NZFF

I am slowly getting used to the new forum style. I need to give it some time to adjust. The old forum, even though slow and technically inferior, had a certain quirky charm and readability about it that is hard to explain. EDIT: Hmmm hang on a minute I have just tried the eTech "skin" preference which is quite similar to the old forum style. I might switch back and forth between the 2 styles and see which I prefer.

Have noticed it's not all oriental races involved either, some American etc. It's a culture related thing i.e. left/right driving at home. That is true and one program that use to run on TV was a NZ trucker show and the don't and do that , late comedian Ewen Gilmore, pointed out many habits and always put the trucker in the right, I had one incident with a 40tonne tarp hauler , Hilton haulage, I had the right of way, bright yellow hi-viz gear on my mountain bike , this truck driver looked down saw me .... I can see the mumble on his lips "what the Truk are you going to do" and kept...

How about we send it down the street to fetch a large pizza and a couple of sixpacks? Not into pizza much ... crikey a couple off sixpacks off PVA would be over the top .. surely ! :huh:

Just for looks I'll stick with Japanese pocket rockets .. those look to hard to keep clean :) The trouble with the Jap pocket rockets, Ian, is that all that full-fairing hides all the rust, corrosion, rot, etc, going on underneath, that you don't notice! On the naked bikes, a quick spray all over the bike with warm soapy water washes all the nasties away...everywhere....super-quick! One thing I could say and the reason a hi performance bike will last as long as the 900 did was constantly keeping it clean ... keeping it clean you always see what needs to be maintained ... but here for you Paul...

You may find that it is from the 'old days' and it hasn't been used for decades. Back in those a lot of contracting companies had cartoony type logos, like my Dad's one below. I do remember the Ryan Bros 'earthmoving' here in Christchurch had cartoon logo's from memory I think this was a practice that was done from ex Army-engineers from the Pacific after WWII, just something they picked up from aircraft and after the airfield construction thru out the region.

:lol: looks nothing like me but :lol:

We gotta love our feather friends .... after all they are aviators :)

No spoilers,I recorded it. Well let me start here .. Its starts with :D ... and then this happen and when that did it, really cause a conundrum and from there it got worst .... that was the adverts I mean :lol:

Here's the latest Foz, in case your local press has "gone off the boil" on this one.... Ta for the latest heads-up, Bazza!.... :D ...! Its such a shame to see these magnificent creatures suffering, and a big cheer for all those involved in trying to save them! Not a sight to be seen around my shores! At least, many of them were saved.... :clap: ...! Paul..... B-) ...!

I really want to get up there if I can get somebody to sponsor my work visa I'm supposed to be heading there this weekend for work for a week and a bit, will try and score some more decent pics while I'm there

Arrr the 1980s where Virus's were freely given away .... hang on ! :huh: ........ nothing really has changed :lol:

PS Untick the "you'll still never win" box, I forgot.

I can see you doing that....

Only show Marsbar watched with me ... think it was Snowball II that kept him interested :D

Very interesting point since you fly on and off a small pad from a fishing boat in the 500, really gives some direction in the possibles that may have caused the crash ... I was riding my CB900 packed to the max and through that area on a dry road the bike was picked up and shunted least 2/3 meters ... I was doing maybe 140km making me an extra little lite ..... but shows the strength and quick whip thru this region.

I'll guess they will find out it was a computer glitch, mention the alt , when you see how spritely a F-16 jump off the deck there would be little or no time.... one off the most pronounced things you see as one taxi while checking the flight controls and they do move very quickly.
