A lot of bad feelings arising.

The recent death of a young rider and the rapid extraction to the USA of the driver of the car using "diplomatic" immunity is causing a lot of bad feelings. Its also probably unnecessary as it was most likely a genuine accident caused by a momentry lack of attention which is understandable . It raises a lot of questions though that need answers.
something breaking is an accident, the rest is undue care. the bad feeling arises from the sneaking out of said lady and not facing the consequences of her actions, when she had earlier said she would remain for questioning.
 
Trump has done it again, A crass attempt at a photoshoot to show the "big I am" has trampled all sensibilities into dust. His idea of the special relationship is a one way street. Thank God for the couples advisor who bravely put a stop to it.
trump,bush the younger and blair….all love to send men to war but never had the minerals to go themselves or send their sons!!!!
 
In Victoria, if you drive on The Great Ocean Road, it is quite common to find yourself coming head-on at a car driven by a foreign tourist. If you go down that way a lot, you know the risk. Also on that road, there are a lot of motorcycle accidents involving middle-aged guys riding Harleys.
most Harleys are ridden by … middle age guys who wouldn't go near a bike in the early 70's when I started. too dirty . look at em. leather chaps and patches. dunno about the ace and the old manor. they'd look more at home in heaven bloody night club!

was actually a reference to them only buying a bike in their later lives and not bothering till they are clothing friendly. :)
 
Accidents used to be very common in the 70's n 80's until they shut down upper heyford airbase up the road from croughton, but I will stand corrected that I cannot remember anyone running away during that time !! The new intakes didn't like our warm beer so may have gone AWOL for that reason. !
 
And I thought the new to Harley and bikes in general ,crowd got into the lifestyle as a fashion thing .... last week met a fellow on a red frame Triumph Bonny ( modern) .... he had very blue pipes ,I mentioned that he could address the issue now that bike was off warr. , he said injected and pointed to lambda sensor on pipe and told me that was a system to return unburned combustion gas back to engine for enviro concerns , the nice lady teacher on Duc beside me told him he could try a ”tuneboy” , the poor guy had no clue what we were going on about , he sure could describe all the useless farkels, special flat paint on bike and red frame , though , plus he had prolly $3000 of gear on , the bike had less than 3K , it was a 2014 , I think ...
 
According to the dead man's parents, Trump tried to buy their silence and also tried to surprise them by having the woman who ran over their son and left him for dead in the next room. The parents refused both. The young man reportedly laid on the road for an hour until his father arrived on the scene. I guess she didn't even call an ambulance.
 
that's how it works with diplomats... take this card. any problems, do nothing call this number. we'll clean it up! licence to be an uncaring selfish twat.
 
My understanding is the culprit is not even eligible for diplomatic status, just using it as an excuse. It is the US government that seems to be protecting her for no obvious reasons other than being a person of privilege.
 
Bugger, Lemmy left us to live in the US, bless him, he's not well ! Mind you when I saw him in the 80's he wasn't looking his best. Back to the thread, we don't have enormous left hand drive American vehicles around our little lanes anymore. Then the locals moaned about loss of trade ?????
 
Always liked visiting USA lots of good times south of the border , until leadership there changes we staying home , hope to see the “Boss” live again on his turf ,before it too late for us .

Imagine that.
