barkwindjammer Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 We are fortunate to live in a free democracy, our kith and kin slogged, sweated, and toiled for that freedom, and we don't put a moments thought to it-until its 'Remembrance day', then we buy a poppy. dewing the woaw ! so, 'dewing' those moments of frustration when a bolt shears, there's no spark, you walk away from the bike at a filling station-and the stand isn't down ! have a think about the determination, guts, and ingenuity of geeks/enthusiasts like this (link below) that wont be beaten-regardless of the odds, and of the people that had to use this 'determination' in anger/necessity. Defo one for fellow 'wing-nuts' out there,,,,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
