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

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

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

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

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

A lot of semis are 100 Limited. Nev

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

Bugger all details. Where's the to 130 KPH come from? You are revving up sensation , red. Nev

Things he says are a bit rich. He's Not THAT rich, compared to Gorgeous GINA. nev

How is it connected? Australia has a LOW unemployment rate AND and a low Inflation rate AND a likely significant Lowering Interest rate coming.. There WAS A Gathering on the Harbour Bridge IF you didn't notice it. Not well managed either but it was NON Violent. (Note). Nev

A trike is not a Bike. In my view, most of them are B dangerous, except the very low centre of Gravity ones. Nev

There are quite a FEW things women don't laugh about. Nev

We are NOT talking about Trams (which DO run on rails. ). Nev

That's about where WE are AT. Now. Nev

Don't let People Put you off your Harley. You can enjoy them without having to Imitate Valentino Rossi. I've done 4 bike trips on the South Island Of Australia. Nev

Back to BIG Clive. OUR Local Yokel. Nev

The owner on his shoes. Nev

none. Nev

Ah the Lingerging smell of a Leyland's exhaust after breakfast.. Nev

THAT happened quite often and not just limited to Ferry Pilots in the War. Nev

WHO Knows what HE really Has? He's DEMANDING LAW Firms work Pro Bono for him. He's Caligula and the Mafia rolled into one. Nev

SYDNEY had them also. Nev

Trump is using the same tactic and he's even got the Law Firms in fear. Nev

Bypass Woollies etc and you're fine. Dried fruit in the right climate also. We all had our OWN Coolstore. FIGS were a good little item. Grape Viticulture is a Mugs Game. The French were getting 6000 Au a Tonne. for good grapes when 1500 was the Max here. Nev

Watch out or he will sue you. He's pretty adept at that.. Nev
