  1. Yes, sacking all the sailing staff and then bussing in agency workers to replace them! The unions have advised their members to stay on the ships until talks take place! Anyway, it's all the EU's fault!
  2. Correct. At Triumph's factory there.
  3. Yeah, "scrambler" is just a marketing thing, it's not a real serious off-roader, but it's solid enough to be able to take a bit of punishment. The MT10 has an alloy frame, amongst other things, to reduce weight. My Speed Triple had a nylon fuel tank to save weight. There's all sorts of places that weight can be saved. The twin, Euro 5 exhausts, on mine don't do much to save weight!
  4. As @Pedro says, more metal in it, bigger engine and wire wheels. But, because it carries the weight lower it doesn’t feel that heavy.
  5. The weight is important, but also how it carries the weight. My Street Scrambler weighs nearly 30kg more than the CB500X, but the Triumph carries the weight lower, so it doesn't feel as top heavy as the Honda did. This makes the low speed manoeuvring easier for me on the Triumph. To be honest, I don't think that anyone is likely to launch a bike that is significantly better than what's already out there. It'll all come down to personal preference.
  6. I know fuck all about this!
  7. Definitely looked like he'd been on the Colombian marching powder!
  8. Neville Chamberlain knew that the agreement signed by Hitler wasn't worth the paper it was written on, but Britain wasn't prepared for a war, so it was just intended to buy some time to allow Britain to build up their armaments. Apparently, Putin has surrounded himself with those loyal to his cause and has some of the most extreme security in place to protect him, so an assassination looks incredibly unlikely. Funnily, one of Putin's inner circle was spouting off on Russian state TV that the US should hand Alaska back to them and pay reparation for the 200 years it's been in American hands! Seems like they really do want a war with the west!
  9. Seems that the Russians are laying the groundwork for chemical attacks!
  10. It'll be interesting to see if they do supply any help.
  11. A Russian missile strike on a Ukrainian depot 7.5 miles from the Polish border at the weekend! Lots of NATO troops in Norway and Lithuania on "manoeuvres"! Inching closer to a full scale war!
