    Likewise, I always disliked the torque reaction on both BMWs and our Sunbeam S7 and S8 BMW imitators. .

    Ross Clark has it wrong, Farage was right. It's not about Ukraine's freedom to choose a defensive alliance to join, this was about the USA persuading Ukraine to join their NATO aggressive alliance and the EU for their own anti-Russian purposes. Before the start of the 2004 US campaign under...

    Misrepresentation again. I haven't said that and we legally came to Poland's aid with our declaration of war when Hitler invaded, since we had a prior defence agreement with Poland. And now distortion again with false information. No, it was the United Nations we internationally set up...

    The usual distorted misrepresentation, not at all reflecting the expressed views and replacing them with your own warped bias. They are ALL the bad guys, the USA and NATO as well, and all have the right to be bad guys in their own countries or if truly in defence of their own countries. That...

    Which excludes the USA and NATO, both repeatedly treating international borders and the human rights of many in other countries with utter contempt. A misunderstanding there, I am absolutely not a populist. I agree they are bad, often appalling, and have never disagreed with that. But they...

    You're in a dream world. Of course they won't see that, because it isn't true in any way. NATO, originally intended to be a defensive organisation, changed to being an offensive one very long ago. The Balkans, Iraqi Gulf Wars to a two NATO member extent, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria were all...

    That's the impasse, we may never be able to reach a better society without autocracy to force our way there. But a better society is now desperately needed worldwide, since our current democratic systems are failing miserably, leaving everyone increasingly unhappy. Much of that is due to our...

    That is the view of those who are happy with their lot in life. it certainly isn't shared by many millions. Like those who still indefinitely suffer the immense harm that Western wars have done. Like those in supposedly civilised societies who exist homelessly on the breadline. Like those who...

    That's too simplistic. Bush and Co. not only nick your culture and identity with bribery and lies, replacing it with the American Coca Cola and McDonalds one. If you have any left leaning politically they first kill a few million of you. That was what the Yalta conference was about, to...

    But are you sure you know who the gangster is? By far the worst gangster from 1950 to now has been the USA with it's near constant wars in countries where they mostly had no legal right to be, creating chaos and millions of deaths in the process that we are still suffering from. Over the the...

    You might believe that, trouble is the Russians don't, being convinced more than ever now that the West is their enemy. The failure to understand Russia's defensive paranoia has been a Western fault for at least 200 years, leading to endless misunderstanding that continues to this day. That's...

    No, yet again they haven't worked. Russia still exports oil and grain freely, helped by the West**, and they still import freely all the Western items they need and the weapons and ammunition for the Ukraine war. They won't emerge a much weaker power in real terms since their country's...

    No, that war will most likely be brought to an end by agreement while Putin is still in power in Russia. As I predicted in the earlier stages in the war, we will yet see Putin and some western leaders shaking hands, with all talk of prosecution for war crimes forgotten. Just look at history...

    Ukraines independance was never threatened by Russia. It was Russia who created the country called Ukraine just over a century ago when Lenin gave them their independence for the first time ever in 1917 as a separate country and Krushchev who later expanded Ukraine's territory and power...

    You need to reset your calendar, taking into account all the events your were taking no notice of in earlier decades, so as a result you've fallen for the American lie that Putin is intent on reviving the USSR. He has no such intent, knowing that is impossible anyway, and as I've shown you...

    I don't like Farage or his political ambitions, but he is absolutely right that Nato, prompted and led by the USA, is entirely responsible for the Ukraine war. The continuous provocation that eventually led to Russia attacking started in 2004 as I'd long ago detailed in another thread...

    This has been obvious ever since the 1990s, even with signs of it in the 1980s. And it's not just resources, it's about controlling power. .

    Brake mods on an old tourer.

    And what sensible mudguards, the front one going well down with a mudflap completely protecting the bottom bracket area. These were once normal on all bicycles, unlike the ridiculously short ones on today's bikes which offer almost no protection at all. Not to even mention the fully enclosed...
