It is a shameOriginally Posted by walpurgis
That said, they were a bit lively to say the least. I rode a tuned RGV500 many moons ago and it scared the life out of me
The "Unrideables" series is well worth a watch if anyone thinks "it's just a 500, how hard can it be to ride".

I had a Kawasaki KE90 trail bike about fifteen years ago. Fun little thing it was.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

A bit of a strange one.
My Peugeot Partner 2.0 HDi broke down last week and had to be towed home. Luckily I was only four miles away. The RAC guy said he thought it was the injector pump and I could see what he meant. There was fuel up to the pump, but no further. The car started up briefly on a squirt of 'Easy Start', but would not even fire without.
I asked the local car repair guy (based 50 yards from me) to take a look . He wasn't free until today and managed to take a look at it this morning. After trying all sorts of methods, including firing up on 'East Start' again, he plugged a diagnostic device in, checked readings and said "have you got another key". I had and fetched it. Tried to start the car and it fired up straight away.
Seems the key I'd been using had lost or corrupted its memory. Never heard of that before. Weird! Everything else like the starter motor, windows and central locking worked OK with the suspect key and the battery in it is only six months old.
Anyway. I got off lightly, the mechanic didn't charge me (I know him well). I had visions of a bill for hundreds of pounds. Now oddly, the bad key is working again. Maybe it reset itself after the car was started? Blowed if I know.

Could have lost sync... watch it doesnt happen again,.. the re is a transponder in there that could be going down. youd then need a new key made.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
