Re: Tit for Tat at the borders

That "dark" area is "Missippi" (Ebonic slang)....and is more than just dark on a map...it's very dark from an ethnic standpoint,....three times the national average (or thereabouts) for blacks in the USA as a whole. By inference alone it also means it's very low income...it's one...

Re: What you watching?

Been on here too...well, bits of it. Apparently the Queen is 157 years old today (doesn't look a day over 156, though)...when you get to that age the best thing to do is throw a massive party where you can't actually talk to anyone, just wave at them. And not provide any booze. Cheap b***h!! Kinda s...

Re: In, out or shake it all about?

Well yes....but you could say that about almost any country, as they are constantly "in flux" in that regard. The issue becomes more relevant when a change occurs...but that changeover period seldom lasts more than a lifetime, giving ample opportunity for younger generations to adapt to ch...

Re: In, out or shake it all about?

Yeah.

And Swiss chocolate.
And the Swiss Guard.
And Swiss Army sh*t you can spend wads of cash on.
And Swiss banks you can hide your stolen Nazi loot in.
And Swiss chocolate.
And the International Red Cross....the flag of which is of course merely the Swiss flag in reverse.
And Swiss chocolate.

Re: Coming soon to a Curry's near you

That is proven. That's one of my issues about giving money for things like clean water in developing countries, where infant mortality is high and that's the mindset of parents. As harsh as it sounds, if nature can't house humans then humans shouldn't live there. Putting in wells and water purifyin...

LOL....it's international travel. Most of us, if not all on here have done it at some point.

Nothing worse than stumbling upon an unexpected snake in the bush area Yes there is....trying to 'bunny-hop' a rattle-snake on your MTB...misjudging it, landing on the snake, and having it thrown up onto your bike forcing a 'tactical dismount' at speed. Bonus points for the thing getting so pissed ...

Re: Dainese Boots

Yep....them's the ones...you can see the zipper-tap thing in the pic. Weird to put on at first....and I seem to recall that there was some issue with them not being track-legal here, not 100% sure, but seems to ring a bell....I know that the subject came up.

Re: Dainese Boots

Tried the Dainese and my leathers caught on the peg, necessitating a triple somersault dismount to stop the bike from falling over....plus, I couldn't zip my leathers properly...so I think you have to get the whole shebang. That said....they were SUPER comfortable....way better than A-Stars...not th...

Re: Petrol

All well and good...but what can anyone do about it??

No-one is going to change the blend of fuel they sell just to appease a few bikers, and bikes wear out, like anything else.

Gives me a good excuse to get another one. Hell yes!!

Re: Petrol

It's not rocket science, if your bike/car isn't tuned for it don't use it. Otherwise you'll be knock knock knocking on heavens door! The knock sensor can er, 'sense' what octane gas you're running and make adjustments accordingly up to a certain degree. The octane ratings for US/UK gas are different.
