    I've done the second more than once - perhaps I really should start worrying about the first!

    ....are a bunch of ex-race horses that really should be taken out and shot, and turned into McChicken burgers. "I'll have you know that no horse of mine has ever been eaten at McCrappers" claimed the Kiwi. "However, it is a FACT that my lamb is the best in town, and you can even ask.....

    ...the one dollar Rat. "I swore that I would never spend more than the cost of a pot of watered down, warm bear on any of my tools, but this spanner grabbed me like no other ever had."

    ...enough to carry me higher than a Jab's CHTs on a warm day. The Major (edit: make that Lieutenant, following the disciplinary hearing) collected his papers, posting him to the dog kennels. Picking up his mop and bucket, he started cleaning sadly, wondering where it all went wrong. "A man can dream of such things, surely?" he mused to himself. "I'll give you something to dream about, sonny jim" snapped Colonel Mavis, OC of the punishment division. "While you are cleaning up the mess my puppies made, you can dream of......

    My old university, although I tended to steer clear of the arts faculty. Those cats were a little....odd! Interesting that they used personality as a reason to pick between the applicants at the end, I hope they qualified that decision with some sort of evidence base. I'm knee deep in four years of personality research at the moment, and in my experience there is a whole lot more to personality (and performance) than what can be subjectively judged from the outside..... Regardless, congrats to the successful applicant and fingers crossed for the future. It is not an easy time to be taking over, but could be a very rewarding time if the new GM is willing to work with the members.

    Now that sounds awfully familiar.....

    Congrats Wayne! Haven't seen him post here for quite a while, while we disagreed over one thing that I can recall (unrelated to RA-Aus), he certainly was one of people whose voice (text) I read closely and whose contributions I personally valued.

    PS Fly-Tornado is a real character and sometimes does some great posts. But he also needles people mercilessly so just don't rise to the bait. Or you can dog him yourself until he cracks, doesn't work very well but he takes it in good spirits

    Nice website and good work with "selling" the idea. If I wasn't so scared of heights I would give it a go! Actually I probably will anyway one day, just need to find the time. Welcome to the forum to Pete, I have seen a few members who paraglide on here. Good to have someone knowledgeable to be able to answer the questions. Shane

    "No, I'm game" said the worker in a choked, nasally voice, obviously suffering from bird/swine/raaus flu. "Why does everyone think that I'm miserable? I'm game to hop into a car with you, last time I did this some bloke called Lox picked me up, he was wearing a school girl's uniform and wanted me to spank him with my 12 inch ruler!" Turbo pondered the turn of events, and considered how he might use this new dirt on the Magnificent Moderati. "Maybe I can blackmail him into....."

    Here is the problem OME - it is rapidly becoming not viable for manufacturing of most kinds in this country. Add to that a relatively small population for purchasers, and a lot of competition from internationals and you have little incentive for someone with a spare 6 or 7 figure bank account to invest in a new design.

    That's sad to hear HITC - I am sure that I am not the only one to read avidly without posting much. It's more of a learning experience for me. Keep us posted if the discussion continues elsewhere, I'd love to keep following it. Shane

    I've got both of Neil Williams' books, and they are fantastic.

    I guess the other thing to consider is whether there is any precedent, or whether many people are actually asking for it. If Turbo was competing in drag racing in Brisbane and had an accident, would the association that governs that sport pay to fly a family member up from Mexico? And how many members are asking for such an arrangement to be made? At least one is mentioned, but is it something that is seen as desirable in the wider group?

    Love to help you guys out but I have family coming to stay for the weekend already....

    And even for those of us not so young any more Nev. I would still get a kick out of it. A good friend of mine built a B737-800 simulator in his garage and it looked very realistic. My kids were blown away when they climbed in because they had never seen an airliner copckpit.

    Loxie could choreograph the movements of the board like a puppet on a string. "Why won't you use your powers for good, rather than evil?" asked the turbo charged pocket rocket "Well" replied the Poh-Lox "If I did that, then all the members would be happy and we can't have that. And they might also find out that there isn't a photo of my tail skid marks in my file, and there would probably be a lynch mob after me!!!" Turbo wasn't so convinced, after all, the last lynch mob proved spectacularly good at failing to lynch anyone. Maybe if they used rope instead of......

    I'll weigh in here - I've followed many of your comments for quite some time HITC, both here and at HBA. I'm more of a reader than a talker though, as I prefer to let those who know what they talk about do most of the talking! Regarding a second seat....I liken it to motorcycles. Have a look at any late model 1000cc sportsbike. They all have ridiculous and impractical pillion seats. The handling of the bike is usually much worse with a passenger, and the majority of the time they are ridden one up. That said, how often do you see a single seat litre bike for sale? The market dictates that it must be there, even if it isn't well utilised. I think you may be on to something about 1 and a 1/2 seater. Or if possible make it buildable without the pillion seat for 95.10 if preferred, to cover all bases. Shane

    I must have missed the previous discussion that lead to this thread, but I can highly recommend the SPOT tracker. I know a couple of adventure riders who needed to activate theirs after an accident near Cameron's Corner, and used to use mine when on long rides so that my family can follow. Of course now I don't have the time for the rides, but it will always be added to my kit when going off the beaten track.

    ....waiting room for the RA-Aus special general meeting. "I do hope that you are a paid up member Hendra" queried LongLocks, "You know that if you aren't, you will be automatically nominated for Prez." Hendra pondered this for a moment, before replying "I'll have to check with the Telly Tubby, he is managing my financial affairs at the moment and I am worried that there may be a skeleton or two in the closet...." This reminded the rodent of the need to check the closet in the Rathaus - he really doesn't want anyone to find the......
