His assests may not be easy to access (or considered his, even if they were able to liberate them)

That was enough for me to go and have a quick look at TRXs on Bike Trader

In a recent interview Trump mentioned several people who he thinks should be in jail (Schiff, Cheney etc) which the media gleefully reported as evidence he's going to send the DoJ to persecute them.

On the basis that Assad had to get up and leave quickly , leaving his fleet of vehicles behind, one assumes that he had sorted his affairs ...
But what are the benefits to Putin in qiving him asylum?

Whilst he was a Putinite whilst in power, his top trumps value is now very little!

A few years ago, I was at the Ace Cafe Reunion, and the man from Gold Top was there (or at least he said he was and everything was Gold Top branded. Now every other Ace Cafe Reunion stand seems to be full of 20 GBP gloves and 45 GBP helmets, so he could have been another Gold Top Talked to hime for ...

As above - looks okay but I prefer the original offering.
The original didn’t have that swing arm, did it?

Taking the heat shield of the front mount is absolutely daft - if you de catt the bikes the front pipes run cooler - but still warm at times. Not sure why you didn't leave the plate on the back mudguard. There is nothing there that has really enhanced the std bike ! (Which does have long travle susp...

Mine looks better

Paedophile Information Exchange. An attempt, starting in 1970s, to get acceptance and influence for paedophiles. Harriet Harman notoriously championed them. TBH, I found that hard to believe - but it would appear to be partly true. She didn't champion them per se but supported some of their actions...

Gah!, more photoshop / AI photo bollox Dunno.

He seems to have developed a bit of an attitude ?
