General Discussion / Re: revisiting old topics on the forum when its quiet

In amongst the drivel (probably from me and no one else) there are many pearls of wisdom. In the "I want it now" world we live in now, it is always doing a "Search" to see if ones question has already been answered. Forums are gold for correct answers.

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..

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

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.
