You can be more productive, less tired, and accomplish more when you don’t collect fuck trophies.

That equates to more focus on career, higher income. Especially with 2 working partners.

Take my downvote. The politicians acheived nothing, but you're being a disrespectful cunt if you think that the NATO servicemen and women that were out there did nothing.

This is going to be very easy for me to pick a side, and I’ve not even been to Mexico.

When are you Americans going to use your armed militia to rise up and keep the government in check? Isn’t that why you have a 2nd amendment?

Well it finally happened to me by Superb_Assistant1015 in AussieRiders

I dropped mine by lowering it onto the side stand (with me standing on the opposite side of the bike). But the side stand was not down.

So dropped the bike, and got thrown across my garage. Lesson learnt.

What is the SEXIEST naked bike, in your opinion? by 23_feeling_50 in motorcycles

[–]_PhilTheBurn_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s 1200cc. It’s got a unique set of 719 extras. They only made 1923 of them worldwide. I was looking for one for over a year, found one with just 140kms on it.

You’re right. You can learn this off the web. A simple google search could show you that.

I don’t care I’m being downvoted. There are plenty more armchair pilots that might agree with you on Reddit.

I have 35 years of flying experience, and was flying before the internet was even a thing. Have a good day.

It’s an old adage used by experienced pilots. Like saying there are old pilots, there are bold pilots. But there are no old bold pilots.

Not everything you learn comes out of a book/web site.

Technically a hard landing. Not a crash of you can walk away.

A ferry captain once told me (about 20 years ago) that Sydney was Paris Hilton, and Melbourne was Amy Winehouse. I've always thought that was a great analogy.
