The Valkyrie was built in the USA primarily for the American market. There are very few Valkyries in Japan and I don't think I've every seen used Valkyrie parts from Japan advertised.
I think you can rest easy on that needless worry.

I am eagerly awaiting Daniel's next book concerning the nuclear radiation 'enhanced' Valkyrie. Purely a work of fiction, but what a read. Cannot imagine where his prolific mind might take us on the next adventure.

I wonder if anyone ever thought of checking for radiation on auto parts coming out of Japan since 1945...it seem something big happened in two of the largest industrial cities in that country way back then...oh I know there is some prime island beach property that had big bangs happen on them and nobody can set foot there for like another 10,000yrs....oh well what you can't see won't hurt you...

I was going to go out for a ride, but went back over the posts after remembering I live in California, right downwind from Japan. So . . . . i wrapped myself in aluminum foil, cut out little holes for my eyes and ate 3 iodine pills. I should be OK for about an hour.    |

Sometimes people will preface a post by saying, "No offense, but ..."
I won't bother. Some of you are like a bunch of hand wringing old women worrying about something to worry about. Thanks Willow, now I'm worried about sounding like an old women! |

but the name calling.......oh my...... Hmmm, the simpler amongst us cannot seem to understand a simile. Willow didn't call anyone a name... although you seem to think that he called someone a hand wringing old women, when he actually used a comparative construct called the SIMILE to liken your behaviors to a "bunch of hand wringing old women". See, he was using a simile to describe your behaviors in an allegorical way. He didn't actually call you a 'hand wringing old women'. Cannot see the difference? Then your educational system has badly failed you. Analytical capacity like a bunch of turnips. |

Awww... Pookey... can I call you Pookey?... have you got your panties in a wad because someone called you on your sh*t? Right now, Pookey, my rock is the 7th floor of the Crown Promenade in Melbourne, Australia, overlooking the river, CBD, and casino. Nice rock. Now you are beginning to sound like a desperate loser. I have no intention of putting any interpretation onto Carl's words... and I judge that he wasn't pulling your chain... he was saying that you are acting like a "bunch of hand wringing old women". I couldn't agree more. |
