Italian WWll aircraft engines were works of art compared to those from the rest of the world.

The Italians early on, were experimenting with some interesting ideas, ahead of others.  Where the war accelerated aircraft development for some countries, the opposite happened in Italy.  Really too bad.

Ride knowing a motorcycle always loses to a automobile.

Ride like you are invisible both visually and audibly to other people.

Exactly. 

For 25 plus years I rode in NYC traffic so I've assumed the worse and it made me a better rider. Now that I don't live there the little city that I live in has some bad drivers so I mostly ride in the country, but that isn't free of idiots either. There are just less of them.

Move to the country. I refuse to ride in a city, I'll take the Jeep. I do ride in country towns, like where I live.

This!

Come to Lincolnshire lazlokovacs.

I dread the times I need to go to London - and that's in the Octavia

They're all nutters south of Watford Gap Services 

PS Watford Gap Services is nowhere near Watford - it's just named that to keep people on their toes

We all know the risk that comes along with our passion for riding these death traps.
Therefore, abide by the basic rules of riding.
- Obey the traffic laws
- wear protective gear
- look and plan ahead
- include the road, traffic conditions and weather in your riding behavior.
- keep your cool and exercise patience with other motorists stupidity.
- and probably most importantly, ride as if there are drivers out there that’s planning to kill you every time you ride.

After following all the rules there are some happenings that just falls in the category of “stuff happens”🤔
Be safe out there my fellow members.

Riding a motorcycle allow the rider to look into adjacent cars fairly easily. It is amazing to see the number of driver who are using their phones while driving.

Hi Dan
I have only just seen this topic but I think I am the person who you were originally talking to about the indicator stalks. I was happy to send some but being in Australia this would be an expensive operation because I was using the original metal hooks cut out of the failed parts.
As well as potting the hooks in with epoxy I also used 2 M4 x 8 button head screws to run through the ears on the hook, mainly because I printed the parts in Carbon Fibre loaded Nylon and I wasn't confident on how well the epoxy would bond to the plastic.



I have no idea how well they worked on the bike as I made them for my brother and I think he sold the bike soon afterwards.



If anyone is interested I can try and dig up the files, the only thing to note is that they are optimised for a Markforged printer and would probably need some fettling to achieve a snug fit into the indicator housing
Cheers
Steve

Thanks Steve and congratulations on a great job!
I’m sending you a Pm shortly.
