Good thing about the Bike is that it fits in the Boot (if you can call it that) of a Range Rover, (Hint Hint ) + 150+ mpg where as Big Blue gets about **** MPG but that's 6 wheel drive so if you need a tow there's not much it won't shift ( ex Tank recovery )

My only real interest in aircraft is when I'm sitting on one, bound for some hot and exotic destination! That said, I'd love to own a Stuka! Edited by adamanteus |

I`ve enjoyed reading through this lot, interesting to see how many of us have "conflicting" interests.
Music wise, I like something of everything as long as it isn`t meatloaf. Listening to that would be like torture to me. Did I see a Gram Parsons fan somewhere in the backlog or is that just my imagination? Gemma, I saw the Mission a few times long ago also.
I`m also into bikes but prefer your more classic style cruisers, not the fast bikes with fairings (spelt wrong no doubt) so a bit of a poser really I suppose! I also have had a life long interest in as well as a 7 year stab at self sufficiency and survival bushcraft type stuff, but my most passionate interest is the natural world. I have a few "unusual" animals such as my colony of Egyptian Fruit bats. I`ve also bred a few species of dart frogs in the past. The fruit bats bred four young this year. Here`s a few pics of some of the group;
...and one of the babies from last year, the photo was quickly snapped whilst it`s mother was feeding and left the youngster at the roost. I passed my fingers gently across it`s toes and it took hold;

Glad you like the bats Tim. They are fascinating to watch. As a group the social interaction is totally absorbing. As the group has grown in size, so the behaviour observations have increased. They seem to have relaxed and behave in what I percieve to be a more natural manner than when the group was smaller. Apparently this species roosts in groups of a minimum of 50 animals up to 1000 or more individuals, so it would definately seem to be a case of the more the merrier as far as they are concerned.
Gram Parsons is played regularly in this house. His appearance on the Byrds album "Sweet Heart of the Rodeo" made it their best album by a mile in my opinion. Edited by Peter |
