  1. I'm not saying it's NOT a stupid thing to do. Rescuers have to assess what they are attempting also. Some cars doors cannot be Opened in water. A lot who attempt it would make it IF they went slower.. Nev
  2. There are Plenty of places were it's normal to go through flowing water. Depth indicators would help. Fines hurt poor people more than they hurt the rich.. It costs money to enforce Laws, and would not go down well when People are leaving their Houses or trying to get somewhere urgently. Adverts show vehicles going through water as a sales gimmick.. Nev
  3. Education is better than Penalties. Nev
  4. Neither appears to see a problem with killing people. Nev
  5. Yeah Blame the gov't for Not doing everything for you. The More they do the More People expect. What did God give you a BRAIN for? (as my Uncle Reg would say.). And of course WE donna wanna pay the TAX, either. Choose where you want to Live carefully and you will be better off. Bit like flying. You make your OWN luck. Nev
  6. You should be able to work that one out, Pete.. No Vietnamese to Blame. There are criminals in all races. Triads, Mafia various terrorists. Mercenaries. Hit men. Nev
  7. Riding an Outfit is much different to Riding Solo and Many don't like it and don't do it well. There's also a bit involved in setting up the "chair geometry"properly. Riding with Nothing in the chair is not advised. It also Imposes extra load on the frame Tyres and gearbox etc. and you have to alter the Gearing.The Motor will run hotter as well and it needs more Power to get along and up Hills. Braking and Power are non symmetrical . A downhill off camber turn to the Left requires caution. A bike that has a Low centre of gravity will handle better. Lot's of suspension travel makes the whole thing "rubbery". It LEANS too much . A brake CAN be fitted to the sidecar wheel and you can have all 3 wheels interchangeable. A Parking brake is required and reverse gear helps if the thing is weighty. It could be electric as you don't go far OR fast. You CAN carry a lot more stuff and the Passenger(s) MAY stay dry . They were Popular at times when Cars were very expensive. Nev
  8. I thought they forecast drenching rain in QLD mainly on the coast. They don't DO "Air Mass analysis" as well as they used to. I don't reckon anyone at BOM these days would have been able to Pass the Met exam ATPL pilots had to in the sixties and 70's. Today, It's mostly about complying with the requirements to hold or carry an Alternate..Nev
  9. A few just try to remain there and enjoy the "Spoils of Office" and they give the others a bad name. It's not a job I would seek especially IF I was in Qld where Politics always seem to be different. There's No Libs and NP.. They are combined, but in other states it's a Coalition, which tends to not get along with each other at times. Now they are deserting to PHON in considerable Numbers, and there are FEW Women in their Ranks. Nev
  10. There was one bloke in Griffith who ended up disappeared too. McKay? Lost of weed grown there, and No Vietnamese..Nev
  11. Would I Lie to you, OME? Being under trees is not a good Place to be either for a Lightning strike. I've been struck a few times in Aeroplanes. You need to be in the equivalent of a Faraday Cage, Where it's easier for the Lightning to go around you rather than through you. Nev.
  12. OME, you should get rain next Monday. Nev
  13. China made it's own version. They are all more or less derived from the BMW R-38 Even the USA made one to replace the Walla but the Mechanics didn't like working on it. They were "used to" the WLA. Nev
  14. The ALTERNATIVE could not be more disunited. Nev
  15. Darwin has a WET and a DRY season. Not summer and winter. Bit of a challenge getting there (in a plane) sometimes. SPECTACULAR Thunder and lightning in the "wet" season. As well as the Chance of a Cyclone up the NW coast.
  16. He Likes FASCISTS, according tho Mary Trump ( and she should know.). With a friend like trump, WHO needs enemies? Putin sees Trump as the gift that Keeps on giving.. Let's see ALL the Epstein Files. HE didn't commit suicide, either. Nev
  17. You are situated at a spot where you may not get Rain from any direction. Nev
  18. He won't be able to do that. Nev
  19. If they lose the Mid terms a lot will likely want to leave the sinking ship and avoid Prosecution. Nev
  20. Yes. You can do that. Nev
  21. What is the Word of a Proven Liar worth? Nev
  22. Trump is a Traitor who cannot be trusted by anybody. Putin Helped him get elected. Enemy Interference in USA Presidential Elections but that's OK somehow?.Nev
  23. I don't DO farcebook either..Nev
  24. Is THAT moving UP in the World??. MOST of the People on TV are Paid Propagandists. Nev
  25. Without friction, as on ice, you have NO control whatever as to where it ends up. It will go where Inertia and gravity sends it. Have you driven Much in the high Country in winter or a frosted road in the Morning? Even worse on a Motorbike. Nev
