Gday. I know there are a few people on here who ride Ducati's. I have just found out that Ramon is closing Motomagnet. Is there anyone who you guys can recommend as an alternative ?

I have a samsung tablet. I would love it if it wasn't for the warning that comes up when it see's moisture in the usb port. Dumbest thing ever. You can't bypass it and it won't charge until it THINKS it is dry. Mine has been in the hot water cupboard for a week and it still thinks it's wet.

I had an incident a few weeks ago where a large red launch (called Red Express) would have run me down if I hadn't taken evasive action. I contacted the harbourmaster with the name of the boat, time of day and location. I got a notification it was received. Nothing since. Nobody was hurt: not interested.

30 years ago I remember sailing on Eric Wings Marimba 2. He had two 9kg gas bottles inside the boat beside the stove. He had a hose connected to the blow off valves of both bottles venting over the side. His view was, Do the cooking, turn off the bottle. The only potential danger was the bottle overheating or being overfilled and the blow off valve letting go. Hence the hose on the valve. I can't see a flaw in his logic. I doubt it would come anywhere near passing gas regs. I am horrified listening to everyone saying that electric is the way to go now. It's getting harder and harder

I"ve been using it for a few years. I think it works well, especially at the price.

Sold sorry

Hi I have just replaced my oven. I have an MSF 4 burner stove for sale. It goes. However it is fairly old and only has a thermocouple on the oven. I also have a 4 burner Mariner princess which has thermocouples but is really only suitable for parts. Call me on 021950766 and make me an offer for them. They will be in a skip in a couple of weeks if nobody is interested.

The one in the back is a pensioner

I find F1 way too boring to watch. Being of Dutch heritage I would prefer Verstappen to win. Be interesting to see if Hamilton would still win in something other than the fastest car.

I agree about Stoney. Fantastic rider but hard to like. This is what I want ! https://www.rideapart.com/news/553526/2022-ducati-desertx-adv-launch/

Aren't you one of he moderators ?

It's not nice to discuss an old girls weight !

pfffft !

Far out ! He's steering it into the next corner as he goes . Not bad !!

Hi David. Can you give me a call please 021950766

I'm planning on getting a V4S multi in a couple of years. Was talking to the mechanics on friday (Ramon). He was saying with the new frames on the pani's etc valve timing is now an engine out job. I suspect that's the main reason the multi went to valve springs

Nice ! I was always a fan of Troy Bayliss. Saw him racing at Monza years ago. It was really cool watching him at the press briefing. He did the obligatory English talk, and then jumped into fluent Italian. This was the weekend he finished 2nd in the first race and fell off in the second. He fell off reasonably early in the race. Most of the (Italian) crowd got up and left. Biaggi won, nobody seemed to care. On a side note, is that heated grips on your bike ? You can't really call that a touring bike !! Mine's out of action for a few days.

Luca Morini, now in motogp is Rossi's half brother. I don't think there is any other rellie's

We will not cease is a remarkable book of a remarkable man. It was turned into a TV drama. It was also serialised on Nat Radio. I believe, and so did most of the soldiers he was sent with, that he was the bravest one there. The soldiers loved him but the brass hated him because of the respect he had. I was a good friend of Con Thode back in the day. His war stories were great to listen to after a few rums on the boat. As he got older he became a lot more emotional about the things they did (he was NZ's only submarine commander in the war) I used to go to ANZAC days with him back the

Looking forward to it. They say there is no greater pacifist than a returned soldier.

I'm sure few of you have heard of this guy. Not condoning his actions but he was certainly at the forefront of the anti state movement back in the day. Apparently there is a documentary being made about him. http://ahnz.anarkiwi.co.nz/1982-neil-roberts-day/

I suspect that this is more aimed at Rivieras and fizzies than yachts that are in most cases slower than any dolphin or orca.

Probably mods. Couldn't keep up with the rockers

Ah Royal Enfield, bless em. Only motorcycle company I know that can drag 47 bhp kicking and screaming from a 650cc engine.
