Welcome to 'Your Shout', the page where members can air what ever matter they have GOT to tell every one about, so it is not editted, though I do not tolerate racism ( I'm funny like that...) so get it off your chest but remember there is a difference between shouting spite and spouting shite.

This month, Zippy tells us about the diverse and enthralling wildlife assossiated with motorcycles.......


THE WONDERFUL WORLD of the CB250N Many people feel that the internal combustion Engine and Nature are impossible to reconcile ,however with a little bit of work /neglect it is possible to make your bike into a rolling nature reserve.

This superdream may seem perfectly normal but look closer... AND....



A split in the seat cover creates the perfect conditions for a beautiful moss garden.



Seat Moss, Kate Moss' sister.....

BUT that is not all ! With further Intensive watering a habitat suitable for the rare Guatimalan Rust jumping spider can be made:-





Note the attractive Lichens on the crankcase, see how the spider has evolved to be perfectly camouflaged against the rusty back mudguard.......so it may surprise its prey more easily. They provide food for reindeer in the winter. Though no actual reindeer appear for some reason.....

Here we see the burrow of the rare Motad's Mole who makes his home In hollow exhaust manifolds,He isnt home at this time of year ,he migrates to North Africa.....





.But he and his mate will return to the same pipe for life How they get into a locked Garage is one of the Unsolved Mysteries of creation. see how the moles have enlaged the split in the downpipe a little each season.

Oportunities to encourage wild life are not limited to the externals alone:- Here a Common Camchain Catapilar emerges Note its huge strength for its size, as it rips the cylinder block off its studs.



If a man were as strong, size for size, He could lift something quite heavy!!! ( Like Jame's Wallet......)

Obviously to make such a motorised safari park takes time(7 years parked in someones front garden) and this can be discouraging .So a begineer may want to start with a Russian Ural motor bike:- Inside the sealed Electronic Ignition module the factory fit a Siberian Suicidal Saboteur Bug:- It has Evolved to walk over vital electronic circuitry if the bike moves too fast. This stops the bike and although the mother dies it allows the bugs young to jump on board. It also means the factory dont have to improve the crap brakes.

I think he has been too near the paint thinners again...........better get in touch with Social Services.

See if you can find a motad's mole. But kids don't look up exhausts when the engine is running as it tastes bad and you may die,.

GOOD HUNTING
Love To ALL from Richard/Tony/Zippy
