Probably the right call on each bike, I didn't ask. Seemed like there was a lot of cross-purposed MX bikes with Yamaha being the bike of choice.

On my way out, there was a trailer coming in with what looked like a couple of old XS Twins.

Drunk one night. I invented the Spoyster Sandwich. I don't recommend it.

Don't think so; I would expect a python to kill me, so if it did what I would expect, I think that's just called a bit of a bast4rd of a day.

I'm hoping the "Sp" part doesn't refer to spam; that would never work.

Default OK , nailed it.

Situational irony is much harder to do than verbal irony (which most of us do everyday)

So I think ironic would be

"Sitting in the restaurant, tucking into your Python steak and getting a call on your cellphone.

Prince Charles telling you he has nominated you for an OBE in the Queens Birthday honors list.

For your outstanding work in the protection of threatened and endangered species"

Wooferdog, we pay about 1 quarter the price for 'Roo here but I guess when it hops down the main street, it's a little closer to home

If you buy some, the trick to cooking good. lean 'roo meat is have it RARE

The rarer the better!

Used to cook 'roo steaks every weekend for my son.

Shame really, 'cause our kangaroos are such clever buggers!

I can never understand why you guys ended with Julia Gillard as Prime Minister when Skippy would clearly have done a better job.

I'm getting the feeling that we're progressing into terrible "remote mining camp" territory here. I think I might just go to bed and see how this pans out tomorrow.

XS650 starting from 1970-72. 1973 &1974 were TX650's and then back to XS form 1975-83.

You can rephase them to 273° by rephaseing the crank (you need a press), rephasing the points (you need a drill and bit) and $$ new rephased cam.

Don't play this clip unless you plan on looking for a XS/TX650 and spending $1,500 to rephase it. Seriously!
