TBH, I'd almost trade places with you. I love smoking, but I hate how much it costs. $60 a week is a lot, when you're unemployed.:(

Roundabouts and Stop signs are for people with no common sense what so ever.

For those of us with a brain it's merely a place for us to stop and take a second to observe the idiots at play.


I purposefully take my time (Which involves waiting a second) to see who is willing to break the law and receive an ear full of my horn. It's much fun!
Around here no-one seems to know what to do at either 4 way stops or roundabouts. At 4 way stops everyone just sits there...at roundabouts they stop at every entry point.

The best junction/most confusing junction I've seen is a 4 way junction...with 3 stop signs...drivers in the 4th road have the right of way. What a shambles...the drivers who have right of way stop and the ones who should stop seem to think they have right of way. :lol:

How come Daimler keeps making them like that then?

They've had every opportunity to change it!

Americans like their trucks to have BIG sleeper cabs. That's only possible if they build the engine in front of the cab instead of under it. To service or repair the engine they can simply open the hood.

European cabover trucks have the engine under the cab. Access to engine is provided by tilting the entire cab forwards, something that isn't feasible with those huge american sleeper cabs.

Being a biker I'm all for motorcycle safety, but can someone explain why some Gold Wing riders have installed a kit that flashes the headlamp all the time when they ride? It drives me insane!

Probably because it was made with Gold Wing written on it or their mates had one...

I consider the Gold Wing to be the Caravan of Bikes. Get a car if you want radio etc etc....

It's hard to imagine the concept for the original Gold Wing was the ultimate sportsbike. I still think they are pretty cool when totally stripped down. I do have respect for the amount of miles they do also.

...because they don't have the "sound" of a real bike so they have to attract attention somehow;):lol:
