Moto GP to go to 800cc in 2007

Atmosphere? In a coffee bar? First go to the 300 odd cloned ones until
you find the one that's good... then enjoy the atmosphere [/QUOTE]

Yeah, but its not _that_ hard to discover the _good_ cafes if thats what
you care about...

Petit Creme, Campos, Tobys Estate (the Potts Point one is a bit too
small for "good atmosphere, but the other two are great), Single Origin,
Hernandez, Allpress (tho Alexandria is mostly too out of the way for me
to bother)...

Troll !!

In 24hrs ? Yeah, you could do it. I wouldn't want to though. That'd be
what 1800km ?

(there'd have to be an iron bum award in that !)

Cough *nobend* cough * cough * tosspot * cough *

Hammo (yes, I wander what the poor people are up to today?)

 

Yeah, we've got (had anyway) the CNG buses here as well, never heard it
called NGV before.

JL

 

Yeah but you buy girly bikes as well as girly cars, so you hardly count !

JL

 

I dunno, I guess they've got no Ducatis to park outside cafes either, eh?

I've done Melbourne to Brisbane in a day quite a number of times
(although it takes me about 21 hours...)

Is addy to tweed heads via the back blocks of NSW much further?


G-S

 

That's an awful lot of trouble to go to to save a couple of bucks !

JL

 

Tell us the truth... it's the emu population that you want further away
isn't it?


G-S

 

Well if it starts falling apart then yeah an older is more
expensive,(never been my experience though buying recently second hand)
but "hitting you with higher servicing costs" is a furphy - you should
be paying the actual costs of fixing what breaks. And the lease cost for
a 3 year old car should be the purchase cost times the interest rate,
don't confuse maintenance costs with lease costs - you may pay a bundled
deduction estimate for maintenance but you should be reconciling your
costs at the end of each FBT year.

JL

 

I did ;-)


G-S

 

Did I mention I was in the 4x4 with a car trailer and car on the back?
Not in a bus... ok... I did... alright... carry on then


G-S

 

OI! I happen to own a chain drive Kawasaki as well ;-P

Technically the fuel is CNG... the vehicles are NGV (or CNGV) ;-)


G-S

 

Can't remember... I'd have to look it up... but it was like $20,000 a
drum and so toxic they had to import staff from melbourne to handle it
(the cost of which makes the fuel slightly unviable at the moment

Nothing wrong with Volvo buses... but I haven't seen any information
advertising
any alternative fuel Volvo buses. So if they exist they aren't pushing
them out here.

I was more thinking of JL as an elf to Clem's Santa... the question
remains though... "where would we sit the elf"


G-S

 

The trouble is they were marketed as hoon bikes, and stock they
aren't... so people end up modding them or using them as tourers.


G-S

 

It went close (may even have topped) the sports/tourer list... but it
_isn't_ a sports bike. It's a sports/tourer or a hoolagin bike or a
muscle bike... but not not not a sports bike (the SP1/SP2 are OTOH). [1]


G-S

[1] Which is why I queried the comment, I just naturally assumed people
were talking about the SP1/SP2 which _is_ hondas sports bike twin *shrug*

Sorry, bad wording on my part, I meant "top selling road bike (excluding
the CT110)" - as in 'it outsold all of the "sports bikes"'...
