Blackbird - ancient technology

[andyBeaker]

Just realised that my Blackbird is sooo old and I can replace with something cutting edge - ABS, sophisticated multi point injection, traction control, etc.

Any reason why I shouldn't consign to the drawer in the utility room with all the other ancient technolgy like MP3 player???

Very worried what other people might think of my 'not 2011 technology'.

Ask em what they sit on to crap.. If a china bog ask em why the are still using 17th century technology rather than a stainless steel jobby with water jets rather than toilet paper !

In other words, it is a matter of personal preference.... so there

So WTF do you need a Samsung Galaxy GT 19000??

Cos unlike you, I am not technophobe, I do not suffer from future-shock and actively embrace new technology as it becomes available IF:

1) I have an interest in it

2) I have a use for it

3) the old technology no longer floats my boat

4) I am insecure and spend all my time worrying what other people might think of me

If it aint broke dont fix it!! :dunno: so why did YOU buy a bike that over ten years old design wise Andy ??

 

[Jaws]

Now why would I worry about what others think !
1) I rarely get out

2) I have ( virtually ) no mates

3) Mates are replaced with toys

4) I do not have to worry about annoying people in cattle trucks.. sorry.. trains, as you would not catch me in one of those disease ridden mobile infection centres if you paid me, so no one really to impress

Anyway, is not the case only the great unwashed use pubic ( not an error ! ) transport ? Why would someone of such high status feel it necessary to travel with the hoy palloy ?

Ah but, John. You have hundreds of "virtual" mates.:-0)

I promise you that I only use public transport when there is absolutely no alternative.

Ironically, this makes me the most reliable person in my office for getting to work 99.99% of the time.@tu*

Apart from when I have to walk and slip over damaging my knee..

Worked for a company in Luton in the late 80's fitting loads of stainless bogs in Vauxhalls factory. All wall hung with ducts behind for all the plumbing, we mounted them and plumbed them all. Made good around all the pipe connections through the wall.

Last job, fit the seats.........bugger, only access for the fixings was from behind8rfl@. While we pondered how to fix the seats, one of the older guys went and got a huge tube of arraldite and glued them all on. No idea how long they lasted.

Ask em what they sit on to crap.. If a china bog ask em why the are still using 17th century technology rather than a stainless steel jobby with water jets rather than toilet paper !

Oi! are yoos callin me Bird a shite 'ouse man (in a Geordie accent)man8um

I use the blackbird cos they aint got anything better yet.
If you cant use your hands or feet then the abs and traction control would help you.
