rev limits?

Gee, all I really said was that you can modify a motor for max power at the cost of minimum life-span. I'm not one to avoid controversy, but I guess it don't take much to stir the pot for some.  That's ok I've got a lot of spoons.

"After a shaky start, I have taken quite a shine to Burns and enjoy his posts, (although not always agreeing with him), his knowledge of bikes, riding and life. I take some comfort in being in his company in your post."

Thank you, Rib for those very kind words,   'tis honored to be in your company I am, Sir.

[JoBrCo]

The only thing that upsets me about your post is that I allowed myself to become engaged in an exchange with you, I would normally, and should have, ignored it but as a retard I sometimes lack the self control.

This is what I was specifically addressing.  I agree with Rib! why?  because I've been there before, on both sides, even.  We are human after all, sometimes we have good days, sometimes bad. Emotion and pride can often get in the way, we can sometimes take things personally, when it has nothing to do with us at all.  Rather it's all about the other one, their bad day!

I'm not condemning Rib in the slightest, quite the contrary!  I see Rib as a good man, and Jr...  well, as Ribs junior, of course.  His nym couldn't be more appropriate, and maybe he knows it, trying to save face, in the face of this FJ community.  Though unfortunately, quite possibly, showing his ass instead, or so it may surely seem.

I agree with Rib (Noel), it's a shame that sometimes we feel we have to argue for the sake of...  not much really.  As the Beatles sang: "life is very short and there's no ti-I-I-I-ime for fussing and fighting my friend, I have always thought that it's a cri-I-I-I-ime, so I will ask you once again..."  (epiphany: I just realized why they probably accentuated the I's in both "time" and "crime," to focus on the root of the problem, namely selfishness, the need to hold oneself "above" all others, due to the "fear" of being "less.")

I loved those guys, they got it right, a lot of the time!

Thanks for all your help "Rib."  (The one that gives the most, wins the most!)   Respect, etc, etc, etc...

Peace my friend!

Oh and did I mention..., Vegemite tastes like crap!

I thought you Aussies grew up on that stuff??   I'm sure it's an acquired taste, that I failed to acquire.  Of course some would call me a pampered American, or maybe a Yank!  I loved my visit to Australia though, both Perth and Sydney, back in the 80's.   At night, back then, Perth was like a graveyard, not a soul in sight, but Sydney was another thing entirely, I was up all night in the "Kings Cross,"  I believe it was called.

I was in the US Navy then, and went to one of your chow halls for breakfast, one of your military bases, and was surprised to see, fish, beans, and some black mushrooms in some sort of mushroom gravy.   So I figured, "when in Rome," and purposely tried everything non-American, because I roll that way, I wanted to be an Aussie for a day.  The mushrooms were great, the fish good, and the beans, well... they were beans.  (Now here in America we don't eat that kind of thing for breakfast, well a lot of us, it's usually eggs bacon and toast, or other various variations.)  But there was no Vegemite, and I knew that song by Men at Work, very well, and wanted to try some.  Until just before we left, we were on the plane, ready to taxi, when lo and behold, just before shutting the main cabin door, an Aussie, at the request of someone on board, handed us a small tub of Vegemite, so when in Rome, I tried some, PLAIN, with no bread or anything, (I heard that it's actually a kind of condiment one puts on a sandwich), anyway, my mouth puckered, and I wanted to find a shitcan quick, but begrudgingly I swallowed it, and I never want to do that again.  But each to their own, more power to them, nothing wrong with that, just a pampered American I was.

I loved all things from the Swan Brewery though!

I think you nailed that one JoBrCo...never tried the stuff myself but from what I've heard, it tastes like shit... and a Rev-limiter? Mine is in my ears and wrist!               Later Jr.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Charley.

My wife is an Aussie and I have tasted Vegemite on toast and sourdough bread with butter. I have acquired the taste and enjoy it. But I am baffled, as Klavdy also points out, how you know what shit tastes like. I have not ever been brave enough to try the actual stuff by voluntary method or been subjected to the involuntary option... My favorite saying from a previous boss: "You look like you were shot at and missed, but shat at and hit...."

