I saw a documentary over the weekend regarding the attrocities during the American struggle for Independance. Nasty stuff. Some "elite special force" from the USA came across to my home town (Whitehaven) and tried to blow up the harbour during the war but they didnt seem to mention that. Being a Brit I often sense that the hostility towards us still remains during the 4th july weekend. Like many wars and revolutions the general populace get tarred and feathered with the brush of their rulers. The monarchy in the UK at that time just about alienated all the colonies. The then king didnt even speak much english (first language was german) Just remember we are not all B*r*t*rds just our goverment and soccer supporters Only kidding.....

"You don't frighten us, English pig-dogs!  Go and boil your bottoms, son of a silly person!  Ah blow my nose at you, so-called "Arthur Keeeng"!  You and all your silly English Knnnnnnnn-ighuts!!!" I couldn't resist, this is one of my favorite movies.

I had the side panel off of my KLR the other day and I noticed a sticker stating that the minimum recomended octane was 91. Ever since first posting the whatchoo runnin' question to the list I've been running 87 without any knocking or pinging. Is this sticker a case of the old back-door politics of vehicle manufacturers and oil companies or is there some other reason I shouldn't be using anything lower than 91? dat brooklyn bum _______________________________________________________ Say Bye to Slow Internet! http://www.home.com/xinbox/signup.html
