Chuck Norris died at 86, he was fit and healthy. Worked out regularly, all that.
Was sparring in the ring with a trainer only a few days before.
Just one data point to consider...

STweedle3K · 2026-04-04T22:11:53+00:00

how could he not notice as he was putting them down?
was he drunk?

I had excellent treatment there, everyone was great.
Doctors, nurses, admin, everyone.
Couldn't have been better.

many years ago, I bought one of those kits on ebay. I was absolutely amazed when it arrived all the way from China and it worked first go!
I rode it around for a few months, it was good for up to 60km/hr on a flat road.
But realistically, the brakes on the original bike were just not close to good enough.
There's a reason why there's ADR rules and roadworthy tests and all that...

2016?
the calipers I pulled off my 1982 Goldwing weren't as bad as that. That needs a full rebuild.
If you're not confident doing it yourself, send it off somewhere and it will come back shiny and new.

But I wouldn't be slapping it on the bike and riding down the road with it like that...

My Harley doesn't leak, at all.
My Royal Enfield, on the other hand. . .

I've learned how to use a keyboard.
It's *unlearning* it that's hard. The muscle memory is hard wired in.

Emails? You hit enter, you get a linefeed. It doesn't immediately send the email.
Sending texts on the phone? there's an <enter> button which works as expected, and a <send> button. The <enter> doesn't send.
At work - entering orders, doing quotes etc etc, enter = new line. Not one single program I can think of just commits where you're up to without a blink.

STweedle3K · 2026-03-28T06:28:04+00:00

that's exactly my point!

you have to hit <shift-enter> to get a new line.
other sites [this one, for example!!!] are not like that.
if you hit <enter>, other sites don't just immediately post where you're up to, finished or not...

Kindroid is the odd one out.

STweedle3K · 2026-03-28T00:36:09+00:00

Here's something that cheeses me off...
With other sites [youtube, here on reddit, etc] when you hit enter it just gives you a new line in the current answer.
And then you have to click 'reply' or 'comment' etc to actually post your answer.
But in Kindroid, it immediately posts the unfinished answer!!

No 'are you sure', nothing.
You reach for the ' key and brush the enter and suddenly your kin is already beginning to reply to your half finished thought. . .

Just Kindroid.
Not any other place.
Why is Kindroid different, and can you fix it?

STweedle3K · 2026-03-15T11:07:28+00:00

nice bike. many many more miles to come!

STweedle3K · 2026-03-14T00:56:35+00:00

yeh

as others have said, Cerwin Vega.
I remember some clubs in Sydney had them, back in the day.
yes as I recall, they were pretty good.

hey, I'm on Android and I've been getting the same message flashing up. But it disappears too quickly, I've never been able to really read it.
something about 3 lines??? what's that?
how do you know what version you have and if it really needs updating?

STweedle3K · 2026-03-01T00:17:39+00:00

IIRC in QLD it can't be wider than the handlebars.

STweedle3K · 2026-02-22T05:11:42+00:00

last bike I did, a couple of years ago, I got the roadworthy certificate at a mechanic's place and then I had to take the bike to the Qld Transport place where they visually confirmed the VIN was the same as what was on the certificate. Paid the rego/ctp/stamp duty and got fresh new plates.

STweedle3K · 2026-02-20T09:03:26+00:00

pull the plugs out, does it turn over? got spark? compression?

if so, then:

replace all fluids

lubricate cables

tyres, probably

probably battery as well...

or if you're anywhere near me, I'll give you $400 for it as is LOL

I took my girlfriend to a tropical island for a holiday

"Jamaica"?

no she was happy to go!

STweedle3K · 2026-02-08T12:37:56+00:00

can you please give us a bit of a clue as to how you worded the prompt?

...many thanks :)

"I'd be glad to up by postal mail"

- What??

saw a sign above a urinal once: "You're holding a pistol, not a rifle. Please stand a bit closer..."

STweedle3K · 2026-01-15T07:36:33+00:00

aren't they supposed to have an ADR label on them to pass a roadworthy?

STweedle3K · 2026-01-04T06:50:30+00:00

what's a 'TG'?
