Friday lunch prattle

[Bushmiller]

Good to catch up with the attendees.

I was interested to hear Phil's good news story with trojan glues. There are some great people out there.

Not like my latest experience where I purchased a 50mm stainless steel burner for an LPG torch for about $55 plus postage which came to $68.85 The next day I received a refund with the reason being given that the product was either out of stock or damaged. I thought this odd as there had been ten available. Had there been a sudden rush to buy or were they all damaged by vandals or driven over by a passing army tank? I looked up the listing and sure enough there it was with ten available still.... At $99

On a more palatable subject. Here is Peter Hickman's record lap of the Isle Of Man TT race in 2018. 37miles in sixteen minutes 42 seconds for an average speed of over 135mph. As I mentioned in our hookup, his commentary is very articulate for some body who has very few brains, but testicles that would not look out of place on a rhincocerous. Nobody with brains would do what he does .

Just for comparison this is a Subaru WRX STI on the same course. Not quite standard as I think it was putting out about 600bhp. It was nearly a minute slower.

The Subaru tops out at just over 175mph with the bike maybe 185mph?

Exciting.

If you are a bike man, you should go.

A small group gathered today and had a fun enjoyable time.

For those that think we just talk serious about the topic and wood may be surprised how the topics shifted around today.

You forgot the 10 minutes of NBN-bashing that ensued after I had to leave and rejoin the Zoom conference due to the obvious inadequacies of said network.

It was a small group but a lively conversation and much information was exchanged.

This has been on by bucket list for a few years now, am addicted to viewing on YouTube, fingers crossed can get there next year....!

Sorry to hear that work gets in the way and it's a shame you can't make it.
