[quote who="DaveRI" reply="18" id="3794850"] If you got just the right amount of weight in that rear pack and scooted back in the seat, you just might be able to do wheelies [e digicons]:grin:[/e] [/quote] I might get enough weight in the rear pack when shopping for a few beers, but I definitely won't be intentionally popping any wheelies. No, that's not my scene anymore. I used to do it around 45 years ago on my motorcycle when I was 10 foot tall an

Yeah, a lot of tech is cutting edge when released, but that doesn't last long, what with newer models hitting the shelves within months and upping the ante. In some instances you can't even give that [once was] cutting edge tech away. What really annoys me is that neither JB Hifi or Officeworks sell recordable bluray discs anymore, yet they still sell the Bluray recorders/burners. I recently looked all over Launceston for recordable Bluray discs and found none.

Banned for a wild and woolly assumption regarding a situation I have absolutely no interest in.... but if you have any disclosures about guzzling beer I'm all ears.

Another thing that's pissing me off are the selfish, self-privileged, self-entitled wankers in Sydney who are ignoring the lockdown rules, social distancing and guidelines to go surfing, etc. It's people like these who are spreading the Covid-19 virus and causing greater stress and even death to communities already decimated by the disease. For mine, these arrogant, self-centered arse-wipes should be fined heavily AND jailed... but before that, I'd confiscate and burn their effi

I knew it wouldn't be long before the relaxed Covid restrictions were being escalated again. With new clusters in Sydney and nearby surrounds, other states have reintroduced border closures and quarantine measures to people from NSW and overseas visitors/returnees. It makes sense but there's many who are not happy with it because it interrupts their holiday plans. Something that concerns and perplexes me is why other governments have thoroughly tested and released Phiser's

[quote who="Jafo" reply="12" id="3794421"] No wonder it wouldn't post....the CPU died....but obviously not 100% dead....just 'mostly' dead. 6 years ago it was pretty cutting edge...and $1279 AUD. 6 years later it's new on Ebay for $550 AUD.

Banned for instigating a fight because yer missus' birthday was completely ignored and made her feel neglected by your failure to recognise it as being important to her. How's that black eye and fat lip going? [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

[quote who="Jafo" reply="15" id="3794139"] The problem with the one in my pic....is that it's a single seater...and yet has 2 doors....and so you wonder why....and the only answer can be....for when [not if] it blows over onto its side...[e digicons];)[/e] [/quote] That is a distinct possibility. It could also be for when parked and somebody parks too close and blocks access to one of the doors... then there's the other side. However, it'd be
