Well f*$#k me this thread has taken a turn from the original bitch of the cock smokers putting up the price of durries.

Yes I like to smoke, I like it a lot. To those that dont smoke I respect your decision / choice. I hope that you can respect mine.

All pollies are lying, cheating f*#ks that do nothing but rip us off.

They can all go f*#k themselves, as I choke another gasper.

Freedom of speech, I love till the arseholes put a tax on it

hmmm now you’ve just given them an idea/ heads up on an extra source or revinue!! :unsure: :S :blush: :blink: :huh: :laugh: :laugh:

oh and i forgot, this thread has just gone exactly as the pollies, everywhere except the original topic :silly: :silly: :ohmy: 😆 :cheer: :laugh: :woohoo:

Seems this topic has gone in two directions. So on the bike topic there is now a police blitz on unregistered riding in the northern NSW and QLD border ranges. I used to smoke but i sold my RGV years ago!!! But the cost of rego could entice me back into it again in the form of KTM300!!!

1st off the used to smoke but sold the RGV = :laugh: :cheer: 😆 :woohoo: :cheer: :laugh: 😆

and 2nd i doubt that the RGV would be much cheaper if any than the 300 2T. as the NSW CTP rates are worked out on, capacity up to 100cc, 101-300cc, 301-700cc, and 701cc and up. then the cost is worked out on location/post code/ suburb, age of the bike and the age of the youngest rider.

and as i have just reaffirmed it pays to ring around and compare, NRMA was $127 dearer than QBE, but for my old car NRMA was cheaper by about $50-80 for the CTP. so go figure.

hmmm you cannot ride where you please here north of the boarder,

the local plod put a notice in the paper saying that any motor bike ridder found/caught riding in the bush/forests/state parks, not on the fire track/ designated / named roads will be fined.

but there are no trail riding plods here so getting caught by a 4wd bull wagon are slim :laugh: :woohoo:

[drewMember]

is that one on the far right a 625?!?! :woohoo:

OOPS far left. or is that far middle :silly:

the headers and mid pipe. look exactly the same as om my k8ii

yeah well :blush: i was a bit excited :laugh:

[drewMember]

i as a non smoker have absolutely know idea what you fellas will be going through! :unsure:

as someone said though, they jamb the tax up on ciggs, but will they lessen the tax on the products like the patches for those that want to have a crack at quitting are not forking out just as much as smoking anyway? Nooo. :angry:

the new tax has nothing to do with the health of the public! it only has to do with the health of the polly’s pocket.

and don’t get me started on the ciggy’s manufacturers. in one study in the states they increased the nicotine content to a level where it makes it that much harder for smokers to quit, and that 1st time smokers get enough of it from 1 cigg. to get hooked.

Hey Dan, maybe you could look into seeing if you can get some seed?? :whistle: :pinch:

[drewMember]

yup, you know i’m the softest OB member there is

plus i have not the stamina or bike riding fitness of all the other guns that will be attending.

[drewMember]

re read my post i said friday and sunday.

i know ‘we’ had booked for saturday. i’ll stay on sunday after the ride, i doubt i’ll be up to driving home after the two loops :blush:

[drewMember]

i may very well be wrong i saying Japan Mick, the one i’m thinking of is more than just an airport. it is a whole new island/ city.

come to think of it it may be China???, it’s one of the countries where there is the one child pre household/ couple policy. and on this new island ( could be 15 yrs ago now) there is/wasn’t the one child policy.

i wasn’t implying this alone would have a big impact but as BC pointed out it soon ads up quick.

on a ride a while ago we came across a motor bike tube that had obviously been replaced out in the bush. a comment at the time was they could carry it in with them. so i took it upon myself to take it out with me.

my take on it is, if everyone that cares takes just one piece of rubbish out left behind by those that don’t care :angry: the places we enjoy would hopefully stay clean or even be better than when we turned up. maybe :dry:

[drewMember]

i just had another thought as to our effect on the earth as per AB and BC, what about the likes of Japan where they took the tops off the mountains and dumped it in the sea just off shore to create a new island, they would have at a guess shifted billions of tons of dirt, that would have loaded plates etc. that were formerly not. and this would have displaced how much? sea water? :unsure:

[drewMember]

never hold in a fart, as it will seep into your spinal column and travel up into your brain. this is how crappy ideas are borne :blink: :silly: :laugh:

[drewMember]

thanks fellas. i’m still hesitant about my return of sorts.

as to your replies Hatto and Mr Blue. i understand the ice to water ratio/ displacement diff.

my point was thinking in mind that some point to the polar caps depletion and ice floating away from the polar regions as certain proof for their case that global warming is fact.

my point is that with the ice breakers going in and out has to impact on the amount of ice that floats away from the region.

as for global warming. i’m still out.

has the climate changed, in my mind yes. but global warming???

someone the other day in the states said it was quoted that they had more snow and ice and colder temps than the previous few years as a direct result of global warming?? :dry: :unsure: :S :blush:

do we need to look long and hard as to how we treat the land? Yes.

but the hardest part is getting a balance
