Your beloved Rat doesn't mind being called a knobjockey and has, in fact, been called a lot worse during his 35 years, and he also doesn't mind being called Capstan, Caption, Capsule, Capuchin, Captive or Captor, but to be referred to a CAPTIAN is an absolute disgrace and makes him sound like an Ian who has played in one or more tests.

"Listen chaps & chapettes" he said with feeling "We all need to be much more tolerant of each other, even if some on this Forum are real dickheads, plonkers, a total waste of space and oxygen, and are a blue-green algy outbreak in the aviation gene pool of life".

Then he added "Tolerance is bliss and before any of us criticise someone else we should always be sure to walk a mile in their shoes.

But no, dear reader, apart from Andy getting "concept" and "conceive" mixed up, resulting in our beloved Andy (until now) always wondered why his wife/partner/girlfriend/significant other (X-out those that do not apply {NTTIAWWT}) always gave him a knockback when he used his best foreplay arousal technique to ask "I suppose that a quick "concept" is out of the question", all is right with the world and the AUF aircraft continue to fly, until another fuel filter blockage will cause the BedpanAnimalEnclosures to exclaim that "It was caused by Jabiru, and even that Tiger Moth landing at Barwon was as a result of some issues with Jabiru engines ..........and they caused the Poms to lose at the cricket, and Collingwood's bad form last year, and my bald patch, and ..........

...we interrupt the story with a news item about Ratso, who has been pretending to be a bikie of some note in the bikes thread, where everyone who has trashed at least six good bikes is posting.Our friend the Rat posted that he was riding down to Phillip Island for the Races this weekend, and his unsaid implication was that it would be in a pack of tough hog riders.

 

Well Turbo had to spend a little time on the South Gippsland Highway this afternoon and who should be riding along, brown fur rippling in the breeze (except for the mangy part around his ears)...........at a steady 64.4 km/hr (which Turbo quickly calculated at 40 MPH, on an old HONDA BENLY which looked in a very sorry state.

From memory it did break, as did my mate's other XR69 that was being used by your informant's son on the 1st day.

(The 2nd one didn't "break" so much as it sprang a leak of the slippery stuff.)

Your informant borrowed my mate's XR69 at last year's event.

Steve is still listed on the Katana when the Aussie Team was announced just before Xmas, see below ................

Proposed Australian team

Team Captain Rex Wolfenden

Shawn Giles Suzuki Katana 1982 1294

Robbie Phillis will have 30 - 50 more HP this year too, I think.

Same here.

Leaving tomorrow to ride down to help a mate who is racing a couple of Manx's and a couple of Harris Suzukis.

But mainly to watch Shaun and Steve on the Katanas and watch/listen to Beau on the Vincent.

By the look of it just about everyone who in to aircraft are in to bike as well. I thought I was alone!Honda RS250 GP bike, Yamaha TZ250 GP, Kawasaki Z1R historic super bike, Yamaha RZ350 historic race bike and a Bowell 50cc scooter

G'day FL, from a fellow Wagga-ite-ite.

I assume that you are still governed by the LAMS requirements and if so there are some good bikes available that comply. If not you are perhaps into a different market.

My grandson just got his L's and I helped him into a Hyosung 650 that is a nice bike for someone on a rigid budget.

That is a bike that can take him through L's and P's and then perhaps a years or so after that, before he needs to trade up to something quicker, if he does indeed choose to keep going with bikes.

But the choice of bikes is just so individual.

However my recommendation is to get high bars (not clip-ons such as sport bikes), get a 600 - 650 type engine that will allow you to tour but will still be easy around town, then choose whether you want a traditional road bike or a trail bike based machine. If the latter, the DR 400/600 Suzuki's are good & cheap, as are similar brands.

Or if you have a quid, one of the 650/800 BMW's are also good and easy to ride to gain experience.

But it is so personal and up to "what light's your fire" so I wouldn't dare to give strong advice, however I hope this helps.

Man. Cant win hey. Some people say there isnt enough communication from the board. Some people say that maj should check everything he says with the board.It doesnt say "RAA board member" in his handle. This is not the official RAA website. He has been posting as Maj for years before he was on the board. He qualifies his statements as not being the views of the board (unless he is actually expressing board views). Whats the problem here people? Cant you see the resource for what it is. You have the ear of a board member here. He is willing to take comment and give some. I sence the axes are being grinned in the background here and its got little to do with Ross expressing his "qualified" opinion on jabiru engines. lets not forget, this dude has been fixing (and operating) aeroplane engines professionally since long before jabiru were around:)

I strongly commend Madge for his posts and for staying involved with this Forum. Most others bugger off from here as soon as they use this Forum as a platform, get known and get elected.

Oooh .....bit touchy there Captain ??...........Maj....

I sold my 230 some time ago and as mentioned on page 2 of this thread my personal view is that there is an issue there, however I also know owners that have had 100% reliability.

But I do object to such serious accusations as 3 jabs in one little group having "complete engine failures in flight in one week" being made without substantiation, particularly after the Zoo tried to connect the "inappropriate decision makers" in the 200 on the beach in NZ with some Jab failure conspiracy .............. so the Zoo has form in jumping the gun.

This is a very serious issue being discussed here and if it is proven, then Jabiru deserve what they get, but all I ask is that facts be used before an Aussie firm is pilloried.

Regards Geoff

He has many friends with jabs. They had a bit of warm weather (not hot ) and from his mates, 3 jabs had complete engine failures in flight in one week.

You may well be right and your little fairytale may well be true, but how about sticking with proven facts and leave this anecdotal stuff alone unless you can prove it.

Unless you can, this is juvenile.

Everyone knows someone who's brother knows 3 guys who have a sister who met a guy on holidays at some airport somewhere, flying something, who told him that she is aware of an uncle that knows a guy in a pub who is aware of something else that is exciting and supports the story that you want to spread around.

Gorilla Tape is the go. We use it in motorcycle road racing and it doesn't move at 150 mph.

Great stuff ................. see http://gorillaglue.com.au/eng/tapes/

Available in numerous engineering supplier type outlets and comes in small rolls too of various widths.

Hope this helps. Regards Geoff
