How to start a motorbike and get road tax: Lesson#84 pt2 sub-verse 6

1)When your bike won't start, take the plugs out and clean them even if
you did this last time you started it and also check the air filter for
good measure[1].

2) Scratch head for a while and decide to use the car to jump start it
even though for a full minute the bike won't even emit a burp.

3) Notice the kill switch is turned off.

Arse.

Bike started:

1) Get on bike and go to post office with insurance document and MOT
certificate.

2) Stand in queue for nearly 40 minutes.

3) Get told by the woman I need my logbook as I was taxing it without a
renewal slip.

Arse.

Ahhh....

Bugger.

IRCBFA to go out again but in fairness it was lunchtime before.

<Thinks>

Nah, fuckit. I'll do it tomorrow.

 

Post at 14:38........you slacking work-shy ****.
Oh, and thanks for the NG recognition for a job well done you wanka.

That's me. I wouldn't have been a driver if I relished hard work.

I'm waiting for the photos, you king sized piss-flap.

 

Do you have a photo of Robbo drilling and filling your hole with
concrete?

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, BGN belched forth and ejected the following:

No, 'cos I did most of the drilling. Robbo started the holes but it was
I that got stuck in.

Good it was.

I congratulated him afterwards in a pub in Hampstead inbetween him
ogling beautiful women walking down the road.

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, Whinging Courier belched forth and ejected the
following:

Bad form but I should really point out that it would've taken fucking
*ages* without his help and it is appreciated.

SDS drills do indeed rock, as does the bitchin' ground anchor that was
put in with it.

Cheerso Robbo.

We'll have to make a day of it and go somewhere posh next time. That
place was a bit scruffy for me

2.5) Fry regulator / rectifier by jumpstarting off car. At least thats
what happened when I tried same on my old 9R. The penny finally
dropped 2 fucked batteries later. Worked out to be quite expensive in
the end.

Oh dear.

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, SimonM belched forth and ejected the following:

I had the nous to attach/detach the jumper cable at regular 5 second
intervals.

Oh dear indeed.

I had the AA go out on a "wild goose chase" when my R850R[1] broke down.
It took them ages to turn up but with about 5 minutes to spare I noticed
the bar muff had flicked the kill-switch and that's why it died at the
lights.

The office wasn't impressed.

[1] Old, crap despatch bike.

 

You wish !

The "Technician" spotted and started the holes, the "Navvy" did the spade
work and got dirty

Ho Yuss. Simple but effective

That *you* did, and that *we* did.
Posh Totty, spoiled only by the fact they were all obviously lessers!

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, RW belched forth and ejected the following:

I enjoyed being the navvy for the day.

Face it. They *dream* about getting a bit of rough but couldn't possibly
face it IRL so I do concur.

 

Simply shouldn't happen, unless the reg/rec was on its way out anyway.
You didn't wreck it, the penny-pinchers did that for you.

Possibly a coincidence, but I won't be jump starting a bike off a car
again for a while. The bike had an enforced 3 month lay off due to the
outcome of this little episode

http://makeashorterlink.com/?C33A130CC

The shit datatool alarm discharged the battery and I took the lazy
approach to getting it started again rather than taking the battery
out and trickle charging it. Bike was fine before this so (two new
batteries later) I put 2 + 2 together and assumed that the jump start
did for the rectifier.

 

Bad form yada yada.

Yes.

 

Ah.

I assumed it wasn't.

Hohum...

It's a case of they want a bit of rough in bed, but want a posh **** to
take them out where their equally snooty tarty girlie lezzer friends can see
the latest Porsche owning numpty they are shaggin.

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, RW belched forth and ejected the following:

Ah, no. They won't get posh with me. I'll fart in bed and everything.
They'll either learn to love it or they'll (eventually) **** off.
