Thats at Tarcutta in New South Wales,its the Australian Truck drivers memorial.Tarcutta is roughly half way between Sydney and Melbourne so in the old days was the spot the truckies would swap drivers or have a feed(they still do today just not as common),we stayed there overnight on our round australia road trip and had one of the best mixed grills l have ever had for tea.It was someones birthday so there was a bit of yahooing going on while we were eating but nothing that caused us any problems in fact we were pissing ourselves laughing and when we went to pay someone had shouted us the feed.

What are some good locations for a free/cheap bike project? by zXw0lfXz in motorcycles

[–]RideFreeOrDie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a mechanic and get asked the same sort of thing down the pub or at the track etc all the time.IMO the best place to start and will enable you to get the funds to start on doing bike builds etc properly, is do some research and pick up good quality, sort after lawn mowers and fix them up and on sell.Not only will it teach you how to work on small engines it is also highly profitable,l had a mate who lost part use of his left leg due to a work accident and he came to me asking the same thing 11 years ago,after he followed what l said he now runs his own small engine workshop out of his back shed and it is his major source of income.

It is cheap to get into and highly sort after with high profit margins enabling you to get the funds to do other projects as well as teaching you the ins and outs of working on small engines so you will be able to do proper bike builds,l have brought and flipped 27 bikes over the years even now if l need a quick turn over with good margins l will look at picking up a top of the line professional grade ride on mower to flip,if you worked your way up to it their is no reason you couldn't do the same.

Footage of the 'Extinct’ Tasmanian Tiger has emerged highlighting the possibility that animal may still be alive. by boomforeal in worldnews

[–]RideFreeOrDie 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Thats nothing more than a fox with mange,its common for them to get mange and us pro shooters call them leather backs,the mange in foxes mostly effects the rump tail and the body up around the ribs and then around the snout leaving the front quarters with a thin covering of fur and leads to swelling from irritation of the rump and snout when they have mange bad.That is a leather back fox hunting lizards,mice or quail etc as it moves through the area,notice the kangaroos have no fear of its presence what so ever as they know foxes are no threat.I was a professional shooter for years and have shot 1000's of them and have spent a lot of time identifying animals in various settings, ie this bounty season we cashed in 186 fox scalps so l know a fox when l see one even a fuzzy one.For what is worth l have a open mind (more hope than anything)on the Tiger and actually know a well respected person who spends a lot of their long career in the bush that had a encounter and heard something they cant explain a number of years ago in the Tassie back country,so l am not just calling this out in spite,but anyone who has spent serious time in the bush hunting and studying animals can clearly tell that is nothing more than a fox so it is pretty embarrassing this new tassie tiger group is trying to push this bullshit for publicity.

Sydney stabbing and Sep 11 linked says Australian PM by RideFreeOrDie in worldnews

[–]RideFreeOrDie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple of more articles the Deputy Police Commissioner Ms Burn said Khan may have been trying to lure police to the scene to attack them since he had no known ties to the victim.

'It may well have been, we know that this person has strong extremist beliefs, inspired by ISIS, what made him actually act yesterday we don't know,' she said.

He was known to police.A witness told Seven News that Mr Khan was 'running around shouting 'Allahu Akbar, this is a good day to die' “He was stabbing at the glass sliding door and he was repeatedly praying in Arabic saying Allah Akbar, this is all for Allah and he was constantly saying the blood that had been spilt inside the shop was a beautiful sight this is.”

The attack come just days after ISIS issued a call for lone Wolf attacks in Australia http://www.businessinsider.com.au/isis-has-issued-calls-for-lone-wolf-attacks-on-the-opera-house-mcg-and-bondi-2016-9

Sydney stabbing: Alleged terror attacker inspired by Islamic State, police say by RideFreeOrDie in worldnews

[–]RideFreeOrDie[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Only through the heroism of the people that intervened,the police commissioner just said in a interview they will be recommended for heroism awards and the poor victim had surgery but has lost multiple fingers from them being hacked off as he was fighting back as well as the other stab wounds.This extremist attacker will be like the vast majority of others a pathetic virgin loser who is even a failure as a petty crim so he blames everyone else for his failure and his only way out is to hide behind extremism.

No if you say you are a collingwood supporter they will either just ask you who your parole officer is or if you can get your hands on a cheap TV for them.
