1. Before (or during) your next meeting, seminar, or conference call, prepare yourself by drawing a square. I find that 5″x5″ is a good size. Divide the card into columns-five across and five down. That will give you 25 one-inch blocks.

2. Write one of the following words/phrases in each block:
synergy
strategic fit
core competencies
best practice
bottom line
revisit
take that off-line
24/7
out of the loop
benchmark
value-added
proactive
win-win
think outside the box
fast track
result-driven
empower
knowledge base
solution
touch base
mindset
client focus
paradigm
game plan
leverage

3. Check off the appropriate block when you hear one of those words/phrases.

4. When you get five blocks horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, stand up and shout â€œBULLSH1T!â€

I'm still trying to work out how I managed to post this here rather than on the words you love to hate lol

Feck me I've been working way to hard lately and finally losing the plot

Yep bullshit bingo, been happily playing it for years. Problem now is that I have to chair certain meetings and I cant help wondering how many of the room are crossing off words as I speak em

Rear wheel (black) + sprocket + disc + spindle

Power commander (no instructions and no pwer connector).

Full set of bodywork in OK condition, will need respray

Set standard cans.

Hi Jag
The power commander lead is just a std Mini USB to USB lead available from any good electrical retailer and all the instructions and software is free to download at powercommander.com along with a good dozen or so maps to play with.
Don't do yourself down on price on those grounds

Disconnecting the PC from the electronics was easy. The connections were easy to get at.

However there is another two wire connection, which connects into the loom somewhere behind the LH radiator. I couldn't be bothered to strip the whole thing down (too bloody cold for one thing!) so I just cut it as close to the end as I could. Having done that the bike wouldn't start, so I soldered the two wires together, protected them with shrink wrap stuf and everything worked fine.
I'm assuming therefore that its some sort of power connection, maybe linked into the ignition.

The bike had much more bark and was more reponsive to throttle opening without the PC, but then the whole reason for having it was to tame the bottom end so that it could be ridden through town more easilly.

Not sure how much its worth. I'm thinking Â£50????

Logged onto the Kawasaki Owners site a couple of days ago. The response has been "muted". More accuratley bugger all, so I'll stick aroun d for a while if I'm allowed.

In any case youngest son's mate has a Storm. Some of you (Pete perhaps) might remember him. He was the guy who joined us on a run a couple of years ago with a 400 Baby Blade. So I'm sort of qualified.......

I hope this pic works............

Of course you'll have to stick around!!!

Hell, we've even let Harley riders stay

Â£50 is more than fair. They're Â£270 new. I'd expect someone to snap your arm off at that price or at least raid their kiddies piggy bank

I remember the run well. You and you lad showed me the way home without touching a motorway after the Storm gathering around Brum. Excellent ride and watching the way the 400 went into bends I was sure he didn't have any brakes

.
I'll see if I can dig out an old pic some where. I also seem to remember some leathers which were louder than most peoples pipes

Pete.L · Post by **Pete.L** » Wed Jan 07, 2009 8:35 am

I new I still had one somewhere.

Jaglifter · Post by **Jaglifter** » Wed Jan 07, 2009 11:38 am

Thanks Pete. Remember it well.

The leathers came from Iggy and I've still got them. Should be about September by the time I can get into them again (if the diet goes to plan!).

Hopefully we'll get to meet up again some time this year.

Pete + Jag,

I remember the lad on the 400 as well, it did'nt seem to matter how quick I exited a corner and gunned it

. I could not seem to put a great deal of distance between us

, he was pretty quick

Do you also remember the "HUMP BACK BRIDGE"

!!!!!!!!!
Bloody hell I though my time was up. Up was the word I went up up up and near over the tank bag, and that was after scrubbing off a fair bit of speed

When we stopped the next time, the lad who was behind me said he never laughed so much, as when he saw me going up up, and nearly away

Then he said it dawned on him that he was next for the jump.

That was a good weekend, mind you the a-se was a bit sore

by the time I got home on the Monday. (no filthy comments from those who make them

).

Can you remember all of those who were there and their names?

Cheers

A.M.
