battery tenders & chargers

That is all good news! I saw you had ordered the charger (HB is excellent at finding stuff eh?) and I also saw Milton's offers of a loan (how did he go too with the voltage difference, did you share a few beers yet?) but was wondering about the battery; obviously it just needed a good long bath in resuscitating electricity.

Do you think the back tyre (note the correct spelling lol) really slipped because of wear? Even my worn knobbies stick well most of the time on dry tarmac, but seem to slide a little for no reason at other times. It is either road markings which can be bloody slippery even when dry or it is a layer of dust I find, fine dust and a bit of gravel that you can hardly see. There is one spot near me always does that. Anyway, good luck with finding tyres.

Something that gave me a lot of confidence years ago after a crash was some engine guards, the sort that are usually chromed and stick sideways out from the front frame. Not so much for shoulders but I got my leg pinned under the bike one day and it was only when the machine hit the curb of the roundabout and hopped up again that I got free. My leathers were torn right through - another few feet and I would have been ripped up myself. Next time I slid (front wheel lost it on a manhole cover) the new guards kept everything lifted from the road and the bike swept away from me and slowed in a shower of sparks and it and I were OK, just scratched the chrome. It doesn't directly save the shoulder but means you can twist onto your back and slide to a happy halt if there is nowt else in the way! All the 'Tour de France' cyclists seem to have smashed their collar bones a few times so I am surprised no-one has invented anything for protecting that if it is so vulnerable. Maybe those new-fangled air-bag suits!

And the shank should be turned into a real 'shank' perhaps, not a keyring, with a collar-bone handle of course? I am sure you can pick up human body bits in China. Because of your Hippocratic Oath and peaceable nature, you needn't use it as a weapon, could be a letter opener ...

I am so pathetic ...

Mr. Euph buys a JH600 ... so do I
Mr. Euph gets Tourfella bags ... so do I
Mr. Euph gets a Canon G11 ... so do I
Mr. Euph gets a Contour cam ... so do I

Mr. Euph gets a NFA charger off taobao ... so do I

Dear Mr Euph ... please do not buy a pink Lambo!

Sincerely, your pathetic shadow

Mr. Euph will be getting a set of hand guards for his JH600 soon, which is in my care currently. I am pretty sure you can afford that with your doctor's income. PM me for the spec.
By the way, Mr. Euph is a Apple/Mac guy. Make sure you give up your Wintel if not yet done that.
Cheers.

Don't listen to him, go Linux! Express your individuality just like so many thousands of others ...

Perhaps you two are one and the same individual, depending on the drugs drifting in the air in the operating theatre on any particular day? I bet you too have a scar on the shoulder?

Which one is Mr. Jekyll and which one is Mr. Hyde, that is the real question ...

Dear Lao Jia Huo,

Don't feel bad. What goes around comes around. I've just ordered one of these:

I have only you to thank!

cheers

which, the vehicle, the ballet-dancer in boots or the teddy bear? Or all three?

I'll leave that to your imagination.

I would like to know where Lao Jia Huo got those two pictures. Pink Lambos are a dime a dozen. But I've never seen anything like those two pink riders. Please tell me this was not a photoshopping trick.

cheers

I can't see any pictures in his post. You joshing me? Don't tell me they only show on macs!

Someone gave me a little Samsung netbook loaded with Win7 in Chinese. :bs: I was thinking I'd redo it with some Linux distro so I could be a cool hacker-geek independent of any commercial master. :pirate3:

But if I can't see girls riding pink motorbikes, I think I'll pass! :dirtbike:

Ah FFS! Now I don't know if you are taking the P or not! which probably serves me right for always being a smartarse ...
I cannot see anything pictorial in Lao Jia Huo's last post, number 32, ( I can see the lass in yours as I answered about that.)

removed some nonsense

if i ever get a decent antenna arrangement set up for wireless BB at home, I will get a cheap chinese android pad as soon as they get a proper tablet O/S and forget desktop and laptop computers for ever. i only browse, download music and play with photos and write stories these days
