No foolin' -- I have tried to open a bank account for a UK subsidiary of a US company -- the last straw was the demand by the bank for officially certified (means certified by a government agency, not by our UK law firm) copies of birth certificates of myself and my wife. On the other hand you can PayPal a guy in the UK in seconds.

Almost, hey. The owner of Harrods spoke the exact same words, i believe.

Next time i'm in South Africa i'll bunker enough bourbon to talk funny and try that approach. Maybe they'll make me a Pretorian.
In excavating soil 100 metres deep, Russian scientists found the remains of copper wire with an estimated age of 1000 years. They have concluded that their ancestors had a copper wire network 1000 years ago.
American scientists went digging and found glass fibre remains at a depth of around 200m and determined them to be about 2000 years old. Their obvious conclusion was that their ancestors had used advanced fibre networks 1000 years before the Russian had copper wire networks.
One week later, Belgian scientists published the following report:
Excavation of the soil to more than 5000m deep didn’t reveal any trace of wires. We conclude that we were already communicating with wireless networks more than 5000 years ago.

5,000 years ago my relatives of Schaldean (that's Belgian) and Rhenish (that's Shakespeare 🙂 ) ancestry were worshipping tree-trunks and communicating via ESP as they hadn't yet learned to communicate verbally.

Doesn't look like it. Would also be a little more difficult to make, considering that the front wheel has to turn side-side.
Although I have very little clue (or none at all) about bikes, I would expect the tacho-output near the gearbox output shaft.
(pure guessing, though).
Driving this way on a public road, he must have a 1-digit IQ.
Even if a crash would (probably) be worse for his health than for the bus or camper, it's a scene I would rather not be part of, regardless which vehicle I would be in.
He deserves to meet an oil slick in the curtesey lane, while nobody is near. What an idiot.
Hi Jennice,

the rider is enjoying albiet at others' cost.
but he is a fool,the net balance of damage would have tilted towards him had anything gone wrong.
It is fun to do good biking,where u r safe and so are others.
Life is not cheap,u get to live only once.
