I understand if they Pass the required inspection they go back into service for another 10 years. That's the situation with LPG Tanks in vehicles. Number of cycles matters in aircraft Hulls. That's related to metal fatigue. With hydrogen you get embrittlement of the metal. Nev

Motivation I would say, How would you know they had the ready money? Maybe they borrowed it? Nev

Before a bottle is refilled its inspected and tested. IF you don't use much, you miss out on the Inspections and are being charged for something you aren't getting.. Acetylene is more complex than Oxygen. (more Unstable) and risky. .Nev

The main mod is the rear hub (and brake) and the 21 inch front rim I can't see what the Hoo Hah is. He's not hurting anybody and it's his bike. Today you can easily spend enough on a WLA to have way more money invested in it than you will ever get for it... The best way to get a good one is to buy a good one. There's no shortage of them here. Later restorations may have non original parts. I've never seen a non original part that was superior to an original. The latest repro mudguards have become acceptable for quality and look. As I said the original star hubs used on the rear have been all used up. There are repros at a cost that are OK but don't have the "Look". That seat was very IN with the civilianised WD surplus bikes the went on the road just after the war . The seat sits further back than the Military one does. I have a mate who has on still in the crate.. They were treated with tropic proof Waxes to inhibit them from corrosion. Nev

The original star hubs are running out. They are 85 years old. Nev

It's somebody's idea of desirable. Why even THINK of having a Law against it.? It's only a consumable and they are not rare or very quick. . USA is a bit hooked on chrome. It will Probably run OK for years. Nev

Of course we have "Some" good politicians .You find out if you Look hard who they are, but that's not fashionable. We don't live in a Perfect world, especially Lately so to expect an easy ride is not reasonable in such circumstances. There's a few complete drop Kicks Nev.

To build a car from new Parts would cost more than 10 times what a new one costs. A six year old car not serviced properly could be not worth owning at any price. No good if it's been near salt . Once it has no warrantee you never know when A big bill will hit you and often with some brands Spares are not easy to find new. Once a car has become unreliable it's not worth keeping Parts also fatigue. like in aeroplanes. Plastic gets Brittle. Upholstery looks shabby. Shock absorbers stop working properly. Discs get too thin. CV Joints wear. Paint goes off in the sun. Wiring loom rubber ages and copper wire gets brittle. Discounted superceded cars can be a good deal.. Engine reconditioning is nearly extinct these days. A "cooked" Motor is junk. Get a good vehicle and service it meticulously. Make sure the thermostat is always working. Nev

Not a good look, even IF they don't fix the Potholes themselves.. Bad principle. The roads break up because they were never designed to carry heavy traffic and water gets in under the edges, softening the Underburden.. Australia has a lot of roads and not a lot of people to pay for their upkeep.. Nev

as in "Atomic" that Trump reckons will tackle Hurricanes and take IRAN back to the stone ages... That's WHEN the USA Made great stuff. Nev

The greatest powerplants ever would be the Miller-Offenhauser 8* ** Drake line of engine development in the US from the 30''s till the 70's. Very worth a look up and read. I worked on an Offy in the mid 50's. I wonder what that would be worth today. No head join to fail. .Nev

Too much mass of metal per person. Crook brakes and soft suspensions and under tired. Heaps of gleaming chrome.. Mid 30's stuff would do more miles than most others though. Few had decent oil filters or Air cleaners.. Nev

In the States, that works. Gold is God. Greed is good. They even invented a religion (Cult) for it. Pentecostals. Nev

The Least likely party to do that is LABOR with their historical Union Connections. They would lose a lot of members if they did. That's not hard to work out.. I doubt R.G.Menzies would have done it either. It's not a good look and HE had principles. Nev

Just what do LIARS say that could/should be believed? Proper Parties have rules about what Policies they have. There is NO stability at Present or likely with the Hanson/Ashby dictatorship. History repeating...... 30 years. Promises there are just Words borrowed from Trump and Farage and various criminal Nazi's. They have Piles of cash to run court cases. SHE Reads her Speeches, (written by Ashby). Donors expect a return on their Investment. That's who she will be standing up for. Not the Underdogs and poor people. Nev

I doubt It's real or legal. You can't trust the News these days. At Present Australia is a lot different to the USA. When Hanson gets in it won't be.. Nev

To Profit from providing deliberate Misinformation is FRAUD and is a crime. . Nev

WHAT News? THAT seems extremely UNLIKELY. Nev

NO one has YET said where they would rather be ( as I asked earlier on.) Surely the question is quite straight forward. IF you think Trump is BAD, Pauline is his greatest admirer outside of the US,. OME, anyone can check how WE are Performing compared with the REST of the World but that would ruin their case. Nev

And where do they get their information From? Murdock and now overseas BOT's? If they checked things out Australia is right up with the best economic performers in the world. Still got triple A ratings Inflation in control Adequate fuel reserves. Just tell ME were all you whingers would rather be living right now, if it's so hopeless here. Nev

The bigger Motor is already not well balanced. Increasing it's capacity and revving higher won't make it nice. Nev

It's always about him.. Nev

40 Nev

They have just brought out a New More Powerful model, 40 HP. Nev

The sky might fall in chicken Little. Nev
