Members Handstitched Posted December 6, 2021 Members Report Posted December 6, 2021 @chuck123wapati I hear ya on the O/P . My beef is with printer inks. Its cheaper to buy a whole new printer than it is to buy the inks. What is wrong with that picture? I could go on another whinge, but you get the idea. Thats a good find too BTW, and the mud guards are in near perfect condition too. Normally they're all bent and bingled It sucks about not being able to have a bit of a scrounge at tips ( you call em dumps) . I would have thought the operators would appreciate the recycling aspect and be happy for you to ' do your bit for the planet' . But instead, they prefer to have everything smashed up and buried . That ain't right . I prefer to re-use and recycle where ever I can . We have ' kerbside collections' run by the local councils once or twice a tear. Locals can have a good 'ol scrounge with those.

HS heck no it aint right. Here it s gubment laws that make it impossible to scrounge. Our gubment is run by lobbyists that control our puppet politicians. Those lobbyists sell products so don't want anything really reused or should i say reused by the consumers. so they make it illegal due to "health reasons". True recycling here in the US is a farce at best with as you know every person taught to discard the old and buy the new. People here have even lost the ability to fix anything they own or even take care of themselves in the most simple ways, cant sew, cant cook, but they can damn sure get an app that sells them clothes or tells them where a restaurant is. People here are getting around that to by curbside giveaways also, they set stuff out a couple days before hauling it to the dumps.

Members Handstitched Posted December 8, 2021 Members Report Posted December 8, 2021 I have an 'olde' Malvern Star' with a three speed.It has ' racing' type handle bars' and the gear changer is the hand grip. Its twists , like turning a screw driver. Theres 4 bikes here. I say that as I look down at my belly .....and after eating some brand name fried chicken at the weekend I really should make an effort. In the east and some here in the west, there are ' tip shops' ( dump shops) . Selling all the re-usable stuff that would normally get thrown out smashed up and buried in landfill . Quite often the money, and some of the goods go to charity . Mother Nature can be unkind to so many , floods , fires, storms etc. this is where 'tips shops' can help, to help rebuild peoples lives and give them hope. Hope all goes well with your bike , it may even inspire me to get on mine HS Quote ' I have a very gweat friend in Wome called Biggus Dickus, He has a wife you know, do you know whats she's called?
