Palm oil based plastics and rubber

I've pulled motors out of Goldwings Drew.

It's not a particularly difficult or time consuming job.

Wouldn't think it is, but comletely pulling it down and looking for gnawed on bits certainly would be.

I was told that its a back to the frame strip of everything..., then re-fit . They seemed to be of the opinion that it would take a week to complete. Im told the plastics even smell good to the buggers. Talk about meals on wheels. The local shop said they have quite a few quads in as well as the odd bike. Mo DR trailie was also nibbled but I was able to sort that out myself. Got 2 rats so far and had a heap of poison removed from the bait stations. The cat got 1 as well. I have 2 gin traps and a cage trap.

So you'd be in the market for one of those plug it in the wall type sonic rat scaring off things then.
Darn sure I would be after that lot.

Mind you,my loom is worth about $50 an I can remake an replace the lot in a morning +beers.

After seeing for myself the deforestation in Borneo caused by the palm plantations I'd say the same thing with a serious hat on. Sorry, but I would prefer to use up the underground resources first before pulling down habitats like that.

Palm oil is far from green. Ask Cadburys.

Abso-bloody-lutely . Indonesia and Malaysia in particular have been bowling over native forest to plant palms. Trouble is, it's a pretty sterile environment which doesn't support native animals.

How old were those Goldwings?

My Wing is 2009. I have seen a Zappa which delivers thousands of volts that looks interesting. I would like do send a load of 00Buckshot at the buggers though.

I had a Rat problem at a previous rental and caught a rather large fooker in a trap. The trap didn't kill it but the blow to the head with a spade certainly did. I'd have taken a much slower approach to killing it if my bike had been chewed on. Hemp covered lounge suites are another mouth-watering commodity to rodents, as a friend of mine discovered the hard way.

I have seen rats eat copper wave guide cable (think large plastic cover water pipe, used on cell phone towers) so I don't think they have very cultured taste buds. But palm oil may make it taste better, I have also seen quads eaten by cows the only plastic left was the parts under the carriers that they could not reach.

Four thousand dollars for a wiring loom?
That just seems absurd, I mean, imagine if it was you, not the insurance company that had to fork out for it (well, I guess that's an odd statement, as we are all paying for it in our premiums), but, shit, that is lots of money for a wiring loom.

$4500 incl the front loom. Yeah I call bullshit on that. The cost of the wiring itself wouldn't account for 2or3% of that. Just how much does it cost for labour and connectors to make a loom when everything is mapped out?

I can see how Blue Wing turn that into $4500. Granted not all the components would be necessary but the main loom alone has a MSRP of NZ$2053

or $1,600 NZD http://www.hondapartsnation.com/page...CA5MCAAF3500GD is not $4000 but it is still a fucking rip off.

You fools, it's a Honda Goldwiring.

You'll notice on my link they sell it for $1432, but remember this is Blue Wing. The same outfit that will sell you a rear seat cowl for $620, when I landed one here from America, retail plus all taxes and freight for $280.

At least you can get parts from Bluewing. I'm still waiting for parts from Triumph NZ (read as ripoff cunts) since 04.

I just noticed mouse prints on one of my vehicles in my workshop and have just brought some bait stations and put them around the shop. I normally would not use them as I ususlly have my dog with me but all the talk about vermin has made me a little paranoid.
