on a bike with no catalytic converter (eg all of mine) unleaded is poking out far worse toxins than lead.
Whereas a methanol engine on castor oil, smells great and no nasties  ;)

Nothing wrong with 100 octane leaded  *clap* doesnt go off in the tank and gum up the pilot jets

Sorry Jules, looks like they are canning the planed motorsports park up in Nowra because they (greenies) found a leefless orchid. Millions $ had already been spent and it was in it's final stages. It would have created local jobs and brought in millions $ to the local economy. I was hoping to give my cafe one last fling on a track with some real fuel (brotherinlaw's got a still).

Yeah that's madness Muskrat. There IS a balance... if we could only see through the simplistic rhetoric on both sides.

No there isn't.
When you have an ego as big as all of these saviours of humanity.
We can grow watermellons in outer space but aparently it is impossible  to plant some wild flowers some where else.
However LJ Hooker will have no problems running the D9's over them in order to build another 200 McMansions.

The same idoicy has happened with the not so Great Western Highway.
They are going to try and force 4 lanes down the Victoria Pass with the 9 dangerious switchback hairpin bends at a cost 3 times what the best route was to again save a "rare" local variation of a common orchid which so I have heard is a mutation caused by toxic waste from the old shale oil mines & coal mines.

I hope it makes you guys fell a little better if I tell you that it happens over here as well . We had a massive problem in Crosby due to schools , basically  the school run closed Crosby/thornton twice a day and the through road being a major route from North Sefton to Liverpool and the motorways couldn't cope even in normal traffic . A relief road was suggested ...28 yrs ago ,it opened in November 2015 !! It didn't run the full distance ,instead ending at one of the very bottlenecks it was supposed to remove due to a colony of naterjack toads ,  was over budget and 8 mths behind schedule due to the route used encountering tributaries of the Alt no less than 6 times , which needed extra drainage work and ponds created to stop flooding . It was also only 2 lanes not the 4 planned, all in all a complete cockup.

The School run - twice a day the country almost grinds to a halt, why not go back to bus's and legs .
