Next time you come to Southend, try my bike with tongsheng ts hub kit. The motor is Aikema 85SX but the kit is so sweet that it is my favourite bike. You can also try my CD bike with the ananda motor too.

Nothing special. I just ask the controller company to give me current control firmware.

I see the world is slowly moving to a better place. Super powers still use a lot of their military might but less as a percentage of their capabilities decade after decade: Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, the Balkans and now Ukraine. Countries that have been at war with the USA (Japan...

the default software is current controlled. Basically, you don't get much of a surge if any when you start off. The acceleration is totally predictable. Waterproofing: both the Camino and Gran Camino are very well protected against rain water, you can see by the design: all the cables are routed...

Bush nicks your oil, Putin nicks your land. Who is worse?

yes. Your motor simulator setup is pretty good too. The main thing about the Gran Caminom is it's designed for light trail riding. The wheels won't come off if you land on something really hard, the battery won't fly off the bike etc and it's very comfortable bike to ride too.

I am concerned about the kind of populism that Putin seems to promote. I suspect Russia funds it. It's now on the rise in France as much as elsewhere.

I don't think the West (or anyone else) is seeking a total defeat from Russia. Ukranians have already chosen to leave Russian orbit. That's already a win for the West. You'll see a Biden win in November, more F16s will be delivered, the Russian air force will be severely reduced, fewer rockets...

in the case of Putin, sanctions have worked relatively well. The West managed to compensate for lack of Russian oil and gas thanks to Canada, Norway and the world market. Russia has to sell oil at deep discount (no more than $60/barrel). Gazprom loses money for the first time in its history. The...

they did not have any reason to go against their commander in chief until now. Even maga republicans in congress had to pass the aid package to Ukraine. As I understand, the US voters are divided roughly one third registered Dem, one third registered Rep and one third independents. Among the...

Putin's hope is in Trump winning the election. Even if Trump did, which is a big if, given how unhinged Trump appears to be and polls recently, Trump would still be forced by the generals to choose Ukraine and against Putin for the foreseeable future.

Look at the value of the rouble since 2022. The rouble is a rough indicator of balance of power or success of Russian strategy. Putin made tons of profit at the beginning of the Ukraine war, the rouble was $0.0174 and now around $0.0111. Another indicator is the number of friendly nations which...

How long? Until Putin goes I guess. As for winning, the West has already won, like in chess, we are in middle game. Putin can't last forever.

I disagree. Putin is entirely to blame. He can choose to step down after two terms of office but he didn't. The war in Ukraine is a direct result of him clinging to power. He first took Crimea from Ukraine in 2014 and encouraged by Obama and Trump for doing nothing to stop him, he thought he can...

'Rwanda plan being quietly abandoned' Rwanda plan being ‘abandoned’ by Home Office staff despite Sunak flights pledge (msn.com)

The vast majority of immigrants are invited to come with job offers, they are not refugees. Real refugees are in much smaller numbers, about 10%, have no legal route to claim asylum outside the UK, so have to come via illegal routes. Trust me, the arguments are the same on the other side of the...

we have similar problems with illegal migrants in France too and the number is also similar. Some of the healthcare issues are dental treatments.

Google up how many Australia has deported illegal migrants and to where. You'll see that Australia deport a tiny number and mainly to to Nauru and Manus. Most are eventually given refugees status. So, the tiny number of deportees to off shore detention centres is not a sign of success as...

Let's talk about the way Australia deals with illegal immigrants. They have been dealing with this problem since the 1990s. They first passed a law in the 1990s to make arrest and detention mandatory without any limit of the duration of detention. Illegal entrants either stay in their detention...

why would the same comment not applicable to our borders? if we follow your logic, do we just tow their boats to some international waters?
