Having got problems looking at threads due to 0.135 meg band width i am lost with some comments/ links. ' BMW not motorcycles and Rennmax. Er Rennsport was a BMW and a motorcycle engine, infact the most successful sidecar engine ever used. So, confussed or just very tired from stupid working hours/ lack of sleep and vino. Me thinks the vino is to blame.
Kevin,
I was thinking of BMW's top seller over here
which seems to be the winner in the 'who can build the ugliest device' competition
My experience with BMWs reflects the rides on a R75/5 now and then, I recall a poor front brake, inert engine, clonking gearbox, wobbly roadholding caused by the extreme suspension travel and heavy torque reaction.
The Rennsport engine was developed nearly 60 years ago, they didn't make much after that for racing than to sell parts (in fact you had to give old ones back) to the chosen few.
The factory rested on their laurels while the sidecar drivers and tuners like Busch developed the engines as much as possible, the chassis constructions were a pure private venture as well, so how much contributed BMW after all

I see what you mean, Renn. That is an ugly thing with a large beak on it.

This one is popular over here as typical British, though in the UK it's hardly known I guess
http://www.youtube.c...feature=related
You're right Renn, he's long gone and only old geezers like myself remember him. Freddie though was a top performer in his day. I was in Berlin over a new period and it was explained to me that its now traditional to show the sketch at that time on the telly. I think too that I once saw it on an Air Berlin flight. I wonder why he's so popular over there, and why at New Year?

Yep, it's on the telly on New Year's Eve since '72, there are stations which repeat it again and again that day. The phrase ' same procedure as every year' puts here a smile on many faces. I assume it reflects our stereotype of British society (eccentricity, keeping a stiff upper lip, pragmatism and all that stuff), it's as bizarre as the perception that Germans wear leather trousers and drink beer out of 1 litre mugs all the time.
Why on New Year? No idea...

No need to buy any presents either Ian.
spot on, there is a guy comes into our work and him and mates have been prepairing themselves for some time for this.
no word of a lie they have dug a hole underground in some woods and every so often they put supplies in like dried food and bottled water etc.
i keep reminding them of the millennium bug rubbish that was overfed to us, planes were gonna drop from the skies and nuclear warheads would be automatically sent....

Am I alone in being disturbed by the hostility shown towards Julian Assange, particularly it seems in Britain. What's driving this I wonder?
USA administrations (CIA & Millitary) in the land of the free & freedom of speech, are not to happy when they are discovered having been a "little" dishonest in their dealings with the rest of the World re Iraq, Libya & Iran who just so happen to have the biggest oil reserves, funny how these "charges" against Assange appeared so quickly after the Wikileaks were published.
So the dog (USA) barks & the tail (UK) does what it is told.
