  1. what happened to the handlebars?

    my scooter fell over in the wind last night (yay wellington) when i picked it up and took off the cover the handlebars had moved down, like they were knocked down out of place with a hammer. Anyway i started it up and rode it somewhere more sheltered and it rode fine except the handlebars were closer to the seat and made it difficult to turn tight corners. Anyone know what the heck happened to them?

  3. Anti-Insanity

    Albert Einstein once said "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results".

    1. Money is plucked out of thin air. It does not grow on trees. It is manufactured. It does not need form i.e. paper or gold etc... Its creation is authorised by some body somewhere. We didn't just find a stash of money and start passing it out. Currently we use the fractional reserve banking system to justify the creation of money. Make no mistake ...

  6. DS80 lives again

    Have just spent the last couple of weeks rebuilding the engine of Biker Bee's bucket. Even though the engine was still running I discovered the piston skirt had broke into little balls, travelled through the transfer ports and kept fouling the spark plug.

    So I decided to use the spare engine and see the photos to see what I found. Gotta love a farmer's care of machinery.
