The KLRs are heavy though and not many people could ride them like you see in the advertising or biker mags. They are cheap, sip the fuel, repairable and can carry a lot of gear which is really appealing. They are set up for long distance touring from the shop so you don’t need to spend too much to get them to be pretty awesome bov’s.
The KTMs, BMWs and honda v twins are all too pricey. They go well but unless you wanna ride them a lot probably not worth the investment.
On the light side a DR200 is a great option. Can be loaded up a bit and apparently you get 40km per litre. they are light, low powered and also low tech. I rebuilt one years ago and it was a surprisingly good bike.

Biden is already setting the response by saying it is unlikely to be russian missiles. So whos were they? Ukrainian? Hen what?

Just heard that apparently several russian missiles hit polish territory and killed some civilians. This is either the end of the war or an escalation. NATO must act or have egg smeared on their faces. I’d say they might consider sending in holding forces and the the Ukranians keep up the assault without having to worry about holding turf.

I use sea to summit gaiters when in sketchy bush areas. they go to just below the knee and are fairly rugged. They would be just about snake proof as they are made of thick material. some are made from canvas. They are simple enough to put on.

Someone on this forum bought a KTM 390 adventure bike. I reckon that would be pretty good. For me my YZ250 2T gets me going where i need. It is thirsty though.
I am partial to a DR650. good off road, ok on road and can haul gear. They were cheap but stopped making them last year.

There is no benefit. It won’t stop dodgy companies or dodgy operation of a company. I’d like to see the legislation that allows this type of request and when this specific set of clauses or Act was introduced. My guess is somewhere between March 2020 and now. i suspect this type of crap is the long arm of the covid outbreak. We already have the internment camp so why not voice recognition and such?

The Director authentication process has gone Orwellian. Voice recognition activation and a butt probe just to make sure.

Extremist doesn’t rate anymore. If it did we would not be bringing back all those IS scrags and their little beheading offspring.

My end of 2022 is lining up to be a cracker. I am now on a suppliers list to provide services to the principle that most people would pay to do. My small business is up and running! All done in 4 weeks. I neglected the garden and turned that time into putting in a tender and starting a business. I’m not sure of potential earnings as i’m the new dude on the block but it's a foot in the door and will lead to bigger and better contracts. Hell yeah!
The labour shortage up here is getting full on. An everyday joe cleaner can expect $70 an hour. Yep $70 an hour. That’s just shy of $150k per year doing a normal working week.
Don’t hole up, break out! it’s here for the taking.

Check this out. Henry lever riflesI like the tube mag set up and then being able to top off with a side gate. I reckon tube mags are safer to unload. |

Nice compact, practical little piece this one! Would be good with a Red Dot as well, why not sight in both options given the .357 calibre.  I’m waiting for the side gate henrys to come out over here. Still unsure on 357 or 44. Ah the choices! |

I’m super keen to hear how it goes stealth. I can’t justify the expense but maybe oneday and if i hear enough good feedback i might entertain the idea.

From what i’m seeing they are recovering after the UK reversed their unpopular tax cuts. Expect the same to happen here.
I just got a payrise which is effectively a pay cut, something like 2 and a bit percent rise, lol, the carnts. I’m hoping the paperwork for my new business is finalised soon. Who would have thought an ABN and a business name could take so friggen long to approve…..into the 4th week now.

It’s logical though isn’t it? Pootin has made threats to use nukes as well as mucked around with several nuclear power plants and apparently let many of his own troops near kill them selves digging in near pripyat. Nothing we don’t already know. But that canadian guy is just blatantly cashing in. He is chicken little and mostly full-o-shite.

I'd love to see these predictions recorded, then reviewed and re-published at the time their claimed event was supposed to happen. Ausprep members should start their own prediction channel or whatever. Go back and read Spatials thread on the beginning of the russian war on Ukraine. Some pretty good predictions and/or observations were made in the first few pages. |
