Not bad - except for the explanation about the dog pegs "getting
shorter"; the actual problem is the edges rounding off...

I never _really_ understood motorcycle gearboxes until I spent an
afternoon with all the bits in my lap holding it all together without
the case and making it change gears...

It's when the output shaft seal goes that you end up with a mes all ovr
the floor of the booth...

how does the rev limiter work? -

Sometimes doing uni work can be practical - Some of you may recall I said I had to do a stats assignment this semester for the master's, so I decided to do it on motogp (cos I was planning on changing jobs and hence didn't want to use work data and besides doing it on work stuff is boring) So....

FS (Wollongong): '81 CB250 (needs work) - 1981 CB250N, black, runs fairly well, but has a number of minor mechanical problems which are cumulatively more of a pain in the arse than I want to be bothered with, since it's a surplus-to-requirements bike, and I don't have time for a project bike. ..

Typical ride to work... - Is it just me? 4wd pulls out in front of me, I honk (fairly long as horn is feeble and maybe confused with mouse being run over if not held on in a sustained sqeek), 4wd stops dead in tracks, I pull up beside and recieve loud verbal abuse for not..

Nice work Victorian government - Have to say it... Most draconian road regulations. Most Easter road deaths. We're not that far behind here in NSW. OK - statistically the above (obvious) implication requires some attention (as does the following) but it appears your glorious leade...
