That's great! So we do have some kind of interest in motorcycles in common, if absolutely nothing else. Even if not the same kind of motorcycles. I have always had a sneaking admiration for mechanics who can modify things, and as I like motorcycles (and some cars) I see the act of modification as art. I also have a plan for my life and neither motorcycles nor any sort of consumer good will interfere to the extent I have to work a day beyond the age of 50. When I was younger I had a 1000-amp fuse and now, unfortunately, I have a 0.5 amp fuse. You don't hear it much on here but I do detect rumblings sometimes in the Auntie BCF forum. I see what I see and I want what I want. You pays your money you makes your choice. Nothing new about that and what I want isn't that. I will post about a man who never strayed from appearing to be normal, never had dreamy thoughts about anything, at 3am tomorrow. It's not about you (well...) But everyone including you needs to think again about your assumptions. We aren't 14. You have a tendency to casually insult people you don't know. If you're learning welding you must be too poor to get a new motorcycle. You think like this because you are poor. One day you will figure it out and you will also find you never learned anything you were interested in learning, not a language nor maths nor a science nor anything else. And I'll probably be chopping up your MT10 and you will be just as insecure as now.

Are they, though?

I know there's a lot of hyperbole, but just an impression: in your world there are only 2 types of people: liberal arts types, and engineers. The former are all-round useless and don't know anything but liberal arts. They are unproductive. Engineers, brusque, down-to-earth, on the other hand, are responsible for everything good. I don't think that's accurate. There is a lot of overlap. Engineers can't be grouped because a computer engineer can't necessarily design a plumbing system for a house. Also, overlap: engineer can learn French without caring about Baudelaire and without forgetting his mechanical design skills. So if someone is studying French, they might also be able to productively reverse-engineer an engine. An assumption wouldn't work. Additionally, technician occupations (finance, insurance, law, accounts, etc.) are productive in their own way yet aren't liberal arts. And someone who is a retail worker or cleaner is productive yet is neither from liberal arts nor an engineer nor a technician. A politician might be absolutely none of those categories, and unproductive, yet have a plan (e.g. take a bribe, short something with insider knowledge, etc.)

Jeez. Sounds like you don't hang around with engineers, you hang around with d1ckheads.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, every group and I mean EVERY group has nice people, and has @rseholes. The trick is not to give time, attention or anything to the @rseholes.

Also... Dunning Krueger... just sayin'.


These are fair and valid points. But where does making an artistic table top come into it? It doesn't. The idea of making one might never cross the mind of an engineer. Not everything is subject to the Dunning Krueger psychological observation. I saw this artwork once and all it was, materially, was a blank white canvas with black ink randomly flicked and spattered over it. If you let your mind wander you could imagine whatever you liked in that "image". That's an extreme example. But in any case not everyone likes everyone, and that's fine because it's not that deep.

To bring the thread back on topic....

After many fuck ups including booking the van for Monday when he should have been there at the weekend, finding out his account had gone dormant so he couldn't access the money (fixed on saturday so it's a good job we didn't go at the weekend,) student loan still not paid, forgot to buy pillows and him really hating being in the van because the suspension was really hard so he was assuming the crash position every time we went over a bump because it went bang.....


No.1 son is at university and every question home is logistics based.

Daughter #2 returned from a 10 day trip to Canada with a couple of belated birthday prezzies, one of which was a bottle of Crown Royal whisky.
The first sip caught me out a bit, it's rather potent. Wasted

Just got off the phone with Fowlers, I have a chassis number and a much more reliable date, indeed it's booked into
the workshop for PDI and fitment of accessories now. Time to get the Spacker ready to go. Sad Just had a chat and
they are happier having the stock exhaust on it when it comes in. So it's a rush to find someone who can swap them
over in the next couple of weeks. Clocks ticking now but I'll easily get £400+ for the Akra on the used market so
it's worth the expense of a couple of hours labour. I still have the installation guide for the race exhaust so
hopefully that should help the fitter to remove it and whatever brackets and whatnot it has. As far as I can tell it's
an eight bolt job refitting the stock system which is a 1 piece unit with pipe cat and downpipes which mounts underneath
on two sliding fixings.

So doesn't it make more sense to get the spanners out yourself and save that labour charge too? I'm assuming there's some difficulty somewhere?

It does, but I'd sooner not botch something at this late stage so soon before trade in, I'd have to do the job on the
lawn too, I'm sure it would be lots easier if the bike could be lifted.

I think I'd at least have a go. If you come to something too difficult, seized bolt or whatever, you can always just abandon the attempt, put what you've taken off back together.
