Regular old stop sign manglers.  

Definately a job for a baby Geep.



*edit to add*  <--  Is bored tonight as well.   :roll:
Every zero you add to the tolerance adds a zero to the price.

If the product "fails" will the product liability insurance pay for the "failure" until it turns 18?

So do you work on train engines too, GeeP?

GeeP

Heavens no!  I like working under a roof, even if it is without heat most f the time.  I just like the little geeps.  Kinda like the GS.  Small and pathetic, yet so loveable.  (Have I been reading too many of Cernuos's posts lately?   8) )

That, and being a runt I know I'd get the bad jobs.  Crawling around inside a crankcase in 6" of oil would be one of those jobs.   Yeah, it isn't nice.  They provide nice little 9" by 14" ports just for the purpose.    :?  :x

Riding in the Outback, those things are a constant hazard.  They have ABSOLUTE right of way.

I blame yama, he started bringing back dead threads one day. and then someone commented if an older thread could be found. so now when i'm bored, i just cruise around the dead threads.

I see dead threads!!!

Try riding or driving behind one of the cattle road trains. The stink almost makes you wretch.

i was thinking that, and behind one doing 15mph on a blind hill where you cannot pass it. damn right they have the right of way.  those things can demolish a house let alone a moto or car

He was probably wondering where the "rain" was coming from...and there wasn't a cloud in the sky... :icon_mrgreen:

They use those Mamoet units up in Fort McMurray, AB to get some of the large vessels up there...they usually move them at night so there isn't much traffic...and we have upto 3 trailer road trains here in Alberta, but six...holy crap, that would suck to have to pass...and how do they back up?  I don't even think I could back up with two trailers, never mind six... :dunno_black:

Later.
