  1. What is a Brain fart an expression of ?Nev
  2. I'd be concerned if a lot of French Letters came back to me.. Nev
  3. Modern ones use electron paths. No moving bits to wear. . Nev
  4. If the engine Locks up the Momentum of the rotating parts will try to rotate the bike the way the engine was going. You didn't address the engine speed clutch effects. Most bikes have a big reduction from engine speed to clutch speed. The clutch is on the input shaft to the Gearbox. Every Modern race bike I know of has the engine rotation at right angles to the Way you are going.. Hard sprockets and "O" or "Z" ring chains last quite a while. Chains absorb much less power than Gears do especially Angle ones and are reliable under race conditions. No one runs industrial grade chains on a Motorcycle. You need the best. Nev
  5. I said "I couldn't agree more", and got Lambasted for saying it. It's not ambiguous. Better than waffling on. American English is more Phonetic but the word meaning can be Lost. Nev
  6. You well know what I Meant. Why is the Language a SHE?. Cricket has a "Silly Mid-off " Position. but criticising it would not be cricket, would it? Also you can bowl a Maiden over and that's supposed to be a good thing. Strewth is a swear word. (God's Truth).. Fair dinkum. Nev
  7. Corrupted MORE than it already is. We have to devise a way of Managing it.. Nev
  8. I think that at present it's not that difficult to PICK AI driven responses. It searches existing sources, asks if you want more of a specified type. If you ask a curly one it hesitates for a considerable time. I find it useful at times. Dog knows what it will develop into. Like Many good things, TV and the NET, It will be corrupted by those who wish to exploit for their wicked ends. Nev
  9. Belarus Tractors were known as "Ivan the Terrible". Nev
  10. 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
  11. C'mon Share it. What are you People ON? Nev
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. Good spotting. No wonder she's having a Puff. That will take the dull out of UllaDULLa Nev
  15. 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
  16. Do what I say or I will Build a $#!t Castlle .Nev
  17. Donne le Moi. (Give it to ME.) Nev
  18. An old Streaker got the Prize for the Best Dried Arrangement. Smoking is a dying habit. Nev
  19. What Media do Democrat's Control or even Have a say? Nev
  20. 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
  21. Unsafe and useless perhaps? No seat Belts either. Just Imagine driving a Long distance and the effect of Winds on their stability. Nev
  22. You can Buy and do corrupt DEALS with Trump. It's nothing to do with Labour costs. Nev
  23. Then you might have to find what facts enabled the Results.? Who owns FACTS? Nev
  24. Or Mop up the gravy. Nev
  25. No punches pulled there. Nev
