The Root cause was establishing a dedicated Jewish state on Palestinian land in the first place. 1948. The middle east was always going to be a place of great potential contest. Wahabi is the most radical of all Islamics. (Saudia) Bin Laden wanted the US out of HIS Country. Fair enough one would think.. US calls it "OUR OIL". Gives the green light for Iraq to invade IRAN. then drives them back in a turkey shoot.Then invades Iraq under false pretences and support ISRAEL to the Hilt. and pulls out of the Iranian Nuclear inspection deal and applies severe sanctions to the Country, shoots down a civilian Airbus A300 (by Mistake?) and Trump assassinates a prominent Military figure within IRAN, extra judicially. What a Mess. Iran took millions of refugees from Afghanistan. What a mess that place is now. They fight with abandoned US weaponry and women have no right to a decent education or job.. America originally Backed the Mujahedeen to oust the Russians. No wonder Putin is not friendly to the West.Nev

"Pay Sex" Is more honest. (So I'm told). I have NO personal experience. I like (good) sex, but I have Scottish ancestry. How do you have it IF you're spayed? Nev

Unless you are hill climbing. Class "C" 750 Sv,vs500 OHV oval track was pretty fast.. Brits complained about the Capacity difference so Tom Sifton got a Gold Star BSA and tuned it and won the #1 Plate and said I've done it so stop whinging or something like that. Pre WW2 many Brit bikes were quite popular for oval track in the USA. It's all sideways and spectacular. to watch. Nev -
We only get pretty much one side of it all, here. In that context we can't expect much difference. Albo copped a lashing even with the Moderate steps he's taken. Netanyahu DEMANDS TOTAL commitment and agreement with his outrageous behaviour no matter what death and destruction he leaves everywhere he goes. He stifles information and targets Journalists. Bad show. Nev

The Greens attack Labor regularly. Lately they have woken up to the Possibility it might help Dutton get elected and they have CHANGED their tactics a bit.. LABOR is low hanging fruit. Not ALL Jews like Netanyahu. HE is supported by the extreme right wing, mainly and will probably be before the Court IF this fighting stopped on other matters. An embargo on imports from Israel therefore would be foolish in the Circumstances and create large internal ructions' with the powerful Jewish lobby here. Nev

OME the USA made, older bikes are holding their Prices quite well but that doesn't particularly apply to the smaller offerings which were not the usual BIG CUBES sturdy tourer. The Harley pup is a similar bike which had a lot of success on the early speedway scene, ridden by notables such as Eddie Brink and the Bike became known as the "Peashooter".They handle very well and were noted for that feature at the time. Don't tank slap. The OHV version is the performance bike and they also made a special single port Big Carb motor, but my ordinary 350 SV has surprised many people as to how performed in "standard" tune. Sold it about 5 years ago. I was often asked is THAT THING a 500? .I can get you a 28 OHV two piper if you want. It was the first equipped with a" front " brake. but it's not that effective. Like many of the time. Nev -

There weren't many bikes more reliable than the WLA at the time. The air cleaner was Oil bath and the Ignition system water tolerant.. They didn't lower their tolerances either or material specs. with the war models. A bit low to the ground perhaps. The German built Zundapp outfit would be the most purpose built 2 wheel based thing around, the sidecar version having a driven sidecar wheel. The Norton 633 cc Model 16H Side valve had a driven sidecar wheel option also but the bike , but apart from that Not particularly notable.. The Harley seat was particularly comfortable (Large Padded well sprung steelpan and leather covered, and most English seats were rather ordinary, and the control cables Twist grip(single Piano wire sturdy and reliable) for throttle and ignition timing. The front brake cable has a grease nipple. giving it a good service life also.. The generator and electrics were very reliable, especially when compared with the Lucas systems on most brit Bikes. Of course you had to get used to a foot clutch and a hand gear change ,but you can get them pretty quick with a bit of PRACTICE. robust but some would never like them. Nev -

These "infidels" are treating us with contempt OME. You'd want a fairly good one for that price and a REALLY good one is worth MORE. There's an OHV version and they even made an OHC, Patterned on the Velocette. Post me a Pic if you wish. Nev -
Albanese has joined the United Nations, the ICC and the Majority of the rest of the World. and has been unrelentingly pilloried by the Murdoch Press and the LNP for it..Netanyahu has attacked the Labor party viciously for their actions. Nev

Don't use a hose on an old bike you care for.. I wouldn't even do it to a Lawn mower . Nev -
That camber set up is not unusual these days. The outside wheel is vertical when cornering. Bad luck braking straight ahead, but that's the way it goes. Compromise. Nev

The FIRE appears to be behind the car. Everything is faked these days. What a pity that it is so. No new age of enlightenment that could have been. Those in control don't want educated masses Some don't want an Educated Leader either. .Nev

Paint jobs can turn out much more work than anticipated. Poor repaints can hide a lot of flaws. I prefer an "original" even IF the colours are somewhat out of style. There's nothing like the smell of a NEW plane. I've experienced a couple of Club ones. and the odd Airline one.. My Citabria didn't have a mark on it. and looked a picture anywhere. Done original Sunburst RED and WHITE as from the factory.. Cheaper thana Jabiru.. . Nev

I had to get that extra comma in. because I don't wish to see Jerry painted. Nev

Talking of painting, jerry, what happened to that plane you were getting painted? You don't HAVE to reply. Nev

I gave up watching Paint dry. Too much excitement compared to TV. Anyhow I now have a new keyboard and all the letters are BIG and visible. Surprising how different it feels to the Microsoft one. This is a cheap China thing.. In the burg where I live the Shy Cancel would probably make that RENO Impossible. Nev

Didn't they have a FIRE in London once? When you return, stay away from fire Prone areas. That can be a bit hard to do. in Australia. (Including Tassie). Nev

Avoid trans fats, salt and sugar (and alcohol if you're serious). Eat natural unprocessed foods. NO fizzy SUGARY drinks. Don't overcook things or keep them for too long. Keep nuts etc in the fridge. Nev
