    There was a good doc on Prime on Sgt Peppers....clever productions but not as durable as Revolver, the best Beatles album.

    Would that electric Honda have no rego costs being electric?
    Good points: condition and maybe rarity. Bad points: all reissues. Check out discogs.

    as for the Honder - my understanding is that if it is more than 300W (which it would need to be because I bet that thing weighs north of 200kg) then it is a motorcycle. As to which category - not sure.

    ...still off topic, but I think I have the Ogdens Nut Gone Flake album you talk of, in very good condition. I wore my first one out, much like I wore out my first Machine Head and Dark Side Of The Moon albums...I and another person , a motorcycle racer, still slip into Stanley's story and recite a few lines now and again, to be looked at sideways by anyone listening...

    Agree 100% - adverts like this just imply the bike is not up to a WOF.

    Are they not friggen cool though - still look good after all these years.
