Agreed, motorcycles and public roads are almost incompatible. I love motorbikes, had one all my life but have never ventured on road on one.. Surprising how many road racers think same. Dad always insisted I could race one but couldn't have one on public roads.??? Its amazing that IOM TT is...

Statistics rather than bias might suggest otherwise. UK now 15th in death rates per million World wide, likely soon to be 17th or 18th.(Poland,Croatia and, USA are all within a percent or so of our figure) Does depend on one's idea of average I suppose, but in rank order on death rates for...

https://unherd.com/2021/05/why-the-tories-need-to-rewrite-history/ Good article if a little on meandering side. Go to last sentence for crux.

That's your opinion. It's not fact flecc. I don't think they will. Motorcycle sales are up 570% this April. Government will simply say, and be believed, borrowing money for Pandemic was essential.

WTF... I give a link about a new (ish) engine and mention its in tanks to stop Putin coming accross Europe (in jest) and the argumentative feckers in here get all pedantic. FFS, how many times. I posted about a fecking engine. Get a grip.

Spending on furlough was an attempt to keep businesses from going bust and a way of keeping economy (falsely) buoyant. Stuff has been selling (bikes, ebikes, canoes, windsurfing kit etc, has gone crazy. Been double edged, ie new kit coming in very slow (Brexit and Covid) but without doubt folk...

My leisure (100ah) can run our fridge for 3 days on campervan. . Yep I know its tiny at side of IC van but a bank of batteries charging over night would run freezer all day. No vehicles, anywhere, should be sat ticking over.. We, ve even got into habit of switching our boats V8 off picking...

They have spent a fortune, quite alien to Tories. No way on earth will that be found as being against Government. It will be viewed as their attempt to offset /limit fiscal damage, which to be fair it was. Reckon if you asked 100 people at large were govt right to borrow and spend such colossal...

Yep, I forgot Hybrids sat ticking over don't pollute environment.. Silly me.

Yep, agreed. There are loads of alternatives to leaving engine ticking over.. But taking grand kids to school it's amazing how many cars you see parked up with engine running. I don't get that at all this time of year, it's not for heater or air con. Just folk trying to be annoying I suspect.

WHO are saying entire Pandemic has been handled badly World Wide so sort of self criticism there and BJ is not alone by any stretch of imagination. As a whole Govt have performed sort of average world wide.?? Guardian suggest otherwise but that's hardly a shock is it.?

All the talk about how good Corbyn would have done reminds me of a top water skier I used to know. He was at a competition and announced he won last year's event at TV (Thames Valley!) Ski Club. Somebody pointed out "No, you didn't, I did" in quite an aggressive manner. Mate replied "well, if...

That shows a certain determined duty to the cause. I get bored after a few minutes.

Mind you French Army might be buying some new tanks... Some reports suggest they are Revolting... (old joke) French military are a bit of a law to themselves.

I know, look at Germany in 30s...

Probably agree with you but Military still need tanks to play around in. We ain't going to see a demilitarised world anytime soon, much as it would be nice. Point was about the engine design, a smaller version is planned for trucks and an even smaller one for pick ups/vans. We are always going...

Yep, there is nothing new... Ricardo, Rolls Royce or Napier did nearly everything years ago with regards ICE. .Often its the metallurgy that allows older ideas to be successful when not so in past. Could be argued ICE reached its pinnacle with Napier Sabre or Rolls Royce Griffin in its final...

The article explains unit ICE is planned to be used in conjunction with battery etc.. (Tank to be a hybrid... In interests of environment whilst launching nuclear warheads and depleted Uranium shells? Possibly.. But more likely for silent running and low heat signature. Think it points to idea...

Trouble is nobody is quite sure about Starmer. I, d thought he was nearer Blairite than Corbyn..
