Perhaps outside the limits of load and speed rating? ;)

And note the quality seatbelts made from *chain*.

Author: atec77
Date: Jul 1, 2008 18:55

Collected 40 litres of used oil from a place that has the best chips
ever , now I know why

After processing last night I checked the batch this morning and found
a 150 mm thick layer of animal fat ( it was sorta pale yellow)across the
bottom of the 200 litre drum I use to separate things...

  Fuel efficient driving - what's the truth?         


Author: Sylvia Else
Date: Jul 1, 2008 17:13

Every now and then I come across material that suggests that the most
fuel efficient way of driving is to be gentle on the accelerator and brakes.

I've never understood how the brakes can come into it anyway.

But increasingly I wonder about gentle acceleration. It seems to me that
this just results in the engine running at a less them optimum power
setting. I prefer to put my foot down until I reach my desired speed
(OK, not desired so much as legislatively limited).

But I wonder where the truth lies on this.

Sylvia.

  OT.The Government and the Banks         


Author: RogerM

If Mr Rudd doesn't want to become known as Mr Dud (that appears to be the
way he's going), he needs to do something about the banks......NOW! The
banks are now publicly coming out saying they intend increasing their profit
margins by way of increased interest rates. This is despite the Reserve Bank
stating that there is no foreseeable increase in interest rates over the
next few months.

Now as a suggestion, why not revisit the early days of the Commonwealth Bank
and introduce a new Government funded Bank to assist with lowering these
interest rates? At the moment competition does not exist between the banks,
much like oil companies and soon it will be the Supermarkets.

If you are an investor in real estate and/or home buyer like me and are
hurting with these interest rate hikes, you will possibly agree with me. If
you are retired and living off your interest, I will wear my flamesuit, but
how about some sensible discussion on this idea?

The Aussie dream of home ownership is becoming a nightmare.

  Motorised Bicycles - Follow up         


Author: Scotty
Date: Jul 1, 2008 03:26

Just thought that Id post my findings for the motorised bicycle thread.

It seems that its deemed to be a Moped if its powered by the 48cc unit thats available. Also seems
that if its either of the two larger CC rated engines then its illegal.

I'm a little Grey on the "not being a power-assisted pedal cycle" bit and cant see where that lays
within the rules.

__________________________________________________________________________________

Taken from the ADR's:

LA - MOPED - 2 Wheels - A 2-wheeled motor vehicle, not being a power-assisted pedal cycle, with an
engine cylinder capacity not exceeding 50 ml and a 'Maximum Motor Cycle Speed' not exceeding 50
km/h; or a 2-wheeled motor vehicle with a power source other than a piston engine and a 'Maximum
Motor Cycle Speed' not exceeding 50 km/h.

(Electrical powered motors are not to exceed 200Watts, as correctly posted by someone else.)

LC - MOTOR CYCLE - A 2-wheeled motor vehicle with an engine cylinder capacity exceeding 50 ml or a
'Maximum Motor Cycle Speed' exceeding 50 km/h.
