  1. They have just brought out a New More Powerful model, 40 HP. Nev
  2. The sky might fall in chicken Little. Nev
  3. I do see them as a mode of transport but some of them would piss me off mightily in a short time. The heavy steering with a lot of bump sensitivity. Crap brakes, wheel shimmy. One way shocks on corrugated roads lots of unsprung weight. Heavy shuddering clutches. 6 volt electrics . Lot's of Body roll when cornering No crash resistant steering wheels or Panels and so on. They don't make them like they used to and I'm glad of that. Nev
  4. People Have very different expectations for the Bike they choose. Personally I don't like an engine speed clutch (Clunky gear changes) or a Motor that rotates about the fore-Aft axis. (Gyroscopics) and I'm NOT wrapped in shaft drive or expensive plastic covers that Have to come off to get at everything. Four cylinder in line often have tingly annoying vibration Periods.. Some engines cook you when at lights or slow speeds in traffic. Some bikes are heavier than necessary and are too high in the seat for smaller people. Watch spares costs. Some Makes are outrageous and the Parts not in stock. Nev
  5. When you get back into some of these cars you lusted after in a Past age you realise how far we have come with modern cars and they are relatively Cheaper as well., Nev
  6. It's a STATE election, and there's usually a Protest component of such votes. Nev
  7. It's very old and I couldn't see the Point of it when it wasn't old. Didn't Churchill say "Never in history has so much been owed to so few?" I respect good pilots. You don't get your ticket out of a Kelloggs Cornflakes Packet. and you can't fool someone who knows flying that you can fly well when you can't. Nev
  8. Of Course what the rest of the World THINKS matters. No one can TRUST his word. THAT affects everything ALL He produces is Chaos and disorder . More as his position becomes More precarious. Nev
  9. Didn't you learn what a dud was in the Army? HER team is unstable. They can't even agree amongst them selves. IF they got into Power how would THAT work? Nev

  11. The rest of the World will Make up it's mind about Trump (AND the way the USA works). Nev
  12. You learn that on a push bike before you can stay on at all. It's near imperceptible at speed. At those angles He's coming off. Nev.
  13. You'd only Just be in Primary school then. . Nev
  14. XM and XP Falcon utes sell Ok. to do up. A 69 Mustang would be Ok with Me. You can buy just about everything for them new... Look up latest Mazda MX 5 hardtop. 2 litre. Nev
  15. The Motor in the Plymouth Cranbrook is a very ORDINARY side Valve Motor same as in Dodge , Chrysler and and Desoto stuff of the same ERA. The same basics were used in the Checker Cabs. . Cheapest USA car Motor to recondition but not much economy or Grunt. Packard made Some of the best build Quality US cars. 56 Chevs are Popular. Nev
  16. I have to disagree. To me it looks all wrong. Nev

  20. I don't know. To me it looks as if he's coming off. . Nev
  21. Opening the throttle can cause all sorts of unpredictable things IF you don't know what you are doing. Best way to lean to ride is Off road and when you are young. Anyhow is Our 2 party system just a Con. Well it's NOT a 2 Party system and whether YOU are conned is up to you.. Frazer said "Life wasn't meant to be easy". Nev
  22. Stop trying to make "Old Stuff" New again and Paying people to do it. You are at their Mercy. Modern consumables have a finite life and lot's of it is not really meant to be repairable economically. Often more money is made by the sellers than the Manufacturer of the product... Nev
  23. The Dems don't control the media and Trump is the rich people's choice. Nev
