  6. There's NO standard Operating procedure when UNPREDICTABLE Trump is doing it.. Nev
  7. DICKTATORS avoid Information they don't want to hear. Nev
  8. It's NOT that simple. Peripheral night vision and glare sensitivity and reaction times count too. IF the Powers were serious they wouldn't allow adverts all along the roads. Some drivers have never reached a good standard either and have a poor attitude to safety and road manners and don't put the effort required into the Job. Nev
  9. Measles might even do the job of missiles. RFKJr will do the Job for them. Trump is far TOO Dumb to be a serious Proposition. HE WEAKENING the State of America More every day. . Nev

  11. Trump RUNS on the Golden Rule. He who has the GOLD makes the RULES. Generally the Price of gold rises when the Market looks risky. Trumps Erratic behaviour is not good for Investment ANYWHERE. Nev
  12. Nice day today. Went to a NEW shed, Airconditioned. Nev
  13. The ones I have are made to fit MY ears by taking a CAST of the ear canal. It also changes over time so I'm getting new ones at the Moment It's done to your existing units at pretty minimum cost. Vickers Machine Guns ruined my ears when I was about 21 and finished off by Noisy radios (HF) and engines of Planes and tractors. Nev
  14. So that was a good deal? WE don't do so bad. (Compared to MOST places). Hear Hear. It's pretty high tech stuff. Nev
  15. I know IVECO's are good but they are rather BIG and that is a hell of a good mileage figure. Nev
  16. Yes. It was a Perfect day. Nev

  18. It's the drag and rolling resistance of the vehicle that Matters. Headwinds count too. Todays engines (mostly supercharged) run at lower revs for more efficiency, and longer life. At 110 Kph many engines are only doing 1900 rpm BOXY Vans etc are draggy and speed ups the fuel rate significantly.. You really pay in extra fuel consumption and engine stress. Nev
  19. There's NOT a lot of things you have to do really. The tappets are hydraulic. Oil and filter very easy to change. Gearbox oil is separate. Most important thing is have it all very hot when you adjust the Primary chain as otherwise it can end up too tight when it does get hot. Steering Head, swing arm and wheel bearings are ALL Tapered rollers and don't pressure wash any Motorbike. Nev
  20. The Police did create some confusion about where people were to go. There's also been BIG Protests in ISRAEL by their OWN people... The right to Protest Peacefully should be Protected. It's been part of the of getting where we are. Nev
  21. 130 Kms is too fast on two way roads especially where Heat shimmer on the roads makes accurate longer distance vision suspect and an over taking distance too hard to judge. Crumple zones work up to certain Velocities . High speed vehicles are more wind affected. Road trains can develop dangerous swaying and can't stop predictably. At faster speeds crash consequences are far worse. (Kinetic energy). 130 Km/hr is 169% of that at 100Km/hr. Tyres and running Parts run hotter .What about animals on unfenced roads? Nev
  22. Sorry Pete, But I get sick of people (who don't ride them) Piling on Harleys. A have had more Yamaha's than modern Harleys and my daughter (Smallish) has a 535 yam. Virago which I service very thoroughly. It has a weird fuel system requiring fuel pumps to work and too much trail on the forks and needs another gear and gets pretty warm. Chrome is ordinary.. I wouldn't see the Harley as a good police bike. Maybe OK for Parades. What are Police bikes good for these days??. Ride what you enjoy, not what your mates would be impressed by and something you can afford and get parts for. IF you don't fix it yourself, you are at the Mercy of whoever does do it. The wiring harness gives trouble on a lot of Bikes after a few years especially around the steering column. Insulation breaks and the wires harden.. Most bikes have the seat much too high for short People..Get the Miles up and get rid of them rather than work on them. .I still have the ONLY Harley that I bought new. Nev
  23. A lot of semis are 100 Limited. Nev
  24. That's BS Pete. That model Yamaha is worth zero these days. I test rode one when they were new. Promising., BUT they had a lot of bad faults I test rode a lot of bikes back then. On the Nullabour you'll see plenty of larger Harleys. They are Far more comfortable than GP copy bikes where you body weight is on your wrists and you Heels are up near you bum and an hour on them is enough. The HD seats are big and LOW and you can have a real windscreen and soft suspension and rubber mounted LARGE Motors that don't need to rev AND Great Paint and Chrome.. Nev
  25. Bugger all details. Where's the to 130 KPH come from? You are revving up sensation , red. Nev
