Life came to earth on a comet?

As an example of this where would you think that life would be likely to originate, on a planet with plenty of water and a relatively constant temperature orbiting a sun for billions of years…

remember !! the earth had to start somewhere your point above was far and away the case from the beggining

at some point life had to enter the equation and a commet is just as pheasible as any other source

it is a unsolved mystery and things we have to remember are even scientists proove themselves wrong

point being the recent discovery (after saying our sun was the largest !! ) of a sun about a hundred times larger

never mind ehh !! it was probably hid behind something !!

my option would be one of the modern cheap chineese coppies of the old ( bullet proof ) honda 125 four stroke engined bikes

they go cheap engines are prooved bullet proof and long lived

they are a decent nippy machine without being too much of a handfull for the novice

some have classic looks without classic reliability issues

treat it as a stepping stone your first bike is usualy battered when you have finnished with it

as it is not a matter of , if i fall off !! you will , and probably more than once !!

once you gain experience then is the time to get the propper classic

realise it is awful waiting but better that than shattered dreams !!

Think about it.

Learn to ride on something gutless, gain experience and confidence on something you can handle before taking on something that has the potential to cause you and others more damage.

Treat your first machine as a stepping stone, it won’t be forever.

not necessarily the case nowadays !!

a modern 125 in some cases can out perform vintage 500cc machines

a friends aprilia 125 could achieve well over the ton with little tinkering !!

first thing , do not sacrifice an original classic like that (especialy if matching numbered ) the hacking about would ruin it

and even after if you re sleaved etc you then have to start working out your carburettor jet sizes ( it won’t run good on the orriginals )

in short there is that much hacking about involved it just isnt worth it !!

as mentioned a far better option is to learn and take your test pass and plod around for a while on a smaller machine

if you already have the 250 spend time whilst you are on the other to make the 250 a mint unmolested machine

failing light prevented good shots , but this kestrel dropped onto a mouse aprox 5 secs after this shot it landed approx 10 feet away

photo was taken at the end of liverpool john lennon runway

seems to be a haven for them round there !! although they have to fight the locals for survival !!

also had a merlin take a great tit close to my feet whilst fishing

and held a kestrel whilst it came round after being pounced by a cat after it had pounced a mouse , a very memmorable moment on my 21st birthday !!

How about …………RMA? Redundant Military Aircraft !!!!!!

Planemike

wouldn’t work , that could possibly cover the new f35 joint strike fighter !!

well for us in the uk anyway !!

sunrise over my villiage ( took a while over it as i wanted not to sihlouette the lanscape whilst keeping the skys detail and colour

burst of fill flash to reflect in the dewdrops !!

i did a spell in a foundry (pattern making ) etc , and it is not unkown for employees to cast thier own items in down time !!
