THE BUGA ALMANAC OF C&E BLINDNESS
« on: February 15, 2010, 04:42:29 PM »
ok groovers ill set the ball arollin with a not to painfull tale of "how could i not see that comin".used to hav an XP ute that started weeping out the brake master boot end & woz dribblin into the footwell.so stuck a towel into the resevior to soak up the fluid which woz bout 25 years old,a orrible cloudy greeny,brown,greyish colour wiv zillions of teeny weeny aluminium flakes milling around in it where the barrell had worn. disconected brake lines & pulled it off the booster ect ect,woz turnin it round in me hands casually inspecting it an feelin pleased it had come off easily with no hassles or injury when,for some unknown reason which to this day still escapes me why i did ???but i lifted the master to eye height an peered into the line outlet connector hole in the side an then,unthinkingly of course ::)pushed the pedal plunger end in!well i certainly saw it comin then,full blast into my wide open right eye  went a cylinderfull of the aforementioned coloured fluid.alloy flecks n all ???well.the scream that echoed forth from this most foreseeable of action.woz,i am assured,by neighbour livin half a kay away,clearly heard.i remember(now wiv a grin)as i charged up the garden tryin to open my eye i saw throo a hazy distorted blurry opaque view,both my dogs who had been quietly snoozing away spring into mid air, legs goin ten to th dozen,an both land at the same time,n bolt in opposite directions like the devil woz after em:Dtook hours to wash out,could not see for hours. never did that again,an niether should u!     
I,d rather sell my...mum,....than my bedford!!

seemed like a good idea at the time but one of the most painful things i ever did (and has lasting effects) was getting married
Thank god the trouble and strife doesn't like beddies or go on BUGU otherwise .............. ooooohhhh
it's not worth thinking about
If you like it do it, If you like it a lot do it a lot!

after a good thirty years, she under stands why one of the bikes has a solo seat. (so l can get away by myself when she breaths fire)
make it reliable, or smash it with a big hammer
