i borrowed a gixxer 750 from a freind of mine on a reg basis for a few summers and i acctualy took and replaced the rear tire on it when i borrowed it one time cause the chicken strips from him riding it where so bad that the bike was dangerus to ride

 

to notes,

1/we got struck by lightning a few years ago, amasing what it 'fubars' . even stuff thats not connected to the building [i pods]?

2/trouble is with the roads over here they get greasy when it rains the lean over to much 'hit' the chicken strips and your on your a*se,
mind you with so many round'a'bouts [traffic islands]here i tend to get 'c.s' on one side more then the other lol . still not moanin as when it all comes together ther aint nothing like a good ride........take that how you wish lol

It's the third time I've been smashed by lightning, first one completely fried two computers, a printer/fax/copier, a scanner and my modem..................
static discharge can do terrible things to electronics...............[X(]

 

Not trying to sidetrack the Topic.........

Man thats harsh huh.

I have had a computer taken out by lightning once before, when living in Cairns in the late 90's, during the Wet Season... I had a protection board on the power input, but got taken out through the phone line/modem. Destroyed the hard drive. BUGGER.

But 3 times ? Mate you might be offending some one real high up !

 

gulp, im screwed then
