  1. The Japanese were not without their faults !
  2. I was being a bit simplistic, however, stadium events are more "shop window" and even more divorced from "on any sunday" type events ?
  3. GCR was British, I think the PWR was American.
  4. 90 kg is marked on the headstock plate, but I dont know how accurate it is, always thought Fantics were slightly lighter.
  5. It's the people who buy the bikes you should ask, not the people who are given them ?
  6. Thatcher wanted nuclear power, and got it, sort of. I'm not sure of the details, but she opted for gas cooled I think. 25% efficiency was about average. Coal has to be cheaper long term ?? (TBC)
  7. Re-birth ! Still plenty of coal, environmental and politics rapidly killing it off however.
  8. No connection other than of the same era, twin shock Fantic's are very good (was riding a 300 last sunday) I personally prefer SWM's.
  9. Re WSC, the (failed) promises of a land fit for heroes gave birth to the unions. I, naively, expect pm's to look to long term consequences.
  10. Really ? SWM is supposed to be 90.
  11. Story of my life, only Ham 2 occasionally encourages me (in a patronising way, obviously)
  12. Dont think you can isolate the "woman" from her actions.
  13. If its wrong to "celebrate" a death, why the state funeral ?
  14. Apart from the good things she did (Mr Whippy) she destroyed many lives and community's. Sacrifices for the greater good are all very well, as long as it doesn't affect you. A concept that I'm fairly sure never occurred to Mrs T.
  15. Without being condescending, how old are you ?
  16. Someone once told me it came from cows !
  17. Bantam frame for sale on wooblie wills http://www.willbrown.co.uk/adz/index.

  19. Or take the speedo drive to a machine shop and they will make you one.
