuff over here?

:rant:

 

[Kriswithak]

WOW, that is insane.......
The FZ6's are like 7ish here in Syd!
For a 06 thats daylight robbery.

You could pick up a Speed Triple for not much more than that (or probably that much if your looking for an older year).
Northside here in Syd have an 08 (I think) Speed3 for 13 on road, in pretty nice condition from the looks of it.

If I upgraded again I would seriously reconsider the Street Triples though, the insurance cost of the S3 was triple what I was paying before.

Also, here is the most modded bike competition is Rapid if anyone is interested (in voting for Wolfman!)

 

[Kazza]

FZ1 not FZ6.

Still a rip off though

That's why we have air-conditioning :BLAA:

6:30pm here, 31'C. Vodka, lime & lemonade in one hand, laptop in the other. T20 on TV, Mike is about to cook dinner :blowkiss:

Not a rant, sorry......

I'm sure I'll have one tomorrow though

Nice and cool here this week Dan,after new years I,m bloody glad of it,the LOW that night was a smidge under 29 !

 

[Wolfman]

It's like Autumn weather in Adelaide this week....it should be mid 30's, but it's more like the low twenties...with a cool breeze! Nice but weird!

Yeah, it sucks a lot, especially when you come over from the states and can remember the great prices.

I did however get my heavily modded 2006 FZ1 for only $8300 last year here in Qld :rockon:

Now my rant: Why are the speed limits so @#$% slow? At least in NT it gets up there, even if just out in the middle of no where. The Revenue generators on wheels have gotten me twice in the last 2 weeks :spank:

I believe that if you were going fast Mid-corner his would not be an issue. (old obiwolf saying).
Going fast in a straight line is like playing the guitar fast. Still sounds ok but is not really skillful!

-not trying to take the piss but they don't set these things up on any decent corner-

I hate revenue raisers as much as the next person but speeding in a straight line is just asking of it...and I have asked for it more than most and payed my dues as well.

Oh, real live cops got me, one car and one bike, not any cameras. Both got me right after some sweeping corners. My Throttlemeister keeps me from going fast on the forever long straights. :thumbup:

Find some tight corners, they cant get a camera on ya then...Plus you wont be going that fast that you can get in real trouble...

I stay away from roads with big ar$e sweepers in them if i can...getting caught doing 200km/h in a 100 zone is not something i wanna experience, and that's what big sweepers tempt you to do!!!

"1st world problems" #2345: refreshing tracking website for delivery and not getting any updates

Tracking is both awesome and freaking annoying, swear it just makes me sweat on the delivery... rather than just letting it go and being pleasantly surprised when it arrives (if it does!). :Flip:

*goes back to refreshing tracking page* :Flash: :spank:

 

[stink989]

Yep frustrating for sure. Get the USPS iPhone app and it makes you even more frustrated!
