    What is really unbelievable is how cheap they sell themselves.. 3M in 8 years is less than the income of a CEO of a small firm.... Or the turnover of a corner shop

    Range on a New 500mAh Bosch

    Not necessarily.. lets say the journey was over very hilly ground, then going uphill the bike could with power assistance, achieve 15 mph , but on the downhill sections the bike could without power assist, achieve 25 mph,and the average could be 20 mph. If the starting and ending positions were...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Your information is slightly wrong, he was not PM at the time, but minister for justice, and both he and Blamey were sacked by Jack Lynch who was. Secondly they had not actually got the guns but were negociating for import licences that was foiled by the police and Irish army intelligence, and...

    Range on a New 500mAh Bosch

    The assistance power at any time is visible on the intuvia display as the vertical bar graph. In my experience the Bosch does give assistance beyond the 25 km level,.. on my display i see the bars flickering down in the range 26 to 27 and there is nothing beyond 27.1 There are other factors...

    Range on a New 500mAh Bosch

    .. does not make sense.. yes with turbo you will go a km or more faster, but in my experience battery power gets eaten up quicker. My preference is sport mode, or touring mode starting out and turbo on the return ... The most likely cause of a difference in your two cases is wind speed and...

    It may be revisionist, but my source was the very ernest young guide at the Rockefeller buildings in New York. He was much too young to have been a party to the discussions..... As indeed am I. He also provided additional information on other things that Rockefeller jnr did which lends...

    That was not quite my understanding. The story I heard tell was that Rockafeller, who was very much of the God Fearing Christian mentality , was so enthused by the prospects for world peace that the UN offered , that he offered and gave the land freely . He was also a NY benefactor , and of...

    20 mile commute on an Electric Mountain Bike...

    If it's 12 miles by car why is it not 12 miles by bike?. Motorway??? . . A good road bike of the Dutch frame type with marathon tyres ,is in my opinion the safest option. Good visibility, . Look at another kiwi graphs again. .. basically the wind is always against you . Say you are travelling...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I recently read a fantastic tale which involved a faked nuclear explosion contamination incident which made a section of the Navada desert a no go area. Then over a 10 year period, Jewish benefactors paid for the building of infrastructure on this contaiminated land. Then on a specific date and...

    The thread used on the French gas system from the cylnder is not any of the normal pitches used and is not interchangeable with anything else. . While the French plumbing does use the same thread and in some cases the fittings are replaceable with Irish and UK fittings, the same is not true...

    Sealed plastic containers. The only path for moisture or oxygen is via the plastic walls. I am very familiar with waxing .. happened with our kerosine when the temperature went below -10 c a number of years ago.

    An lpg tank would be a rciepe for vandalized , or theft. 40 litres of diesel is compact, long lived and very discreet. I'm not interested in theoretical solutions just practical ones to my transport problems and BREXIt..

    Actually no I haven't been in Paris for a number of years In our early days coming to France,Le Havre was the port of call, and i detested the air pollution all the way until well south of Paris. But my experience in rural France.. mainly Brittany, is that diesel cars are the most prevalent...

    Nothing i have said is in disagreement with what you have written. When one is abandoned, the only hope one has is that history will record the shame of the oppressor.. the UN has not abandoned them, but is ineffective in the light of of a USA veto. How much worse will it be if there is full...
