Off topic but reminds me of Perkins diesel engines as fitted to my old van 4.108 = 4 cylinders and 108 cu inches.
I'd never known what their numbering meant till now..

The Slovakians and Polish we spoke to over tye last few days put the blame for this (and many other things) on the Ukranians. You don't see any Ukranian flags flying here, there is no love lost between them.
Eh? How is Ukraine's fault that mad cunt decided to wreck their country?
The Slovaks we spoke to think the the Ukrainians ruined their country financially. Hence why there seems to be very little public sympathy for their current predicament. I didn't want to go to much further into it, as I was a guest in Slovakia.

But the only Ukrainian flag we saw was depicted on a very large billboard with the words "Meir Unkraine" (Peace Ukraine) printed on it. Except most of "Ukraine" had been torn off and painted over. Do Slovakians want Ukraine destroyed? I would hazard a guess that some do.

Anyway, the Roadtecs are excellent, and I am very pleased I could not fit Dunlops again.

I was puzzled by this relationship so did a bit of research.
As usual in that part of the world borders having moved over time seems to be part of the problem.

Marketplace sellers why bother advertising if you aren't going to reply to questions? Nice FZ750 and an Exup near me, neither are replying. Why have 80/90s bike prices gone mental?

Quite, you just have to look at the videos on YouTube/Google of Lunik 9. But who is at fault for the fucking mess it is in? The Slovaks or the Romanians? Bald and Bankrupts video summed the place up well, but doubt he will ever go back.

It is AMC. But then that's the beauty of the Dark Wob, the range of comments on all threads.
