The thought crossed my mind this morning that it may be expedient for speedmaster riders headed to Ozbam to perhaps get on the road on tuesday morning-even the black ones fitted with billet tear drop racing mirrors. Obviously the America riders can approach the trip in a more liesurely fashion with the extra power etc available to them-especially the ones fitted with black sheepskin seat covers. For those who would take umbridge at this I have taken the liberty of slipping Richard a few bucks to act as my bodyguard-his other great passion is the martial arts! Had dinner with Frank and Jo Whitley last night and Frank tells me that after tuning his Harley with his new "you beaut" dynojet or similar that if he had been going they would have left Bundaberg after lunch on friday to make dinner at Bulahdelah-reckons that they would be there even quicker but Jo insists on stopping for afternoon tea!!!!

That's right! I like doing paintings of all things military, especially big-arsed tanks. So watch it! (Edit: Oh ... wrong arts.)
Kent's reference to the abnormally fast speed of America's equipped with black sheepskin seat covers may puzzle some readers. It's a little known fact that sheepskin has a zero drag co-efficient. That's because the wool holds a pocket of air above the surface so the passing wind (you can take that either way  ) encounters no friction at all and disappears rapidly behind you. That's why sheep are known as 'slippery little buggers' and velcro gloves are popular in rural environs.

Perhaps you could explain this a little further. And maybe use some pictures.

Well finding those pictures is not a simple task. The frictionless attributes of the sheepskin (as noted above) is so dam effective it's known to bend light - making the sheep invisible to the camera. And this is why New Zealand's awesome military might is invisible - they're wearing stealth sheepskin.

Maybe I can help here. Back in the early seventies they discovered that sheepskin worn on the back of a motorcycle jacket would bend the equilibrium of light itself and enable excessive speeds previously unknown to man. Of course it was more effective if you shaved off one eyebrow.

Here is a motorcycle fitted out to attain extremely high velocity due to a direct sheepskin implant. Of course shaving off one eyebrow would always help.

What is with the gay biker portrayal in Mad Max? Is it an Australian thing?
