Phil Read .... the original 'hard man' but a damn good racer. He had some very nice things to say about Bazza. "Phil Read:Prince of Speed" is interesting ... his feud with Bill Ivy makes good reading. And unlike today, 125cc ... 250cc ..... 500cc .... all in a day's racing for men like these. Shame his Honda let him down in 1978 when he and 'Mike the Bike' lined up for the IOM Senior. I never realised (until I read his Bio) that Read started racing a 350 Goldie in 1956 and on

Jafo, trawling for some information last night and ended up reading (or re-reading!) some reports from the first arrival of the Japanese teams at the IOM. The Honda 250 'Six' (17,000 RPM in 1966!) is the one we all think of but how about the Honda 125 'Five' (20,000 RPM in 1967) or even their 50cc aircooled twin (winding out to 20,000 RPM in 1965) .... Himmel!! The one bike I would really like to see and hear in action is the 500cc Gilera V8 of 1957 .... <img src="http://images.stardock

One of the last of the IOM TT 'Greats'. Bugger!! And don't forget Joey Dunlop Hippy ..... "Yer Mun". BTW, Bazza would be enjoying the MotoGP rounds this season. Almost all the four strokes are running with straight-out pipes .... take your ear plugs Jafo. I noticed all the grid-grommets were using them last weekend.

No free love? I think someone woke up on the wrong side of the outback. I thought you guys were supposed to be whimsical and sing songs like tie me kangaroo down sport, what a grouch. OK .... and we all wear slouch hats, have Kangaroos hopping down the main streets of our cities, can ride stock horses and drink gallons of Fosters! <img src="http:

Shouldn't it be smarter to make it 100-150 Megs for people who don't contribute and 200 megs for people who do make skins and contribute? Styl, define 'contribute'. Your proposition would be a bit rough on untalented members such as this particular Marsupial who have been around from the early days but lack the skills to 'contribute' other t

These days I take passing interest in noting an apparent revision of his stance, suggesting his superiors have requested he refrain from editorialising and slandering various entities. Ditto!

From what I understand there are tons of so called "Adventure Capitalists" (i.e. insane rich guys) that throw around millions on the most insane studies and experiments you could even imagine… you need to get a hold of one of these wackos as an investor…then there can just be free love.

Like I've said before, nobody's perfect, but this site strives for values and qualities that represent an ideal. While trawling through several magazines recently I came across a couple of pieces by one "Andy Hutchinson" on desktops and customising. quote.."Without a doubt, the best place to get funky wallpapers is DeviantArt(www.deviantart.c

eg, the eye cannot distinguish 16.7 million colour variations, nor can your brain/perception benefit from their use..... To complicate matters further, anyone over 35 will have trouble with 'correct' colour perception as the retina of the human eye begins to degrade and tends to give a 'yellow' cast to one's colour vision. <img src="http://image

All my Office 2002 (XP Pro) apps work fine with WB4, but I suggest you set them up under WB Configuration with straight-forward skins. Brim.Net by Greg Holt, XP Golden by digitalFX, or Skink (my personal fave!) by essorant all do the biz without any conflicts. Last resort, exclude Excel under the apps configuration tab.
