I think we all need a Good Kick Up the Backside. Our vote should count, not having preferences going to otuer parties etc. Election promises should mean if not kept they should be kicked out of Parliment.

As voters we should think csrefully how we vote and how it will effect everyones future. Too many dunm asses out there.

What hapoens if we all gave government jobs! We'll be broke like Greece etc..

I assume it is a Femsa flywheel. You will need a flywheel holder too stop flywheel rotating, undo nut, remove washers andbthen use cirtect flywheel puller

Perhaps we should discuss a "whip around" to pay the hosting fee? Could be a tax deduction for someone? Perhaps my ramblings.

[size=12pt][/size]That is an impressive collection Wasp. I don't think I would have enough coin to nakeva bid, unless I win Tattslotto. it would be a shame to see the collevtion broken up.

Should the rabbit hole of cylinder head "Squish" be investigated. I was under the impression all Air Hammers neede work on the head to stop pinging/rattling and jetting issues?

Pokey is on the money. The different systems and manufacturers of aftremarket ignitions have different advance and retard values. Some have user programmable advanve/ retard curves. I suggest a softly/softly approach with the testing.

One would hope that those in positions of power, would be astute enough to make decisions in the best interests of all current and future motorcyclist and not in their own self interest.

But time will tell.

Dear Wasp and everyone,

I did a search (I am not a member of MA) but being a "Not for Profit" Organisation, financials and board minutes etc should be freely available to everyone. Please see attached link to the MA AGM reports -23 year is the latest.


https://www.ma.org.au/about-ma-2/operational-structure/ma-minutes-reports/

I have briefly read the AGM report and I think there is some issues with the Public risk cover ( I do note one board member has experience in this area).

Cannot attach the minutes as a PDF.

Hope this is of some help!

Peter
