Windows 7 on sale tomorrow
Posted on October 21, 2009 | Filed Under News - Gossip | Comments Off
Speaking as someone who has been using the Release Candidate version of Windows 7 since February this year, I have nothing but recommendations for the newest Windows operating system. I've not had a single problem since day one and will install a 64bit version when the license on the Release Candidate runs out in April 2010.
Windows 7 is what Vista should have been.

A very sad day for Buell
Posted on October 17, 2009 | Filed Under Biker News | Comments Off
I've never actually owned a Buell, although I did come very close to buying one earlier this year. They have always seemed a bit quirky to me and quirky is something I like. Much like the closure of BSA, Norton and other bike manufacturers the news that Harley Davidson are pulling the plug on Buell production is very sad.
I wish Erik Buell the very best for the future having taken a risk pursuing his dream for over 25 years.

- Harley Davidson reports sales down 21 percent – Buell production to stop – MV Agusta for sale
Posted on October 16, 2009 | Filed Under Biker News | Comments Off
Following the announcement that worldwide retail sales of new bikes were down 21% in the third quarter of 2009, Harley Davidson are embarking on a massive restructuring programme which includes the sale of the Italian MV Agusta company and the shutdown of production of Buell motorcycles within weeks.
More than 500 jobs have already been cut from Harley's local operations, in addition to having scheduled four full shutdown weeks and two partial ones. The Buell decision will result in Harley eliminating about 80 hourly positions and about 100 other jobs, most of which is scheduled to happen by Dec. 18.

Windsor and Windsor Great Park
Posted on October 11, 2009 | Filed Under News - Gossip | Comments Off
Spent a very enjoyable few hours wandering around Windsor and the Windsor Great Park yesterday . It was awsome to see deer just wandering around and I was able to get quite close to some of them before they ran off.
Windsor Great Park is a large deer park of 5,000 acres, to the south of the town of Windsor on the border of Berkshire and Surrey in England. The park was, for many centuries, the private hunting ground of Windsor Castle and dates primarily from the mid-13th century.

Keep the motor running

Dylan Welch of the Sydney Morning Herald has written an interesting article about how Oz bikers are fighting back against Australia's Anti-Association Laws.
Dylan Welch takes an insider's look at the battle waged by bikies against a government crackdown.
Inside a small Penrith church hall a sign reads ''in case of emergency dial triple-0''. The hard men sitting nearby are unlikely to heed the message. More likely, they would be the emergency that necessitates the call.
Next to the sign, empty pizza boxes and soft drink cans are scattered across a rectangle of hastily arranged foldable desks. Blue plastic chairs creak under the weight of 38 leather and flannelette-clad men.
