Fellow enthusiasts!
Some Serious & Sincere Worrying Issues:
Well, since my last post I have pondered on why & how a mates, mate's Norton International Is worth more money than a rural/cottage-house my parents bought in 1976 that was semi-detached and had over three-quarters of an acre of land with it, in Central Lancashire & would I be wise to speculate in the future on such a purchase, given that the transport policies in this Great Nation of ours seem to be getting more & more anti-vehicle every day/week/year & have come to the conclusion that there are only 5 good reasons to do such a thing:
1) Bloody mindedness; A Kyoto rebel, (read on);
2) As an impartial speculator for cash, having no love in this scenario for great engineering feats of the 20th century, (not true in my case), bit like buying a painting as an investment & having no love of Art;
3) To continue in a self-indulgent way my interests in motorcycles, in a Club or posse of like-minded individuals;
4) To support Home industries & "Ride the Flag", so to speak;
5) Fun!
And against 5 bad ones:
6) Transport policy of our Nation State; Speed Cameras
Fines, Points on Licence, Traffic Infringements, incidentally Christmas shopping in Chatham & losing my bearings I turned into where the Traffic use to go & ended up in a Bus Lane only route, unable to escape without going down the one-way trap, I was captured on camera and awarded in the spirit of Christmas peace & harmony a £60 fine, reduced to £30 if I coughed up within a 14 day period, Merry F****** Christmas to one & all I say, the issued ticket/form left no grounds whatsoever to appeal & I haven't yet found a way to post some scathing comment on their Medway Council website!
7) Fuel costs e.t.c;
Theft of said investment, "precious" motorcycle; Gollumesque behaviour may be experienced on occasion!
9) Chance of the Grim Reaper calling in my departure card on route to having some fun, is it allowed in the UK these days?
10) Through some or all of the above, I end up with negative equity on said purchase as happened to the E-Type Jaguar as an investment some years ago, to many Classic car punters!
Being a man, means the end decision will not be a rational one!
Seeing that I have tried to support Britain & my trusty K-engined Rover 400, blew it cylinder head gasket on Monday & as from Friday I will be £600 worse off, (Happy New Year to you all by the way), my Norton-Imp project & workshop roof re-fabrication is now put further back into the annals of time, with regards to objective successes in 2013, good old Rover, this is the second time its gone bang, but the garage that did it the last time didn't fit the MLS gasket & another member of my family paid the £800 bill, so hey Ho, bang again, bang on!
However, contained within this tale of misery, I could have found salvation as I was trying to get my head round the price of stuff, the Financial crash & what's going on in this Nation State of ours that doesn't make sense & that's making me unhappy, as a "
Subject". Yes, you read it right the first time, I rediscovered "
You Tube" it was love all over again, because I stumbled back onto something I had forgotten & something Americans are re-discovering too, the
UN's AGENDA 21. A Global Solution to controlling mankind at every level to reduce Greenhouse gases & by meeting targets of reducing carbon emissions to pre-1992 levels by say 2050 or even 20% below where we were then in 1992, remember Kyoto, to
SAVE the WORLD, everything crazy that's going on starts to make sense!
CO2 is now classified as a pollutant, so is CH4, to the uninitiated that's the same gas that comes out of your arse in you & me when, like cows we fart! At the moment World governments haven't found a way of taxing farting but at some point in time they will, probably a hidden bog-roll Green tax!
More seriously CO2 is produced in respiration & unless we are called to Glory or deposited somewhere not quite as pleasant, we all respire, its a key stage of being alive, your vehicle is now taxed on how much CO2 it produces, the more CO2 the more you pay, PERSONAL TRANSPORT is seen as the baddie here, and if THEY make it a pain in the arse & more & more expensive, 'cos its using Energy initt! And more & more
Legal tosh happens with
Infringements &
Fines and
Points and increased
insurance and
Toll roads and ridiculously low
speed limits what are you going to do, you are going to give it up aren't you, you will walk, cycle or be like what the future generations will experience, in that future generations are going to be coerced into buy a electric powered bubble car, that's why my friends they are insisting on rating engines in Kilowatts , there will be no other options available to us if we allow them to do this!
Option1)
Give up transport then,
They have a better chance of meeting their reduced Greenhouse Gas emission targets.
Option2)
Fight on....
That my friends is why they are going to make Motorcycles of the Future with anti-tampering software, before the final end of the ICE, brought about by governance & policy change.
Consider, that 20 Councils in Britain have applied to take over from the Police the Administration of 30 motoring infringements levelling fines into their coffers, through camera surveillance and Penalty acquisition, from out on the road to parking,
one camera through entrapment of the road lay-out in a London Borough, made 2.7 million last year in fines!
Parking Charges are increasing because some Borough Councils are taking a 40+ % cut in their funds from
Central Government this year, they can't raise Council tax so, motoring offences is the only way to make money as well as agreeing to Land Development schemes with houses popping up everywhere!
The other issue is that a Norton International is worth more than a house forty years ago is because of mainly INFLATION & Currency Devaluation, this indicates that paper money is becoming worthless & valueless at an alarming rate, the
Weimar Republic anyone? This is not good because it means that most of us will never attain financial independence from our needs,
debt is a hard taskmaster.
Lookup the Exchange rate in Dollars to Sterling in 1860 to get my drift, American Civil War time.
America is starting to wake up to the hard facts of social engineering, but we in Blighty, are sleep walking ourselves into losing our
FREEDOMS and options with regards to Lifestyle choices and work activities, why do you think nearly if not all the aluminium smelting has been allowed to leave the UK? Immigration, Porn, Paedophilia, Gender issues, Terrorism, are all Side-Shows,
Agenda 21, massive job losses, falling wages, Social Policies and Planning are real, at work we couldn't talk any more in the Lecturer's Staff Room in case someone reported us for being non PC and hence offensive, so Barry an old time engineer & myself waited till everyone else had gone out....remind you of anywhere a few hundred miles east & famous for sausages 70-80 years ago.
Oh! and by the way when I went to register to get married in two weeks time and showed my old pink Licence it was not a valid document as it did not have a photo on it, however in 2015, even though it was originally issued till 2027 it will no longer be valid as I will then require a photo licence as apparently so shall we all!
