  1. USA Used to be able to cause depressions (and has) Inflation and recession is Likely. The stock market and Investment. Hate Uncertainty. Trump creates CHAOS and couldn't give a stuff about any other country unless HE can Make some Money there. Someone should whisper in his ear that you can't take it with you and statues only get shat on. Maybe he should Make Peace with the Pope and arrange a deathbed repentance and sainthood package at a good price. Then caption must Read, "Greatest EVER..... Nev
  2. Unsafe and useless perhaps? No seat Belts either. Just Imagine driving a Long distance and the effect of Winds on their stability. Nev
  3. You can Buy and do corrupt DEALS with Trump. It's nothing to do with Labour costs. Nev
  4. Then you might have to find what facts enabled the Results.? Who owns FACTS? Nev
  5. Or Mop up the gravy. Nev
  6. No punches pulled there. Nev
  7. Often the Dog is Put down as well. Nev
  8. Tocumwal is a bit of a diversion. You'll be Mixing it with Gliders there.. Might be HOT as well. Nev
  9. Why do you think Honda's have a name for Longevity?. Not really true. A lot of models have Known Problems, well known in the trade. They are built to a Price. A lot have Camshafts that run straight in the(as cast) Head Metal and camshaft cam edge crumbling. An Aprillia is a far better crafted bike.. They are Just consumables and don't justify Much Work being done on the Motors etc. Just Look after them, Use them and Know when to sell them. That's the sort of thing they are and don't clean them with a pressure hose. Nev
  10. Ask the same question about driverless anything? It will be sorted out between the Makers and those who put it into service. Nev
  11. Those witnesses were required to Testify under oath. Hanson has no ethics. She dishes it out but has a glass Jaw.. She wants his WA seat. Nev
  12. There's Practically NO servicing needed on a Pure electric car. That "means something" in the Overall Picture.. In a Hybrid, the IC motor gets a fairly hard time. Fuel must be clean and not stale. The car must be electrically alive to run at all. ie start the IC motor. They are inevitably more expensive than a pure ICE vehicle OR an EV. At 8 years most batteries are still 95 % and can be used as storage for Houses etc for years after.. Geely make "straight" EVs. A mate of mine just bought one. Available range is Increasing all the time.. The "early" Prius (Hybrid) were a pile of trouble. The Hondas would hold up semi's on hills . IF you are Just trying to save Money stick to a reliable Older ICE car that you enjoy driving while there's still fuel available and save the expense of any newer stuff which will go on Improving all the time, the longer you wait.

  13. What you are doing is part of trial by Media. Nev
  14. We don't (have to) import electricity. Unless it's produced by diesel generators. Diesel and Petrol cannot be assured. We are not self sufficient. No fuel. No go at all. No matter how efficient it is. Nev
  15. You still NEED Hydrocarbon fuel for this and can that be assured in today's world.? Nev
  16. Better than trial by Media or a Lynch mob.. Nev
  17. That's a bit of a cop-out. This is being dealt with by the Courts, currently. You Post it, you own it.. I would suggest caution. Nev
  18. He"owns " everything. He Listens to No One but Tries to blame everyone else, when it goes to $#!t. He Da King, so the Buck stops with HIM. Nev
  19. . Anything but a Black Shadow is a relatively low output motor. 45 and 50 Hp for 1000 ccs and the gearbox and clutch are nothing special. it's also hard to fit an electric starter. There were Plenty of Norvins made with Aftermarket frames. The heads don't give good gasflow figures and the 90 degree valve angle is out dated and inefficient. A used Buell 1200 cc for just over 100 hp pulls like a train and cools better with a strong gearbox and clutch and electric start. Nev
  20. Very clever. nev
  21. They are IN it for the Money. (and Donny's EGO.) That stands out like dogs balls. Nev
  22. There's a fair bit to know about setting up sidecars properly, and having a high centre of gravity makes them doubly dangerous. Like with a trike it's better to keep Mass near the ground. Having suspension can make it very " leany" when turning. and the front forks "trail" can make the steering heavy . Usually the sidecar is sprung in relation to it's chassis at least and some Movement between the side car frame and the Bikes frame. . The assymetry of accelerating and braking can worry some new riders, till they get more experience. You have to look a fair bit ahead to set up your Cornering. It's near impossible to ride a combination with No weight in the chair, safely. Too fast into an off camber LH downhill corner, anytime, will see you in the bushes or a head-on with something coming the other way..You either get to like the challenge or you Hate them. . They put a lot of strain on the engine and the Bike frame and wheels. (side loads). Plenty of original setups were 3 Point. The Goulding was a Popular make here till about 1930 after which it went to the USA. Another big presence was the Dusting and the Yeats was a well set up 4 point mount that was well accepted. and good quality. Tyre wear on the rear wheel can be quite Poor with bigger wider outfits. . Nev
  23. Don't be a "Stair" Case. Also don't fall for the Book. Advice from someone with a lot of experience of falling WOULD would not be Helpful. Install a lift, or sell the House and eliminate the risk. .Nev
  24. USA is in a BIG Pickle. Sometimes called a gherkin. Nev.
  25. ChatGP will find you. Nev
