Please make a nice world, don't make it nasty. This page is NOT for gas guzzlers, Guantanamo rendition by US marines and their CIA overlords, the police thugs of New Labour, fat lawyers, Freemasons, KKK, dodgy religions and all politicians who openly support corruption, torture, lies, bad laws while stealing our taxes.
Where The People fear the government there is tyranny.
This website: A better Britain, Helping others:
Welcome to modern Britain. Apart from the creeping Police state,
we all know Britain is awash with incompetent workers, real
skills are being lost, education a joke. Despite the crap we must all say NO to bad workmanship.
Vote for decent MP's - If totaly usless, they should get no wage. Not the obscene 100,000 +++
they now get. Only if there is social harmony, decent housing, dental and hospitals, with no car congestion nor crime in thier area should polticians get any decent pay ! And so, after getting pissed off with slimy, lying politicians, Freemasons and ID cards, it's time to make your own little bit of the world better. This website is here because Britain's skills are at an all time low. Government paperwork now actually prevents craftmanship. More often we can do better ourselves. The following is a rather wide spread of low cost skills that most Brits can manage. From making your own spectacles to plumbing a house, save money and also save time for better things, while developing a truly worthwhile sense of pride in our own abilities.
The main areas of poor workmanship and exorbitant cost, are in
vehicle repair, computers, home DIY and such like; so many are
covered here. Britain is now so bad, I regularly and freely repair the work of 'certified' plumbers, roofers, computer experts, vehicle mechanics, gas fitters and electricians. A house down our street blew up completely because of a certified gas fitter. A professional roofer (repairing next door), left a ten foot hole in our roof one night during a thunderstorm. See Home DIY simple roof repair.
Most of Britain now a 'rip off'.

Cowboys rule: British Gas said our back boiler was no longer
repairable but they could fit a new system for a thousand
pounds. I found the commonly available part in my town for under
a fiver, fitted it within an hour and was then passed by a
highly recommended independent gas expert. See home DIY - gas.
Of course ordinary Brits can do better: Increasing numbers of British engineers and teachers emigrate. With Blair's 'degrees for all', nobody takes education seriously. 'A' levels are a joke. (Don't blame the kids, they know no better and the few good teachers that are left are hamstrung.) Students now resort to prostitution and many top graduates openly intend to commit 'white collar' crime upon graduation. I know two who have already fallen down this terrible route, often through Jobcentre pressure. Of course Britain can do better: As standards fail, some of the most popular evening classes are DIY plumbing for women. Everyone can see the real situation: Self reliance makes for a better Britain. This website offers basic plumbing skills.
Criminals will relish I.D. cards.
DNA, ID cards and government thugs.
Dream on Britain - where politicians openly lie and send the
finest soldiers to die in an illegal war. Dream on into a police
state, where police can kill, then get
If the law does not respect the people, then the people
cannot respect the law.
Foxhunting, smoking - who's next. - Us. New Labour
has now passed laws to prevent home owners from doing their own
work. Sod useless gov't crap laws and training schemes. Do it
yourself. Whatever happens, New
Meanwhile, hundreds of MP's with fat pensions have yet more
subsidised drinking bars installed in Parliament, plus endless
expensive meals in Strasburg. Our taxes pay for their excesses.
True Brits are becoming nothing more than tax cows.

The bike projects:
'A Builders Guide' Series is
based on my research notes between 1990 and 2000 while building
the JP1 to JP7 and Longbow. Twelve machines were built, four
being road legal. Information gleaned from research and decades
of building award wining custom and radical machines is
condensed into these guides. All start from basics, through
design and engineering hurdles to build and test functional
machines.
The JP3 is still my favourite and far nicer to ride than my
Ducati. The JP4 handles even better, with a low drag factor and
a power to weight ratio better than a motocrosser, a rim disk to
stop an elephant, but was just too powerful for the tyres. Since
2002, I've been developing well beyond the JP7. The radical JP8b
design is close to first test run, but I need to take out at
least five patents, but I'm on the dole.
This website started as a description of the JP7 and Longbow, to
show some of the ways I had developed two wheel design and to
gain feedback. By 1993, the fundamentals for both the Longbow
and JP series were well proven with many fully working chassis
designs far beyond my expectations. Many were road legal and
ridden in various countries.
The pedal cycle programme ended with the Longbow recumbent cycle
design. The Longbow cycle and JP7 were both fun to ride and help
develop the chassis geometry now in the JP8b.
I like riding in real comfort, not a flag in the wind or rain.
These designs have the comfort and crash safety of feet first,
the suspension advantages of single sided front and rear
suspension, antidive hub centre steering, and of course, all are
developed to have hands-off stability even at walking pace. All
are superb to ride. From the outset they are designed to be
truly ergonomic forms, genuinely relaxing for all riders, ultra
compact, very light with low centres of gravity, which in turn
offers very fine handling and superb slaloming capability.
The JP7 was originally designed as a long distance
tourer. With superb stability and agility, the machines showed
even greater promise as an inner city taxi bike. All the
development machines were fun to ride using a wide range of
testers, including ladies, children and the disabled. The JP7c
series was re-developed for batches of twenty, for Trident, 996,
R1 and VFR engines for 15,000 pounds each. Project is shelved.
The JP8b/c is different again, to test my advanced
work, partially proven with the JP5c/d sub-series and achieving
many world firsts. This is patent country and all other forms of
motorcycle are now dated. Presently undergoing non destructive
testing to maximum loads, tortional stiffness and structural
feedback testing and primary refinements. From the graphs, the
JP8b is theoretically far better and the design more advanced
than any F1 technology. The engineering problems have all been
resolved and being perfected. This is penultimate stage to the
final solo JP9 racer and the dual enclosed JP10 which should be
due around 2015/20.
Although these are called guides, the
author advises the reader not to act upon this information
because the dogs of law lie around every corner. (Increasing
numbers of excellent and useful websites are being shut down
through greedy lawyers. As lawyers get richer, society gets
poorer.)
So always try to improve society rather than just take from it.
Until then, lawyer stuff. Copying, duplication or transmission
