My life would have Been totally different IF i hadn't ridden and Mucked around with Motorbikes. Even on old motorbikes I've been to Places I would NEVER otherwise have gone to otherwise and Met a few Long life friends Done a Lot of OFF road Motorcycling Built a lot of Old Bikes and Made a lot of Parts for them. ALL MY Kids Have bikes My wite was a good off road rider and rode Big Harley Outfits well. Much Better than Most Blokes. Gotta go for tea and watch the tennis Finals. Hoo Roo . Nev
People working on the Production said Melania is 'Nice enough, BUT Boring'. Some people are attending not mot enough to recoup the Large Costs. In SOME states, Understandably, NO ONE wants to go. Nev
Mine had a front Brake, Thru stud front engine Mount and a Tapered tank and different Handlebars and headlight .That's a 24 or 25. I'd say with Beaded edge tyres. Looks to be a very NICE bike and all correct. Nev
The Red rubber framed Postie Bike would be the Most dangerous. I rode along Bush tracks thru Creeks and alongside railway lines for years On a 1927 Model 101 INDIAN that needed absolutely NOTHING to be done to it other than ME Making a replacement Rotor for the Splitdorf Magneto. That was a very Popular Model. I Paid 5 Quid for it with sidebox. I'd had about 5 bikes before that one. No one in my family was Mechanical OR liked Motorbikes. Nev
You can MAKE a crude evaporative system with wet bags and some fans. You can't take that Level of temperature. a PROPER EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM uses quite a Bit of water and you regulate it by Opening window s to let the cooled Air Pass through the space you. want to cool. They don't work well in high Humidity but should be good where you are. I had a BIG one on the roof at Lake BOGA (near Swan Hill) at the Vinyard. (and a refrigerated COOL ROOM IF it got too Bad). Nev
We have Houses to burn in Australia. Everyone wants to live near the coast, but you can't drink or safely swim in the water there, and they have WATER shortages and some of the Worlds biggest Houses in a country where it's good to get outside. Nev
Wooden Bridges with the Planks laid along them are a BIG challenge especially when wet or frosted.. OLD ones get big gaps and splinters between the cracks. Nev
Having your OWN Place is good You can fiddle with it a bit to get More comfortable depending on how Over Bearing the Local Council is. Owing money is like Having Cancer. On your Mind all the time. Nev
IF you are Going to rebuild Motors get rust free blocks to start with. You can't make Silk Purses from sow's Ears. Check the Head Bolt threads also, for stripping and star cracking. Nev
