It depends on what sort of bike you WANT. All shaft drives have a torque reaction, spline and seals problem, and they are costly and not light weight. Also engine speed clutches aren't as nice as when the clutch runs slower. No bike gearboxes are synchro meshed so the changes can be clunky. Fore to aft crank axis has a Bike reaction leaning effect and if the engine Locked up you wouldn't be able to stay on it. That illustrates the effect. I'm not saying engine lock ups are common, but they are NOT unknown. Nev

C'mon Share it. What are you People ON? Nev

Some conversations with Some humans involves little thinking.. . Knowledge is not the same as thinking. A conversation in abstractions might be a good test. Also discourse on Philosophy Art and Logic would be interesting. Intelligence is the ability to process and apply Inputs. Memory may be Photographic. Big advantage. Nev

Those things are not really OLD CARS. They are an exercise in Minimalism. Just enough to keep the Occupant out of the weather.. A strong wind gust would blow them over. Nev

Good spotting. No wonder she's having a Puff. That will take the dull out of UllaDULLa Nev

They tend to go for HERO type personalities. Trump was supposed to be RICH. SO HE must know how to do things. His name was synonymous with success.. You'd go a long way to get a person more flawed and dangerous than this guy is. His Niece Mary, adequately warned ALL OF US. Now he will be very difficult to be rid of and is totally Unpredictable with any accuracy.. My bet is he will create a big(ger) Crisis and declare Martial LAW and cancel the Mid term elections. People voting for Pauline Hanson is even more inexplicable. Have a look as how HER Party is structured and Managed. The candidates don't really get a say. The GOP in the USA doesn't have the GUTS to take Trump on. Nev

Do what I say or I will Build a $#!t Castlle .Nev

An old Streaker got the Prize for the Best Dried Arrangement. Smoking is a dying habit. Nev

What Media do Democrat's Control or even Have a say? Nev

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

Unsafe and useless perhaps? No seat Belts either. Just Imagine driving a Long distance and the effect of Winds on their stability. Nev

You can Buy and do corrupt DEALS with Trump. It's nothing to do with Labour costs. Nev

Then you might have to find what facts enabled the Results.? Who owns FACTS? Nev

No punches pulled there. Nev

Tocumwal is a bit of a diversion. You'll be Mixing it with Gliders there.. Might be HOT as well. Nev

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

Ask the same question about driverless anything? It will be sorted out between the Makers and those who put it into service. Nev

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

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.

What you are doing is part of trial by Media. Nev

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
