Yamaha / Re: My first IT200
« on: December 11, 2016, 11:55:36 am »
I bought a train wreck 465, thing is I knew it was a train wreck when I bought it, (maybe not as a big trainwreck but one none the less) I paid probably a little more than it was worth but that was my choice , I wanted a 465.
It is slowly coming together and will have a full rebuild on the engine. That way it is done and fingers crossed will last another 30 years.
You come across all types of people here, fortunately 99% are great fellas and the 1% that aren't , well you don't see them again.
How good would it be working on the Verandah, can only dream of things like that.

Hey big k, I saw that flip of yours , after pulling and pushing a few bikes out I stood at the top of the hill and watched. Felt a bit guilty but I'd done my bit. Great to see you had a go at it.
My first time also and what a blast.

Hope you're feeling better soon Geoff . Thanks for all the work you did on my pipe recently. You should have just told me to eff off. The pipe is fantastic and here's to a speedy recovery.

I've been watching Fast and Loud on Fox and on the odd occasion have adopted the low ball technique. Needless to say I'm very familiar with the sound of grown men laughing .

I got one from Aldi when their dirt bike accessories went on sale. Seems to do the job. It's the push lever pop up type.

Ignore this if you wish as I'm going to ramble on a bit. Exactly what Husky said. I'll throw my two cents in. I have very fair skin and as a doctor once said to me many years ago, "John , you were born in the wrong hemisphere and its only a matter of when not if".
That filled me with a great deal of confidence, but this set me on a path.
This is what I recommend you do.
Find yourself an aggressive doctor who freaks out at every blotch, red mark or mole they come across. I've shopped around a bit and have come across GP's who are more conservative than they should be. Whether this is lack of expertise in this area or not wanting to overreact to every blemish I'm not sure. I had a mate, correction, I have a mate who like Husky , was worried about a mole on his shoulder, GP disregarded this for several years, mate finally gets second opinion, mole has gone troppo, big cut, big scar, big scare. His shoulder is now one huge scar and he's lost strength in it as well. So get a good GP or Skin Doc who has a plan.
Go to a mole/skin clinic and get them to scan your body with a camera, good ones will scan and photo any spots they are concerned about. I walk in to my doc and he has my spots and blemishes up on the screen to check. He has referred to what he needs to do as gardening, sunspots and so forth are like weeds and need to be constantly clipped and dug out. He is aggressive and considering up 95 % of skin cancer is curable with early detection I'll let him slice and dice his little heart out.
I visit the clinic every 6 months, I'm a little paranoid but considering 6 months isn't a long time in an aggressive skin cancers life I think I'm justified. Check yourself and ask the missus to have a look at the bits you cant see. If they're anything like mine then they'll hound the fuk out of you until you do something about whatever they find.
Sorry to ramble but early detection is the key in most cases, not all , but if your not getting checked then you're doing yourself a dis-service.

Stig, there seemed to be a droning trumpet of some sort constantly blasting out. Didn't get the music on Fox.
Good to hear on again, will definately go.
Coverage was great , down in the pits , interviews, even got a couple of replays of the smackon.

What a great spectacle, I didn't attend but watched it on TV. Got to feel and hope alright for the aussie rider Doyle he was smashed up pretty bad.
Once they got over telling us how good the track was every 2 mins it was an interesting commentary.
Hopefully they have it again next year.
