  1. I agree Daniel Craig, was the best action bond and a far more rounded character, not a shallow cad like Moore or a more serious but still brutish and chauvinist Connery. The best old Bond was in my humble opinion, is George Lazenby a school mate of my dad in Goulburn. Lived a block from each other, he was a playboy in real life and didn't play the studio game nor want to be stuck in a role. Pity he was offered to continue in the role for more bond films. He was the Bond that was not brutish to women, showed his emotions and married only to see her killed at the end. Much more the Daniel Craig character but back 50 years. I am still a Connery fan but never saw a Moore film I liked.
  2. True but Sean Connery looked the part, not Roger Moore.
  3. Keep the beautiful heritage sites for public use not seel cheap and make billions for untaxed private profit . Start taxing properly and it would not be a problem.
  4. It was the Aston Martin DB5. Don't worry the passenger will be nervous anyway.
  5. Let's not forget the French bombed the Rainbow Warrior. But that's the past...
  6. Looks suitable for mad Max chariot
  7. Here is a perfect example of why the tank needed help. This Ass is wearing a thong
  8. What images like this?
  9. Still riding after more than 40 years and still never had a bike accident on road and only a few falls offroad- worst bent a clutch lever. That includes racetrack fun and even been a Monkey on a ballistic racing LCR sidecar. Current beasty is a 167hp BMW k1200R, only 121,000 km so well run in. For it's 21st birthday it's getting a diff rebuild as a O ring was leaking, plus new rubber and rear disc. I got through the early silly years by always having a mature attitude to my skills development and knowing every car is probably trying to kill you. I always use the Piano principle- "unless a piano falls from the sky and hits you in the back of the head - I should have seen it coming". No amount of skill overcomes a poor attitude.
  10. Let's not forget the only army that actually scared the Japanese and German soldiers were Aussies. And the first to stop both in their tracks. Same as Vietnam war, the Vietcong were shit scared of the small group Aussie patrols. The yanks were just hopeless. Movie and TV from US is generally propaganda eg U571 a bullshit movie about yanks getting the Enigma machine first when it was the British. Or the recent series Landmen which glorifies oil. Or Topgun heavily subsidised propaganda by the military. The list goes on...
  11. My first was Honda Elsinore 350- the first 4 valve single enduro bike, a 73? Model. I was a small 13 year old and it had huge compression and no decompressor lever, as such a absolute bastard to start, a renowned ankle breaker from backfires. My first legal was a Yamaha RX 125 smoker then a RZ350R ex Swann race series. Then at 21 a BMW R100CS.
  12. Sounds good, a Aero themed bike sounds cool. A Ejector seat is a great gag, when racing a sidecar it certainly felt like you would be ejected if not hanging on for life as the monkey. A good anvil is valuable, the cheap Chinese cast ones suck and crack easily.
  13. Sweet Mad Willie the beast. A friend did the bikes from the latest Mad Max movie, he is a chair specialist.
  14. I had a english wheel, great machine but not needed to do guards or any other part to a good quality. A basic stump ground into a dish and some basic hammers will do lots. A leather bag of sand or lead is also useful. A guard can be done on a old curved steam pipe or cast large diameter curved water pipe etc. just grind smooth and hammer away. If you have a angle grinder you can modify almost anything to shape metal on, custom hammers are easy. YouTube can basically teach you everything you need. It does not require big bucks and lots of tooling. Given you intend on building a sidecar, you obviously have tools, skills and lots of possible shaping tools hiding as scrape.
