More realistically: Heavy pair of boots for kicking doors as you are next to them, and a pocket full of rocks for those behind you. Trust me, it works. Jeff--blowing off all of his good karma points so he can ride. P.S. Don't forget about their side view mirrors either

[...] If you can wedge some prawn ("shrimp") shells and guts through the interior air intake grille without them being obvious or you getting nabbed then you can have fun imagining the stench that will eventually pervade the interior. Mister_T

my eyes! they burn! -- i did not need that image...

>Seduce him.

Hey, now. That sort of thing has no place in today's workplace.

>If he turns into a >biker,

he'll probably be one of those yuppie bikers who buys a harley, and goes riding 2x a year, and marvels at all the people who wave at him, and how wonderful it is to have joined this community of people, but never will it cross his mind to wave back...

>think how much more power bikers would wield in the company.

Hey, I wield lots of power. Every single one of these guys knows exactly where to find the tools to assemble their pinball machines/cubicles/chairs. My desk. Hex wrenches, socket sets, screwdrivers (philips or flat), come to momma. ;^) ---o&>o--- Sarah Barwig sarah@...

Sorry Tom, no way. I'll concede I'm a bitter old f*&k looking back at a life of sin and error. My take: From what I know of Gino's unmanipulative nature his career (if he has one) wouldn't benefit from contact with this dick. This guy's an asshole; the worst contingency would be that after Gino's kind overtures he would think they were friends. He would proceed to pester and bore him possibly forever. Gino's not good at telling people to f*#k off; though maybe his wife could step in. Anyway it's only in movies, like that dumb one with Nicholson as a romance novelist, that old or middle aged fools change. Leave conversions to Jesus Christ; that's his job. Bogdan

[...] Then let us live by the motto of the Ulysses Club here in Oz: "Grow Old Disgracefully". Now that I'm a 40yo, I qualify for junior memberships of Ulysses so I might check them out when I'm older and more crotchety. Mister_T

Two things to note, while fixing Daryl's bike. First the cam chain tensioner wasn't loose per se, but I did manage to get a tiny click out of it while tapping on a 1/4" drive extension. Put it back together and then double checked the Balancer Chain Tensioner adjustment, I didn't pull the cover so I didn't use visible light waves to verify that it was tight, However, my X-ray vision allowed me to see what was going on and it was indeed tight. I started it up and tried to listen for the noises that Daryl complained about. HHMMM nothing, did I actually fix something... NAW it couldn't be. With the choke off, it wanted to idle at 500 RPM. HHMMM that's awful noisy and 500 RPM is too low for a stable idle. I cranked up the idle adjustment screw so that the little red needle was just over the 1 on the RPM meter and voila the noise was gone. It was at a stable idle and all was well. I had to test drive it for a while with my new saddle mounted though.... Just to be sure... Simple... no brainer fix, I appreciate the list's input. LaterZ Dash
