On the warming up cans thing, I saw the result of a can of baked beans after it had exploded in a pie warmer oven.

Blew da bloody doors off, (said with a Micheal Caine accent.)

Yup that gonna smart alittle when it comes to the old " I think its time to try and get the paint off" moment , Personally I agree with the Mincester, on the warm paint thing, never really bothered to check temps but, but put the paint into hot, hand hot wate,r so baisicly if its too hot for the hand its too hot for the tin, I always find it lets the paint mix easier, another "tip" is to stand the can upsidedown for a while before you need to rattle it, lets all the heavy stuck to the bottom of the tin paint come off.

And as for the unprotected sex, well you never got a dose from a pair of boobies did you, and with a pair like them, well you know where you could stick it!

I used to ride about with a group of lads many years ago who had the south of Englands `explosives specialist` among their ranks!
He wasn`t so much a specialist as he was a bl*ody lunatic, would blow up anything for fun.
A typical trick of his was at gatecrashed parties making the oven / microwave go BOOM!
Cans mostly, any cans, but he favoured those with interesting contents, would be put into any device that could heat them up and bring the desired and messy result!
Not the sort of fella you would invite round.
He even spent some time at her majesty`s pleasure for his radical hobby, the phone box he took apart with a motorcycle crankcase (50cc moped) filled with `chemicals` made the national news.
I won`t list those chemicals as anti-terrorism `software` on the WWW is programmed to recognise certain words and gorillas in shades at my door is not something I want.
The old red, metal framed, glass panelled phone box was left leaning at around 60 degrees and had to be replaced completely!
I`m still in touch with him, met him for the first time in around 25 years last October when I attended Brightona.
He still has that wicked way about him, just with less hair nowadays.

You know what would look better than those "acebars"SF?
A set of Laverda style adjustable bars. Adjustable in 3 planes.
Had them on my 650 Katana - nearest thing to clip-ons without being clip-ons.
