So many book jockeys on this forum.

THEY act differently in the same Kind of Way. Nev

Some people are so 'entitled'. I was at Woolies at Brentford Square Vermont at midday to get some bread and sliced meat for lunch. My car was parked in the disabled space next to the entry, (I have a disabled sticker due to all the surgeries and the pacemaker I have had.) This entitled idiot who would have been over 50, had parked his Vespa style motor scooter on the yellow hatched footpath right outside the door, next to my car. I had to walk around him to unlock my door and put my groceries on the back seat. I said, "You can't park there, it's a footpath." He said, "Yes I can, bikes can be parked on the footpath." I said, "When I open my door to get in the car and hit your scooter, it will be your responsibility." He moved the scooter 2 inches and locked it. So I took a photo on my phone as shown below, and after lunch I went to the police station and reported it. What pissed me off more was that the police said all they could do was phone him up and tell him not to do it again. It was a council matter. Scooters and pushbikes can be parked on the footpath, but not registered ones. The trolley boy cane along with 15 or so trolleys and couldn't swing them in the door because the scooter was in the way. You can see the trolleys on the right. I'm going to the council office on Monday.

What a lot of people chose to ride Meets the Approval of their PEER group as a priority for a lot of people. Same for the way they dress. Slaves to fashion. Nev

I looked it up. The name is thought to derive from Troyes, France, a major trading hub in the Middle Ages, with usage dating back to Roman times. A Troy ounce is 31.1034768 grams. There are 12 Troy ounces in a Troy pound, or 373.24 gms. 373.24 grams is approximately 0.823 lbs or 13.17 oz (avoirdupois). .

Venezuelan oil is classed as "heavy sour crude", and is especially good for the likes of asphalt production. It must undergo a lot more treatment to extract the lighter fractions that are used in lubricating oil. Many refineries blend the crude oils from various countries to produce a mixture that is easier and lower cost to refine.

The Rat Bike style is merely another manifestation of the owner's self expression in the same way that choppers or cafe racers were. They are an art form, and it is up to the viewer to like or dislike them, in just the same way the viewer likes or dislikes other other styles of artistic expression. Being an art form, one can dismiss the idea of riding them safely because they are not meant for that function.

Copy of my post in the Putin topic American crude oil is sweet (contains less than 1% sulphur), but their refineries set up years ago were designed for sour crude (>1% sulphur), which is why they need foreign crude. https://www.fuelstreamservices.com/why-the-u-s-cant-use-the-oil-it-produces/

OME, the troy ounce system is used exclusively for precious metals. A standard pound of weight contains 16 avoirdupois ounces, a troy pound weight consists of only 12 troy ounces. Grams are the favoured gold measurement in Australia today, but gold bars are nearly always marked in troy ounces, and troy ounces is the standard for trading in precious metals.

I have never forgotten a quote from a book I read - where the author quoted John Maynard Keynes (the worlds leading economist in the early 20th century), who stated that "gold is a barbarous relic that has no place in a modern monetary system". The author went on to say, "Six leading global economists today, agree with Keynes opinion with regard to gold - they only have to convince six billion people in the world, that they are right, and the six billion people are wrong". 😄

I meant Troy or avoirdupois. I couldn't see which scale of units was used. I never ate my carats.

From the dark recesses of my dark and twisted mind. Therefore, in the current climate of teh information highway, it must be true. If the oil in USA fields is good for everything, what is produced from Venezualean oil?

Logically, No one could be Blamed for what their ancestors did as you had No say in it. Things can be recalled and recorded out of the Context in which the event Happened also. The Bible does have the concept of "ORIGINAL SIN" which I find completely Unacceptable. I mention it in passing as I am Atheist. Fear of the unknown or People who are different is often fostered to stir things up or get votes. There's nothing new in that. JAW JAW is Better than WAR WAR. WAR is MADNESS. The first WAR started over something that today would be settled by discussion. IF the People that DECIDE to go to WAR did the actual fighting there would BE NO WARS.. Life is CHEAP where Money and LAND are Involved. Nev

Sadly, it's probably one of his classier moves, when compared with everything else he's done.

See? Needed again!

Doesn't Trump like taking other people's trophies?

With a RAT BIKE the Only thing clean is the Oil Now and again. Polishing the bike is a NO NO. It HAS to LOOK Unloved. SOME Choppers are a real work of Art. THEY GET Polished, engraved and everything. Nev

Riding a Motorbike safely requires you to be VERY situationally AWARE. Your Speed, Other traffic and the Road surface. You are More aware without a Fairing. Some Bikes can Tank SLAP. I would not OWN one. Don't be too Proud to run a good steering Damper. Bikes are Better bang for your Bucks than Aeroplanes with all the crap that Comes with aeroplanes. Starting LATE with Motorbikes doesn't help. IF you are NOT comfortable riding DON'T Keep doing it. Nev

Maybe we've Groan out of it? Nev
