Whacking Permalink Archive 5 April 2004 This comes from one of the great minds at aus.politics...
Yeah, since when?
Here's a comment about the murder victims in Fallujah:
Charming fellow. Here's his opinions on the USA:
Apart from the other political parties, and lack of any fourth reich, you're absolutely right on comrade! Here's another drooler, talking about Jews:
And my favourite wackjob Peter Terry has returned, giving his deep insight in USA foreign policy...
I recommend looking
up Peter Terry's other inspired posts. This is actually one of his more
intellectual efforts. Zem at Vigilant TV has some disturbing photos of our peace-loving muslim population at the recent Pro-terrorist rally in Sydney. Check out the kiddies dressed up as Palestinian militants. And this one. Here's more Islamic child-abuse. And that's not all!! Why on earth were any of these putrid degenerates allowed to enter our country? Oh, and naturally,
this
bitch was there to show her support. And the socialist
alliance was there to show there isn't a homicidal ideology they don't
like. The crazed one has gone sorta blog-like. He repeats the Greenhouse-Pentagon meme:
Some absolutely incomprehensible gibberish about Immanuel Kant:
Dick also has a brilliant answer to terrorism:
And some other ravings about American Killbots From Space. He's also still linking
to that wellspring of credibility, What
Really Happened. On the weekend I went on an overnight motorcycling trip to the Snowy Mountains. Sunday was pretty much riding thru freezing fog for hours on end. Great ride though. Is there any road on earth that offers as much motorcycling magic as the Cooma-Khancoban-Cabramurra-Adaminably-Cooma loop? During the trip, I had a 20-minute ride on a brand new Triumph Tiger.
It handles brilliantly thanks to the high, wide handlebars, though it is top-heavy at lower speed. It doesn't seem to get rattled by bumps, the seat is extremely comfy, the engine smooth and powerful enough for any desired usage, it has phenomenal fuel range and carries loads of luggage. Downsides? Wind buffeting to your head is quite bad and would be a big annoyance on long road rides (though it's nowhere near as bad is the atrocious Aprilia Pegaso). You'd need Triumph's accessory high screen, or the lower-cut sports screen. The weight and road-based tyres limit its offroad capability. The bike sounds awful too: a terrible, wheezy, clattering sound - like an old washing machine. A Triumph race muffler would be an essential accessory for me. The non-adjustable clutch lever has far too large a span which makes gearchanges awkward. But really, these are all niggles. Overall, the Tiger is a remarkable 'all-worlds' motorcycle, something you can tour around Australia on, while having the ability to go off the beaten track. It has enough power for high-speed cruising and is comfortable enough that you won't be visiting the chiropractor at the end of a long ride. If you're in the market for a do-everything bike, the Tiger is hard to beat. The Tiger wasn't the only new toy I tried out on the weekend. My z1000 had just been fitted with a new set of LeoVince alloy performance exhausts. Aside from looking great, these things are loud. My Zx-9 had a Vince can on it too, but it wasn't as loud as this pair of suckers. The deep howl they create at high revs sends shivers up your spine, and the popping n' crackling when you close the throttle is a hard-on for revheads. Oh yeah, other than looking/sounding the biz, they boost the bike's midrange and top-end power, while increasing fuel economy. A socially irresponsible, and utterly wonderful purchase. Finally, I also tried
out a pair of Sheep
Hollow sheepskin seat pads. These are "universal" throw-on
seat pads for any motorbike - a larger one for the rider's seat, and a
smaller version for the passenger. The seats on the z1000 aren't too good
for longer trips, so the sheepskin results in a lower degree of arse-trauma
for all concerned. They're just as comfy as the much more expensive custom-fitted
seat covers, and are quick n' easy to fit, adjust and remove. I recommend
them without reservation. I've written a piece
on pizza
and capitalism over at the ALS site. |
