Hallelujah! It’s certainly an exciting and fantastic time to be alive! Those of us fortunate enough to be alive and healthy! Apologies to the group for my 2024 lack of presence. I’ve been busy renewing my mind - a riveting and competing passion! 🤣 Looking forward to following on from Downunder Bobby Kennedy and his MAHA efforts after January 2025 Happy revolutions and keep the wheels down… In wrapping up - here in Australia the WA government are soon to be implementing the toughest gun laws in the country - Canada facing a similar push - so those of you who enjoy hunting fill your stockings with guns and ammo! Freedoms being whittled away. G’day and Merry Christmas one and all! 🎄 🇦🇺 🍻👍😎

Gears Are Good: a pictorial case for gears In keeping with the D-Day anniversary, here is an archive photo of the valve-timing gears from the Bristol Hercules radial engine. This was a 14-cylinder two-row radial sleeve aero engine produced by the Bristol Engine Company starting in 1939. It powered the Bristol Beaufighter heavy fighter, and was commonly used on British bombers at the time. This engine was designed on drawing boards, using manual drawing instruments and 2D orthogonal projections. No 3D solids, no CAD simulations to check for geometric interference.

If it’s O2 sensor equipped - when operating in closed loop it will always eventually optimise fuelling to stoichiometric ratio of approx 14.7:1 even if you free up the breathing. As soon as you crack open the throttle it’ll be into open loop by which although a generally richer air fuel mixture from factory you can focus on changing and optimising to suit your mods and performance tastes. After my own experience on my bike - I now would always start by upgrading the O2 sensor for a quality, sensitive (as in quick-changing) sensor first. And proceed from that starting point onwards

Spent 10 ripping days zigzagging from Biarritz on the Atlantic across the Pyrenees to the Mediterranean on my Scura R with a couple of English mates where we discovered Carajillo after Foie Gras to power the nights. Lucky to get a few hours morning sleep in a hammock. Outstanding! Politically correct is caving to the vagaries of over bloated offence. Stuff ‘em Vive la Basque!🪿

This world in my hand dissolves when riding thru the bush in the hills to the syncopated beat - pulling into a no reception pub my pint filled hand soon becomes more than the sum of its parts In reality it’s a lovely break… from the matrix! My Guzzi rides are my grounding Cheers 🍺

You could be totally correct on the congestion and fees But I tend to take a more nuanced view 😏

This is an intro into the above post. The report itself is a little long to read so it will only appeal to some, but for those who find detail interesting it is a fascinating in depth dive into what’s driving the transport agenda in the UK Question is: why are all these US billionaire's inserting themselves into another sovereign country’s processes

There’s a mishmash of searching for a solution and all slightly improve but not 100% cure These issues appear to have been resolved in the European spec bikes - it’s a done and dusted issue in the Italian Anima Guzzista discussions Did Daveguzzi1 get his resolved?

The social trends you speak of seem to be driven by a lot of US philanthropy dollars! This report is revealing https://togetherdeclaration.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/CleanAirDirtyMoneyFilthyPolitics_pub_2.pdf

That’s a massive increase - 25% ! Was sales way down last year or have a large proportion of farmers come into money and decided to splurge on a bike instead of a JD?

That’s a bold statement - longevity for sure but they aren’t that good Raw Rock n Roll as it should be? Not many would argue against AC/DC

Is Britain the canary in the coal mine? I’m expecting a V100 LeMans to be released by end of 2025 to coincide with completion of MG factory production revamp. If this tips a trend will that realistic expectation turn into a vain hope? Geoff Buys Cars keeps a close eye on the UK scene

It’s not so much the bubbling but the paint deteriorates to a faded grey looking salt lick

One reason nobody’s listening is that there’s a lot of ‘in plain sight’ obfuscation going on under our noses that various levels of grubberment are implementing. Here in Australia it’s rife. Here’s an insightful discussion about how the climate emergency scare will move people and communities from their homes
