Urm Wrong. Those are 75's one of the few models developed under BMW that the company was left with when BMW cut and ran, taking the only vehicle that might have saved Rover ( the new Mini designed by Rover employees ) with them. To my mind my neighbour who lost his job today and about 6000 other workers BMW were thieving gits. Mr Towers aint much better either!

The Old 400 series were Honda based models.

Hehehe...I owned a Victor Special back about 1972/1973. I loved riding it when it felt cooperative enough to function (friggin beast would climb !ANYthing! and ya had to love the handling).

But it taught me truly that BSA = Bastard Stopped Again

Got a mate who rides one. Lovely bike. Seems to go OK for him. Starts first or second kick. You need an electronic ignition conversion get rid of the points, then they go just fine.

relax skyprancer... the mean ol Americans aren't invading you... we simply have what your people want and, allways being 20 years or so behind us... you are just catching up.

I like this pres because he is taking us further from socialism and whacko liberal ideas.. I don't trust any government tho. this one just intrudes on my life less than the alternative.. I will vote for anyone who promises les government tho and has a prayer of winning.

as for the mean ol pres getting your.. what? countrymen? killed... well... you eruo barbarians hold the record for getting everyone involved in your ridiculous global conflicts... we would need your participation in 50 iraq's to catch up to your butrchery of our people in said conflicts... MY countrymen.

Buy what you want... I know I do.. I buy American vehicles because they are suited perfectly for our country. Gas is cheap... roads are long and wide and guys can open up 400-1000 hp cars that we can build on the cheap in a month... the parts come right to the door. Not only that but the sun shines here and it glints off our perfect teeth.... compliments of capitalist dentists on every corner.

You claim to like Americans but hate our pres... I have never heard you say a good thing about anything American. Bush didn't write the constitution or the second amendment.

In all your guises... you are simply a thinly veiled and jealous Ameriahater... Just admit it and get it off your narrow chest.

It is certainly such a nice thing to know that that there are people in your neck of the woods that are not idiots. I certainly don`t include you in this group.
I think British affairs is the last thing "GW" wishs to be involved in. I believe it has actualy fell way down on the list in general. Your "boys" getting killed certainly cannot be blamed on our country. You either have cajones or you don`t. I believe what might upset you so much was when the smacketh was layeth downeth and the choices were put out in the open.by our Pres. I believe it boiled down to...either get on or get out, no in between any more. You are either an ally or an enemy. Simple as that. You are one of the very few that seems to have a problem with that.

Oh yea, I know, you included the standard Zulu/Americon/Skylilter..Tin whatever disclaimer of " just kidding". It didn`t fly the first time and it damn sure don`t fly now.
You are an embarresment to your country, to the world and to men everywhere. When are you going to realize that you are making a fool of yourself? Most everyone else realized this a long time ago.
Sit back , relax and try to do some thinking, would ya? If you are going to try everything that you can to show how jealous you are of the U.S. , then for Gods sake try to use some intelligence and at least come up with something that doesn`t glow in neon how big a total flat liner you are.

I just love it when you prove things like this. You bet, take the only thing that`s workable and efficient and change it over to something you are at the total mercy of when it goes south.
3:00 A.M. in the morning, 200 miles from nowhere if the points fail you can either reach in the bags and put another $2.00 set in or pull out the old nail file and give em a swipe......BOOM .. knees back in the breeze and you are a happy camper.
3.00 A.M. in the morning , 200 miles from nowhere and the idiot box goes... It`s gone, kaput, end of story. In stead of your knees out, you have your thumb out and you better make sure to either count your cash or have some Yup plastic handy when the sun comes up cause you are gonna need it.

Gosh man,. Can`t you read? He added the super secret, fool the dumb Americans line of "just kidding".
It`s all the latest rage you know. You are not supposed to be able to see through this. I mean...gee ... wiz.....it`s secret and very wiley ya know.
I mean all down the line, through the all the shades, including the latest, is a cleverly thought out and ingenious plan.

Geezz..the Evil Amercican Empire must be stopped at all costs and Zulu/Ameri/Skylilter/canine is just the secret agent to get it done with his superior intelligence above us mere mortals. I mean even if we were a fraction as sharp as this tack we would have figured out long ago how to get a quarter of beef, 200 lbs of ice, an Amana radar range., garbage disposal, enough wood to BBQ for 50 people minimum, a fridge, a big screen TV, a DVD, a full bath with shower and sauna and 3 midget waiters all on one bike. This was done before even attempting to go to Sturgis in a Chrylser product or before having to singlehandedly wipe out 30 bikers on a pier.
Do you actualy think you can even compare to such superior feats of a super hero such as this?

lazs2 · « **Reply #66 on:** April 16, 2005, 09:37:37 AM »

so... I should be putting "just kidding" in my posts to him? Even if I'm not?

I'm just wondering how long it will be till his girlfriend tells him to change his handle again.

Best I can tell that is the way it works, but of course I have not been granted access to the secret decoder ring. I still need 3 more box tops.

His Loss Gscholz.

And our loss too as two of my neighbours now have no Job! Bad nes round here. Sadly though predictable. To be honest I think bad or unrealistic management killed the company! Just like the majority of our Motorcycle Industry.

............................. ............................. ............................. .............

Ah I go way for a weekend and the Jackal Lazs buddy boy lets flame the Sh*t out of Sky starts again. Yawns loudly, you guys are pillocks.

There Wasn't that a much quicker way to get the flaming done so that space isn't wasted and people can get on with talking.

Your both utterly predictable xenophobic and realy quite boreing. instead of twisting up your panties every time I post why don't you just chill out, talk to others like you. Ie Closed minded If it aint USA it is S**t people and then you can ignore me. Put your fingers in your ears and go nyah nyah nyah. Then the flame baiting and crud can stop and the rest of us can han have an opinion and a bit of a larf too without every thread getting wrecked by Mr Jackal in particular spouting a load of insult and crud. ( Lazs at least you respond to the points madein some logical fashion )

Remember there's nothing worse than people who take themselves so seriously they can see their own ring!

Japanese autos fragile ? Doesn't nissan make their bodies out of steel that is guages thicker than any other manufacturer? I've had fords, gm's, nissans and toyotas. The nissan and toyota are the only ones that I would deem dependable. If you buy an american automobile with a japanese engine, what you got is a car that will fall apart before the engine needs any major maintenance.

As far as the allusion to german planes.. all of the german fighters, yes both of them were grossly inefficient. Thank goodness Hitler hated the jewish germans.

Suave · « **Reply #71 on:** April 18, 2005, 03:08:34 AM »

Upon further introspection, I believe deep down that that ford Tbird contributed more to getting me panocha then any of the other autos. And I believe that is the yard stick with which all things between the mud and the rain are measured.

Skydancer · « **Reply #72 on:** April 18, 2005, 03:17:39 AM »

Well maybe export models are different but my girlfreinds Nissan seems very tinny. All the Japanese bikes I've ever owned fell apart if I ever rode them through winter. I guess this all depends on your experience!

Siaf__csf · « **Reply #73 on:** April 18, 2005, 03:35:07 AM »

My butt feeling tells me my old mercedes rides quieter, firmer and faster than my friends new Toyota. It also gets better mpg despite having 50% bigger displacement and twice the horsepowers.

Let`s see.... USA jealousy coming through loud and clear.
The "please put me on ignore" whine is working .
The experimental "try someone else`s line because mine are not working" transmitter is functional, but faltering.
The Auto "make the bad man go away" device is still operational after 50 plus uses
Commence the "I`m gonna convince someone that I have a clue theory device" is malfunctioning as usual.

Yep, your good to go. Let er roll.
