Correct me if I'm wrong but in Richo's last pic it looks like a std 10gall fuel tank vent pipe or could it be the sender unit wire on the rear panel behind the seat.

well spotted dave...that pic tells the tale...mad mikes first cuz...

I remember reading about that they finished one particular head brang it out front slamed it down on the counter and some one said "Yella Terra" refering to the head and that suposadly stuck in Harrys or Daves mind,
From there the name of Yella Terra was bourn.

^^^ LOL. Funniest thing I have heard in a while. Maybe it was Shane Bourn or could it have been Jason Bourne, nah, he's too young.

Dave tells the story of how the YT heads got there name in the AMC article about him. It's along those lines, but that's not it.

I've been penning this for a while now.
I admit it is a tad mean spirited of me but hey, I can't by and endure Richo's posts any longer - sorry.
The funny thing is I am not cruelling his content - I for one wouldn't have a clue as to the veracity of his comments.
Cheers, TB

...he cant spell...

Hello pot...this is kettle. Can you appreciate what you have done to our language lately, as evidenced in most every post you have made here? Don't answer for this is called a rhetorical question - yes, you'd better look that one up.

To be clear, I am indeed all for the English language evolving, growing and modernising - it is not Latin after all - and will morph no matter what the beardy types have to say about it. And I am not by any means aligned with the grammar police; you see, I just used the word 'and' to start a sentence as an example of my contemporaneous outlook - not that you would have realised the historic indiscretion in doing so.

Regardless, those in glass houses ought not cast the first stone... or in your case, any number of stones when punting folks for poor spelling - you of all people are kidding right? Eh, another rhetorical question just in case you wondered... yep, like I said, go look that one up.

We are not talking typos here; we are all want to do quite commonly, no less myself. Rather, it seems you have an arsenal of the darned abuses at your call... Make no mistake, I couldn't give a rat's arse about what you own, or if indeed it is actually what your mate owns but which you now claim to be your own, nor the provenance of the same, nor otherwise by any means - it is all none of my interest, concern or business. However, given your hypocrisy, I can only enquire as to what spelling, grammar or prose has ever done to affront you to abuse them in they way that you do? Yep - look up the word 'affront' whilst you are looking for 'rhetorical' - right after you reach for the dictionary for the first time in decades... or might that be, ever?

I apologise; 'dic·tion·ar·y' is a reference book containing an alphabetical list of words, with information given for each word, usually including meaning, pronunciation, and etymology - don't worry about that last one... or maybe even the second one.

And no, this is not an elitist or classicist tirade - you are making an argument for goodness sake, and so the very best you could do to assist your cause would be to mount a well constructed and coherent text, let alone one that might be grammatically correct God forbid! After all, English is only your and this forum's first bloody language after all, and so may I suggest or indeed assert that you ought to use it properly before you assault others with criticisms like those made by you!

Sorry; assert
as·sert v. as·sert·ed, as·sert·ing, as·serts
1. To state or express positively; affirm: asserted his innocence.
2. To defend or maintain...oh, forget it!

Jeepers, get your writing in order man - your message regardless of the merit it might contain is being lost from the get-go. It is doing my head in - more than this puritanical 150 membership some cling to! I am by no means an educated person, nor am I employed in teaching the English language, and I am certain there are many more here who are more significantly more qualified than will ever become to comment on the subject - I assume those folk are either wiser, weary or amused from this and similar debates they have not interjected. However, in my long-standing forum memberships, I have yet to see a fellow member who routinely and reliably ridicules the public education system such as you do, and whom notwithstanding their skills-gap, subsequently provides a terse commentary toward others for the same conduct.

In terms of a dictionary, I suggest to you the Macquarie Dictionary - the Australian vocabulary dictionary found at your local...oh, forget it, like you have ever been to one. That is all.

It hurt my head writing it Bomber - that is the best I can do mate - like I said - I am by no means a literacy genius.
Just that poor Richo's posts were beginning to annoy and his shot at another for poor spelling just tipped me over.
Sorry for the verbose offerings - never knew I had it in me - but jeepers it annoyed.
Feel somewhat better now for the experience.
I believe a well versed literary type might call it cathartic even
