Re: boat insurance

[quote="blacklab99"]Here's my way of thinking on this subject. Credit to you for asking the question, I think the advice given to you, suggests you get insurance. Would you drive a car on the road with out it ? would be absolutely foolish to do so. SO, its the same for you boat, if not, let me know ...

Re: No more 2 strokes (nearly)

That's what I'm trying to say. Having that many 2 strokes in the country basically decimated it. I certainly agree about the population perspective. Not comparing. Just stating a fact I personally witnessed for 19 years. If they banned 2 strokes there it wouldn't be this bad as it is now. We don’t ...

Re: No more 2 strokes (nearly)

Man I grew up in India where 2 strokes rule. I'll dare you right now to live there for a year and see how your fare health wise. Melbourne is the equivalent of the Amazon rainforest when compared to where I used to live. 2 stroke motorcycles, rickshaws and outboards as far as the eye can see. Not t...

Re: Making a rod-tube for long-distance / overseas travel?

For 3 rods 100mm pipe is a bit of overkill just use 90mm. Doesn’t sound like a lot of difference but 100mm is a fair bit thicker and heavier then 90mm. There is no way the baggage handlers will bend roughly 1.5m-2m of 90mm pipe unless the jamb it between two steel posts and physically bend it aroun...