[JoBrCo]

You guys don't get it, it was an adventure, it didn't matter what it tasted like, It could have tasted like puke, or maybe ambrosia, the food of the gods, and it still would've been an indelible event, forever etched in my mind, a great experience, to be an Aussi for a day or two.  The more unexpected it was, the more indelible the memory, no matter how senile I become, or so my logic would seem to indicate.

For example if you visit me I'll make you guys an extra thick, 3/4" (19mm), (just the filling), Limburger cheese and raw onion on rye sandwich, which I absolutely love, they tell me it tastes like shit, and I agree, that at least it sure smells like shit.

You'll find I'm a strange one for sure, and the closer to death I get, the stranger I'll seemingly become, as the understanding of the universe, and humanities place in it, finally unfolds evermore, becoming clearer.

It surely wasn't an affront to any culture, I'm so much better than that, so no rescue needed!  It's all about perspective, my friends, all about perspective. And mine's of a man of the world, one that's deaf, dumb and blind, yet senses everything, especially from high above the planet, with all us ants down below, caught in our various dramas, attempting to find meaning, amid the backdrop of infinity, absolute zero, and I get better at it every day. My view of us is, "all inclusive!"    


Peace my friends!

Ok, I've never tasted shit...on purpose, although some of our food I have leaves much to be desired, not to offend anyone just what I've heard.Wanna talk about Rev-limiters?

I was in the US Navy then, and went to one of your chow halls for breakfast, one of your military bases, and was surprised to see, fish, beans, and some black mushrooms in some sort of mushroom gravy.   

Such breakfast offerings are not exclusive to Australia.  Most countries in Europe will offer similar or the same items in a typical breakfast buffet.  As an example, I am in Lodz, Poland at the moment, and the items you mentioned are present each morning in the hotel buffet.  I saw nearly the same two weeks ago in Bucharest Romania, and it's starting to blur together, but I'm nearly certain I saw them or similar in London, Paris, Morocco, Madrid and Even Moscow in the last few months.... 

The Chinese like to have soup, fermented eggs, and doughy dumpling looking things, along with their rice and noodles fro breakfast.   

Just waxing breakfast-related stream of consciousness here.  Carry on.   

cheers,

Upon initial experience, I found the dichotomy of good and bad to be relative, which in fact is always the case, then where does that leave the experience, could ones self serving findings ever be definitive; universal?  In that case or this one?  What is full and what is empty, from any universal; absolute perspective?

Yes Dan, and THAT is what I LOVE about the world, DIFFERENCE! The SHAME is that I've only visited few countries, RELATIVELY speaking.

I've been to the Philippines.  Has anyone eaten a balut (balot)?  I have, after drinking many a Red Horse, not that it really tasted that bad, that I can remember, but I can't wrap my mind around it, like eating dog or cat, though I know it's simply programming, gone awry. And that's about the truth of it!  And even still, that I know this, that my mind has preconceived (programmed) lines that I cannot cross, primarily because of peer pressure, and thus fear, years of practicing them leaves them insurmountable in my mind. Given enough time, and mental clearing, I could eventually transcend.

It's funny when one examines the human condition, or at least it makes one think, if the actual (universal, absolute) truth, matters at all.  And to me it does!  Actually, it's all that matters, to me, at least!

PEACE Dan, I wish I could have dined with you, it sounds truly like an adventure!

In fact, in order for the olfactory nerves to register anything, actual particles of that thing must contact them. Taste is actually 70 to 75 percent smell.  "Who ever smelt it first, dealt it," as well as tasted it first, or at least they tasted 70 to 75 percent of it. and then there is post nasal drip.  Anyone ever hock a loogie?  How about eat a booger?  Don't be too quick to answer now, you gotta go way back, to those days as a snot nosed kid, (and of course it's a rhetorical question).  Though some adults still do, eat their boogers, that is.  And recently I heard that it's mostly men that do.  No, I'm a booger flipper!    So what were you two guys saying?  

Oh and for the record, it was my son that made sure I tasted 100% of piss, yea that little bugger got cold while I was changing his diaper, and he decided it was time to imitate "Old Faithful." And you guys, I'm sure are aware by now, yep, I was yappin' my ass off with his mother.  That taught me, to never be a yappin' while changing a young baby boy, nothing to fear with girls, they just dribble.

Because some of us have eaten "chitlins". It ain't shit, but it's close to it. So to speak.
