Terry said  " Before the Pandemic hit Chinese folks here were raiding all the stores for Australian made baby formula and sending tons of it home (to sell for a big profit) because the people in China didn't trust the sh1t made in China. It was getting so bad most stores put a limit on how much they could buy, as there wasn't enough for Aussie kids. The pr1cks were just driving their Mercedes and BMW SUV's from store to store, loading them up. Arseholes. ;D"

Just read in todays paper that a lot of the money the chinese people used to buy the baby formula was supplied by chinese drug dealers to launder money.
What next??

Why doesn't that surprise me Ken? The housing market in Melbourne went thru the roof a couple of years ago when Chinese buyers were flooding the market and paying ridiculous prices for houses, then just locking them up and leaving them empty. One theory was that the crooked Chinese CCP officials were doing it to hide bribe money paid by various infrastructure contractors for big contracts from the Communist Party (one CCP official in Beijing had his house raided this week and they found $70M USD hidden around his house) and didn't care if the houses went to ruin, the real estate was what was worth the money.

I was watching a Chinese political science professor explain that the CCP is controlled by 4 Chinese families and organised crime, and has been since Mao took over China 70 years ago. So much for "All property is owned by the community and each person contributes and receives according to their ability and needs" buncha carnts........... ;D

$70M stashed inside an empty house,wow !

Ha ha, no mate, not here in Oz, it was a Communist Party officials house in Beijing, China that was raided by the CCP police and they found $70M in his house. Needles to say, the $70M wasn't shared with the Chinese people............;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Yep, wasn't an empty house, was his home in China, somebody dobbed him in, and the CCP raised his house. They brought in 3 money counting machines which failed due to the volume of cash involved. Saw another one that had 4 tons of gold ingots in his basement, obviously communism is more about image, than substance......... ;D

Since the Chinda virus hit I've had to endure 24/7 w/ the wife at home (just kidding actually as after 36 years together we still manage to laugh every day). She's still here waiting to be called back.  But, we did managed to pay off the 2 cars and buy me a newer motorcycle , Kawasaki ZR750H , because all the BMW's we looked at were over my price range. Rode it almost every day while I work on getting some other motorcycles running (CB360, CB500, CB550, CH150 and Kawasaki H1, S2 , Suzuki GS550e) but time is not on my side. I should hire a mechanic to help out. ;-)

  fun machines. If it were me , I would do the 500 and 550 at the same time because they are basically the same and let the rest wait their turn. Unless the 500 is a 500T,with a brown seat, then I would be looking for a 450 to put the engine in.
A few Honda 500's, a few Honda 550's, a few Honda 650's, '72 cb 450, a couple 500/550/650 hybrids, and 2001 750.

We had a classic Walmart incident here in the last few days when a big mouthed blonde attempted to enter a big box hardware store without wearing a mask. When she was told her entry was conditional on mask compliance, she suddenly became a (bad) lawyer and told them that she was exercising her democratic rights and if they didn’t allow her entry she would sue them for human rights abuse, etc etc, bullsh1t bullsh1t bullsh1t.

She was so certain of her rights that she filmed everything on her smart(?) phone, which the police have now passed on to the media, so we can all see that regardless of how 99% of us are trying to do the right thing to get rid of the fcuking virus, the idiots are still out there trying to undo all the good work. She was arrested, by two cops, wearing masks. ;D

Yeah Terry, I just don't understand how some people think?? Would it be a violation of my rights if they denied me admission to Walmart because I wasn't wearing pants? ::) The last couple of times I've made beer and bean runs there was a guy at the entrance handing out face masks to anyone that wanted one.

I guess lack of real food is one contributor to the ongoing madness. Most important while inside the becoming mother.

Possible that brain and mind goes bad later on if not fed with what needed.

I'm sure that Internet platforms makes many to imbecill likes hoarders. They think and do what they believe is the accepted way to get likes. They avoid thoughts and ideas not accepted by a higher controlling junta.

Yes to all of the above. The more I think about this current situation, the more I realised that Darwin's theory of evolution is not just true, but actually happening as we speak. The brainless morons who believe the whole virus thing is all bullsh1t and won't take the appropriate precautions will get it and either die, or survive to learn the error of their ways and the gene pool will be rid of (most) morons.

I've just thought of a slogan. "Darwinism, making America smart again"........... ;D

Just got acall my new tire was mounted yesterday and once I pick it up, put it back on, I'm on the road again for short trips to the village to see the village butcher etc etc and always have to say hi to the village idiot (  I know, not politically correct right?)
It drives nice for short trips, but I have taken it on class 2? roads, driving 50-62mph , but definitely trips less than 50 miles.

But the evolution is not going our way since the idiots/maniacs are taking control more and more. It is soon forbidden to be smart and think and speak in other ways.

It will be dangerous to be smart when idiots are in charge. That's why entire well functioning empires no longer are successful or even exists when all smart people got help to disappear.  New religions today, not only the old well known.

It should be the smartest together with experienced people, all with common sense that leads all others.

Like your crocodiles, Terry. They survived during millions of years, not because of their brain capacity :D

True Per, but the reason that 20 foot long Saltwater Crocodiles (not those woosey alligators) survived is because they were thick skinned and had no predators. When I was up in the Northern Territory on Exercise "Kangaroo '95" with 2500 US Marines there were lots of cool T shirts to buy with the Motif, "Northern Territory, no sharks to fear, because the Croc's ate them all".

And yep, stupid is what stupid does. I could never understand why "Captains of industry" who are paid zillions of dollars want to take public office for far less money, and have every utterance subject to intense scrutiny? I've decided that it's an ego thing, for years their parents/staff/friends/followers have been telling them how wonderful they are, and they want the world to benefit from their brilliance, not for a moment grasping the concept that everyone else thinks they're actually dead#$%*s. Oh well, like Covid-19, eventually Darwinism will catch up with them............ ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

 We have a points race this weekend. We didn't race last year due to seemingly unrepairable cylinder heads now many of the races are cancelled anyway. Locally we had the highest number of new infections ever last week at 25 in this county. The one race we went to was ruined when we realized the transmission is broken and I'm in no hurry to repair it.  We parked way up on the hill as far from the finish line as possible and kept our distance from friends.

My Z1 parts were Fedexed from Florida last week and took 6 days to arrive at my front door, while I’m still waiting for parts that I ordered 2 months ago? I left negative feedback for a seller in Germany yesterday, they immediately sent me a message saying that due to Covid-19 they couldn’t ship to Australia. I replied that if that was true why hadn’t they told me that when I paid for the part 2 fcuking months ago???

Personally I think some folks are using the pandemic as an excuse for their incompetence.....

Certainly true,not a very good lie that they hide behind.I was told by a few places of business that their Rest Room was closed because of the Pandemic.. There are plenty of places of business,to-go restaurants included that have Rest Rooms Open.The ones that have them closed,it seems to me(imo)that they're too lazy to clean them for their customers.

I bought a complete used Morini clutch from Frankfurt on 23 June 2020, and it was delivered to Warragul on 21 July 2020.
