  1. You are welcome... let me know if you want to try it sometime... I need a good laugh.... it's about as stiff as a steel pipe... thought it might work to make a rocking horse for my son... nope..
  2. I have a 650lb/mm coil for you... 75mm internal... 180 long... should work...
  3. Sounds like an excuse for something to me... they have had wind on the day of the expo before..... and didn't open late....
  4. Condolences to the family and friends - and the mutts too. Never a good day to lose a friend. Life is going to be different without his wit and insights...
  5. As long as you are not breaking wind..... Only 1 rule in the wind on Argus - find someone stronger and bigger than you and sit slip for as long as possible....
  6. Gonna be good riding with your dad- just keep him protected from the lunatics. I rode my 10th Argus with my Dad - his 10th too - deep into his 70s as well - was a fun ride - would have been faster but pushing not allowed by the old man - his ride, his rules. Good luck and best wishes to both of you for a safe ride.
  7. I have been using 1 of these lately - http://bikebag.co.za/#home - you may want to review that too - also a local product - and it fits a full face.
  8. Full face is impossible I guess...
  9. Emigrated to Scotland.
  10. Why?
  11. Try bespoke stainless cabinets... the ones I like...
  12. You do have a knack for understatement.... Those are really k...k pictures...
  13. The shock is vertical... it's all good...
  14. And you couldn't have kept that headline for Friday? missed a good opportunity there.....
  15. Damn - 70% burn coverage - not going to be an easy road ahead. Get well soon Barry!
  16. Few Barista's in SA have any clue about the workings or setup of a machine or grinder - or even how to correctly size a machine, and even less on what alternatives are available or the features needed for a commercial machine. The easiest way to find out is to attend a decent barista course - and definitely not to hire a barista - unless his name happens to be Ishan Natalie or Craig Charity or someone of that level.... AND YOU SPECIFICALLY ASK those questions - it's not normally a feature of commercial barista courses... Also - how do you know what barista to hire if you don't have an understanding of the basics yourself to ask decent questions... Thanks for the tip on Malas - I will not even consider a visit... dirty machines make me spitting mad - even if it's not mine....
  17. She should do a barista course first before considering spending any cash on machines
  18. A Marshall MUST have been present if the driver refused to listen.... Otherwise who did he refuse to listen to?
  19. So - what is CSA going to do about prosecuting the driver..????? They should throw the full book at the driver... and the truck owner... That said - looking where you are going is probably advisable at all times - although I don't blame the rider here at all - it's supposed to be safe on the course - and that includes the road surface as well.
  20. Better add gears for that girl...
  21. Is that the HOT section... where you grow horns...
  22. And the loss of some of the funniest bar ends I have seen... OK... fugly....
  23. If you don't.... the grumpy old coot is gonna get you.... then you will be from heaven...
  24. Now go for a swim....
  25. True... but you don't have to know exactly how many grams are in the pf and the exact water temperature to get the taste right.. getting it right is the thing - so sometimes "more" or "less" than the last taste is good enough... likewise hotter or cooler... comes down to the skills and knowledge of the barista and their ability to manipulate the variables to get the right end taste result... not the record keeping and reduction of skills to a formula... And thats not a criticism of good record keepers at all - but few things annoy me as much as people who insist that 16.345g of blend x at 201.82f generates perfect... those are the formula followers... Not to say I get it right all the time at all - but I at least experiment to see what affects what and what I like - and have a rough idea what to change to adjust something closer to what I like if the taste is off... Actually keeping records of every variable could just tilt my CDO over the edge.... and at the end of the day I do this for enjoyment- not to facilitate a psych disorder... which happens to be a real risk given my hand washing compulsion.... must be why I married a shrink...
