To be fair rabbitstew, from what you've said elsewhere on the forum it sounds like you're the only one who does any housework at your place, so it's hardly surprising that you feel that way.

Mods, assuming you have control over users' avatars, you know what to do

Do you often have musicians asking you why you aren't a musician yet? In all seriousness, I'm happy for parents that are happy to be parents. For the other parents, well you made your bed etc. It's certainly no one else's choice whether I have children or not though, and I'm quite willing to remind the ones who forget that fact.

All the fuel would be at the bottom of the tank still due to the G force (the same thing that makes it possible to ride on a vertical wall in the first place). True but would there be enough G force as soon as he gets onto the wall? I think guy just wanted an excuse to build another bike í ½í±í ¼í¿» Yes, because during the transitional period as he's 'climbing' onto the wall, the bike wouldn't be leant as far over. If the bike was leant that far over (i.e. getting towards horizontal) and he wasn't generating enough g force to keep the fuel at the bottom of the tank, he also wouldn't be generating enough g force to stay on the wall.

Welcome along. I can't really comment on the height thing as I'm only a diminutive 5'8". Regarding the coupe / roadster question, coupes are always better, regardless of car model. Sure, some people like roadsters, but they're wrong The ride on a standard car I'd describe as 'sporty but reasonable', and I agree with mattross about the price question. Good luck with the search!

Okay, overcrowding then. My points are still valid.

It's not about space, it's about resources. For example, deforestation doesn't occur so people can live there. And I certainly don't choose to live in a crowded area - it's where I can make money, same as most other people that live in or around London. I'd imagine there's space for far more than 10x the current population, but that's not the point. The problem is that it is not allocated correctly at the moment, that is not overpopulation that is purely a planning issue of the human race. Famines are never an issue of lack of food, they are political failures. Famine is caused by political issues, war, poverty and poor infrastructure - none of these are overpopulation issues. There are also plenty of famous philosophers of the past that said we cannot sustain population growth due to food production capability, unfortunately they could only make that assumption based on the facts put in front of them - you can only make so much bread with my horse driven grain mill - basically as population grows, technology and capability does also which deals with it. Population numbers also show it growing slower than it was in the 50s/60s/70s etc. So, should 'population' be an excuse for no children, other than a tongue in cheek sarcastic comment on here, it isn't. Anyway, bottom line on kids - if you want them go for it, if you don't, don't - it really is just that isn't it. Firstly, I'm not trying to tell people not to have kids because the world is overpopulated. My post was in response to: and I think we're pretty far from that I agree that people should have kids if they want, and for the right reasons. Fearing that the human race will die out is not a 'right reason'. Regarding overpopulation, yes I also agree that the technology exists to support a far larger population, but is that really the right thing to do? What would life be like with 10x the number of humans on the planet as now? Should we continue reproducing until everyone is living in the same conditions as those in central London? Maybe we can go further? And regarding war, poverty and poor infrastructure, these are issues created by humans - they're not issues that are inflicted upon humans. It's a different world that you're talking about where large populations can exist in perfect harmony with each other. I guess your opinion of 'overpopulated' is different to mine, and if you think it's acceptable to breed until natural (non-'humanised') land is non-existant and people are literally stacked upon one another, fair enough. I personally feel that we've reached a level that is around, if not over, optimum. In short, I'm not telling people not to have kids - that's not my right. I was responding to the argument regarding survival of the human race. I simply feel that there are too many humans in the world as it is, and I don't think the fact that we could potentially support more through technological developments is a valid argument for doing it.

It's not about space, it's about resources. For example, deforestation doesn't occur so people can live there. And I certainly don't choose to live in a crowded area - it's where I can make money, same as most other people that live in or around London. I'd imagine there's space for far more than 10x the current population, but that's not the point.

As it is though, the world is grossly overpopulated, so no need to worry about that

Looks tidy, and nice selection of mods How did you find the Quaife diff out of interest?

Brave man, posting that in here with all the proud parents looking on

Okay, now you're talking - kids providing some tangible benefit makes the idea of having them seem a bit more sensible Controversial! Besides, I'm far more concerned by stupid people having kids than ugly ones.

Well try it and prove yourself right mate, in fact I will buy you your first pack of nappies Wow, that's generous. I don't think he can possibly come up with an excuse for avoiding parenthood now

I believe the tradition is to mount the wheels on the car, but I could be mistaken

Well you wouldn't know what it's like to be a moth to a flame until you've tried it He's right though - those feelings are programmed into you by evolution to make you want to protect your offspring.

Congrats - seriously awesome motor

Although I'm not religious at all, I think it has its uses, and they're not all negative. I think you contradicted yourself a bit Dan, because as I'm sure you're aware, a lot of people aren't just more comfortable being told what to do and think, they pretty much need it. Let's not forget also that faith does give a lot of people a sense of hope and purpose in life, and helps them through tough times. TT, I'm not sure how serious you were, but I think that's a stretch to imagine all religion being banned.

My god that Radical looks fun and sounds AMAZING! I highly recommend getting the volume right up for that lap at the end Thanks for posting.

Sounds like a perfect trackday toy

Welcome to the forum regarding the K1, I understand that it's seriously loud rather than 'loud enough'... Just something to bear in mind.

I'm not particularly pro kids (or relationships for that matter). IMO, if you have them, make sure you have them for the right reason - that you want to love and care for a life that you've brought into the world. For sure, 'everyone else is having them' is a terrible reason.

Yeah, for me the extra 70 quid or so for the Hosetechniks was nothing considering the potential outcome of a failed line.
