Best thing I have ever bought. Bought 2 folding Zuma elec bikes. 250w brushless, 36v. I am 88 kilos and mine pulls me along at 25klm and also pulls well up hills (I do pedal sometimes) Mine is less battery (black one) My wife is 46 kg (Chinese) so she leaves me for dead. Have to get a carrier made up for rear o...

I have just noticed that the most people ever on the forum at one time happened today at a few minutes past 7pm. Was that set up or did it just happen and we missed it? 49 members is great - and over 180 guests. That must be because it is such a great forum. Well done members and Cindy. Pity we missed it. That wo...

Farmers are used to fixing things with bits of wire or junk, and this bloke is no exception. Click here for the photo album. (Scroll down for the captions)

A drunken man walks into a biker bar, sits down at the bar and orders a drink. Looking around, he sees three men sitting at a corner table. He gets up, staggers to the table, leans over, looks the biggest, meanest, biker in the face and says: 'I went by your grandma's house today and I saw her in the hallway b...

I had a long-range fuel tank built and installed under the Sprinter. The inlet is a bit tricky and despite venting, the fuel spits out and stops the hand piece. It cost me $3 the other day to come to that conclusion. It was built and installed by Aussie By Design at Pt. Wakefield, and the problem has them p...

I'm probably getting less tolerant in my advancing years; perhaps a little too Victor Meldrewish. However I'm getting rather 'cheesed off' with the bicycle lobby groups. Here in Victoria, more and more bicycle lanes are being 'installed' on our roads. Dedicated bicycle traffic lights ar...

Sorry Gaz, ...me bad I unwittingly forgot to give a report on a device that copper1 told me about, and I did as a good GN would do, I went and got the same device as the same copper1 told me about. Some would call me a copy cat, and that would be a nice name from what other people might call me. But this is not...

We're VERY new to being Grey Nomads (3 days and counting!), have never had a motorhome before and have already had problems with the fridge! It's a 12/240v Fisher and Paykel fridge freezer living in a Mitsubishi Canter motorhome (1992) and it works VERY occasionally. The freezer works long after the...

Hi everyone, this is our first time as members but have looked at a lot of comments recently. Our concern is that we are buying another van and are trying to decide what type of fridge to install; either 3 way or compressor. It used to be that the 3 way style hated being on a site that was not level and that t...

In another topic -more profit for Woolies - some of us talked about times gone by, so I thought I'd open this. These are all things "I" remember not just heard. When our hogget chops ( lamb dear even then) where cooked in dripping or lard, Mum cooked the Sunday dinner in 100F heat and Dad made t...

Gladys failed a Health and Safety course at the Local Seniors Centre today. One of the questions was: "In the event of a fire, what steps would you take?" "F#%@ing' big ones," was apparently, not the right answer.

Was in their new Masters at the weekend, some floor staff BUT no checkout service, fully self service. Only means one thing, less jobs& more profit for share holders. PS, didn't like the shop either. Also Kmart having a big push to self checkout. JC. -- Edited by justcruisin01 on Monday 28th of Oct...

I am being swamped with emails to Introduce my self. I have or may be I have put it in the wrong place. Or have I upset someone with my first Question about the size of a car & the size of the Van it was pulling. If so let me know & I will go. Imodell

Grandfather was in the garden with his young grandson when the lad pulled a worm from the ground. "I will give you $50 if you can get that worm back in the hole" said Grandfather. The little fellow ran off inside and came back with a can of firm hold hair spray. He sprayed the worm. waited a few s...
