    Is there a motorcycle-oriented election advice, election scorecard or
    anything like that? I've tried searching for information in
    Motorcycling Australia but I can't find anything.

    There is a post on this NG from 2007 but it doesn't contain any useful
    information and it's a bit dated too.

    Pretty much. The only people who have done more than say "we will
    think about it" at the state level in NSW are the Greens who, in
    the person of Lee Rhiannon have raised pro-motorcycle issues in
    state parliament and have said they see motorcycles as part of the
    solution to congestion and pollution issues, but again most of the
    things that will be affected by that are state not fed.

    It is probable that the Shooters and Fishers will be well disposed
    towards off road bikes if that's your thing.

    The Feds have some clout in transport issues due to Federal funding of
    roads, so can affect things like wire rope, but I dunno how much any
    of them really care. Labor is tending towards more central control of
    things like licences, it is very vaguely possible they might look at
    federal registration of vehicles other than trucks but I doubt that's
    going to happen in this term.

    I thought that might be the case. Just checking.

    BTW - Peter I have the Ventura rack back section and bag for your
    missus - but it's not going to be cheap! I want $5 for it (and, in an
    undeclared, linked transaction I also want 400cc of Crown).

  5. Well, Tony rides a bike. The atheist slag Dullard is rumoured to sniff bikes
    seats. Not something I'm into but Fag's Nads seems to love it.

    and is only interested in competitive bicycling events or charity rides.

    He positively rejects that a bicycle is every going to be any part of
    future transport or planning. His waffle about "ever new ways of
    extracting oil" will provide abundant oil for the future at Red Hill
    decided my (LibVsLab)preference against him.

    We have an absolute doozy collection of "WTF is a bicycle" candidates for
    the reps here. Anyway;

    Ditto the Australian Lifestyle and Fishing party for similar reasons
    although the Shooters and Fishers probably have more chance of getting a
    candidate up.

    And there was me thinking that the Australian Sex Party were the most
    likely to get one up.

  16. Write an invisible friends request with invisible ink
    and when they reply, then you will know how many invisible friends you will
    have

  17. Forte trims your sig when I reply. I just don't see why you need to
    post your political diatribe into a motorcycle group.

    This is not aus.politics in case you hadn't noticed.

  18. Its not MY diatribe. Try Thunderbird and see why its a better newsreader.
    I don't see any need to change it based on which group I post to.

  19. But you have all those quotes in your sig file. Are you trying to tell
    me that if I use Thunderbird I won't see your sig quotes? If so, why
    do you bother putting them in there?

    Agent neatly dissects them when I hit reply so I have no reason to go
    to Thunderbird. But I also don't see why you feel the need to have a
    sig file that is twice as long as most of your posts. I think we
    understand your political stance from your login name.

  20. They show as light grey. Hardly noticeable.
    All good newsreaders should do that.
    It really irritates the labour stooges in aus.politics, and elsewhere.

    I may add more now as I picked up a few good ones last night.
