very interesting! Thanks for posting that!! Basically, quite a positive outlook on motorcycles and where they want to go with it. There are some "illuminating" facts in there, some of which quite sobering.
There are, of course, bits on antisocial aftermarket products, etc. But, interesting stuff on car drivers mentality, bus lanes and crime!!!:)

Is that an AK47 avatar? Looks more like a Scorpian.

pages 42 up to 52 sums things up without haveing to read all the jargon on all the other pages
cant find anything that should be over threatening to our enjoyment of motorcycles

I have survived on forums for many years and no-one has ever questioned the authenticity of my weapon!!!

I'll bow to your better judgement.....to me it is an AK still

I was amazed to read that in 1960 motorcycling traffic was at 10 billion vehicle kilometers. In 2003 it was only about 5.6 Billion! Wouldn't have guessed that! There were also almost 3 times as many licensed motorcycles back then.

Btw, that was on page 8, didn't make it much further...

It achieves basically the same end result so thats good enough for me!

Defintely not an AK47 ... I had to give a lesson on the strip and assembly of the AK47 on a promotion course once ...

Not as easy as the F88 Austeyr (http://www.adi-limited.com/2-01-010-010-026.html) or as light for that matter ...

It's easy to hijack a thread when you've got a big gun
