Our new (leftover 2009) [URL="http://www.southbayriders.com/forums/showthread.php?t=69352"]WR450F[/URL] enduro motorcycle came with a spiffy service manual that goes into extreme detail.

And the weather here lately has been a bit cold and wet.

And we have earned a "[URL="http://www.mersenneforum.org/showpost.php?p=308378&postcount=9"]certificate of proficiency[/URL]" in diesel technology from our local community college.

And we are kind of bored.

And Mrs. Xyzzy allows this to go on *inside* the house, LOL? You know what they say, it's easy to get it apart, a little harder to get it back together. Is she so blithe about the thought of you riding the thing after this little practicum?

[QUOTE]And Mrs. Xyzzy allows this to go on *inside* the house, LOL?[/QUOTE]Of course! It is cold in the garage!

[QUOTE]You know what they say, it's easy to get it apart, a little harder to get it back together.[/QUOTE]We are taking lots of photographs. So far things have been pretty simple but we expect the engine will be a bit more complicated.

[QUOTE]Is she so blithe about the thought of you riding the thing after this little practicum?[/QUOTE]Perhaps our life insurance money is a motivating factor?

I don't know whether to put this in the "Unhappy Meal" thread or this thread. I totalled my car today and walked away with nothing more than a bloody nose. My wife expects me to be pretty stiff tomorrow, but right now I have little pain, although I do expect to feel a little whiplash tomorrow. Someone in oncoming traffic made a left turn and hit them. They were in an industrial van, so that vehicle took little damage. My car, on the other hand, a reliable 2002 Honda Accord, is totaled.

Argh. Happened to us once, too (sans the bloody nose).
Don't repeat our mistake (we were new, unexperienced and in shock) - do go to the doctor! We hope that it would be for nothing!

[QUOTE=Batalov;321698]Don't repeat our mistake (we were new, unexperienced and in shock) - do go to the doctor! We hope that it would be for nothing![/QUOTE]Yes, go to the Dr. Just in case. These modern cars are wonderful at fulfilling their final job. When mine was 'totalled out'. I saw the accident coming and tried to make it less bad. Got out of the car and thought, "It might be a total loss." Spent much of the next 5 minutes helping to calm the person that caused the accident. Everyone was fine.

@Xyzzy: do you have any plans to come to Thailand? A couple of bikes are getting rusty in our yard... We offer free accommodation and the beer... :razz:

@rogue: oh boy!

@Uncwilly: :tu: (for trying to calm the person... I would get nervous and make a full out of me!)

I feel pretty much the same this morning as I did immediately after the accident. If any soreness would have set it I think it would have happened by now.

I was in an RTA just 14 years ago. Only superficial bruising, apparently. The chest pains didn't start in earnest or four or five days and the migraines for 6-10 weeks. I still get migraines on occasion but, thankfully, less often and much less severe on average.

I woke up this morning to 8 completed TF assignments, including 3 factors found. Don't think I've ever hit that before. The GHz-days-saved spike made me smile. :smile:
