This one was a challenge . A hundred hand cut paper shapes Bluetacked on and then misted with a rattle can . More imagination than accuracy but the Germans were making up colour schemes as they went along when the paint started to run out . He 177 , nickname : The Flaming Coffin .

I ordered a canopy masking kit for my model aeroplanes from a Polish seller on eBay . This is the order confirmation I received and it wasn't quite what I was expecting .

What we need is a strong man to emerge as Britain's leader . Someone with a military intelligence background and a love of the outdoors . Somebody who is prepared to ruthlessly crush all wishy washy liberal opposition and who is backed by true patriots . Somebody who has a vision to make Britain great again even if dissenters have to be rounded up into internment camps for reeducation . Is this starting to sound familiar ? Be careful what you wish for .

This is rather depressing . https://amp.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/jun/15/night-wolves-biker-gang-a-key-element-in-vladimir-/

After five years , on the stroke of midnight ....

The detail and precision on these modern kits is a joy to work with .

Rear brake use depends on the Harley . Mine has twin front discs so in 16,000 miles I don't think I've used the rear brake more than a handful of times . I ride it in the same way that I ride any other bike .

25 % of our gas comes into Milford Haven in liquid form from Qatar .

I thought they were joking about the giant badge .

I agree . While you were writing this I was coming up with a useful suggestion that I often use myself and that is to have a good look at the Parts Catalog rather than the manual . It's helpful to have a general idea what things are called and where they are on the bike .

I recommend that you take the time to thoroughly familiarise yourself with your motorcycle . If you can't tell whether the radiator has been removed from the rear of the bike I dread to think what your understanding of the braking system must be like .

A shame really because disappearing into the distance is the ultimate accolade to your building skills .

I sold my GSXR 1100 at 43,000 miles with as much meat on the rear pads as the day it left the factory .

And another .

It's a good job it's not retrospective although I expect that's on the cards in the next few decades . Having ridden near the back of a convoy of 30+ Harleys on a summer evening I can report that the fumes made me nauseous and caused my eyes to sting . Still a good laugh though .

There are four of them in the UK at present . F**k knows what ordinance they have on board but they're ready for when the Ukraine kicks off .

Pardon my ignorance but why does it matter ?

Crikey ! I suggest that everyone check theirs immediately , you could definitely be on to something here .

Some empty lay-bys are more empty than others . This one hasn't got a bin , a porn cache or even a bottle of fermented Polish piss .

Much as I enjoy science fiction and stargazing , I honestly believe that this is nothing more than a collosal vanity project , just as the Apollo Program was a vanity project in a nationalistic arena . There is no way that humanity is ever going to migrate to " Another Earth " because the distances and the radiation make it impossible to survive the journey .

So I have to give up my petrol powered bike and buy an electric vehicle that uses a battery made in a factory owned by this c**t who thinks it's ok to burn thousands of gallons of toxic chemicals just for his own amusement and profit ? He can stick his rockets and his little satellites up his arse .

Sports Direct has Karrimor waterproof tops that make excellent motorcycle over jackets . I always take mine with me on touring holidays . They are also very effective at reducing wind chill when the temperature drops at night . https://www.sportsdirect.com/karrimor-sierra-weathertite-jacket-mens-442022?cq_src=google_ads&cq_cmp=10653972640&cq_term=&cq_plac=&cq_net=g&cq_plt=gp&gclid=CjwKCAiA6Y2QBhAtEiwAGHybPWEmI68MvBTFsId7Nd8Vjw_H5qG9tCEnT1y4SXxZz8NMvS3ysIr_MhoC0xEQAvD_BwE#colcode=44202203

Meanwhile at Castle Donington another one is almost finished and ready to meet the godless hoards who would make slaves of us all .

Can anyone date this frame?
