Hey Frank,

That safe dosage idea is just a parallel to radiation dosages - I started off as a chemist with an interest in radionuclides. All studies with were carried out away from the lab. Ten seemed to be the recommended limit but I don't recall the units. That was always the problem....

Hope the weather is good there in Sydney. I'm making my way to Oz on a work trip and will be there next weekend.

Cheers

The radiation limits for EMF were worked out using the temperature rise up a rats bum .... What was the question?

Good ? at the mo around 30C max ... could do with more real rain. Dams at 60% full and need to get over 75% before we go off water restictions .. that could take a while of very heavy rain.

I'm sure glad my "Lead underwear" only causes jock itch.

Life is a terminal disease...

Piece of Aluminium Foil under the seat should work

I am not a beleiver about motrocycle cancer but now if you want to be medical lets talk about motorcycle addiction. The symptome can be very persistant especialy in winter when the weather for some of us can stop them to ride or when the bike is down at the mecanich, its often follow with fever every year at the same time when the new models arrive ,sometime extrem case paranoya or obsession can make your life difficult.I myself suffer of leg problem and needed to use the bike even for short distance ,I even have lost of memory and forgot that when I ride with a passenger I needed to stop even if I had gas in my tank??. I notice also some earing problem discovering sounds that my bike was making and should not . After consulting with others my conclusion was that it is also contagious so be aware if you talk moto or travel or worst travelling on a bike you may heading toward Hubbiction.

Dont forget about a disease called MMAA (motorcycle modification & accessory addiction). I have been officially informed that I am suffering from it too.

It is rare in the general public but seems to have a high prevalence in motorcycle riders and even higher in adventure sport/touring riders. It is believed that it is due to excessive vibration affecting the adrenal gland caused but long hours in the saddle. The pathology is also thought to be exacerbated by the inherent stimulation of the adrenal gland due to the perceived thrill of riding, which is why it is believed that most motorcyclist are effected in some manner. The symptoms also are upregulated in proportion to the number of hours spent riding compared to the number of hours thinking about riding.

The symptoms usually manifest themselves, as “constantly tinkering”, and pervasive buying of new “bits” for their bike. The instillation of said “bit” can range from immediately upon receiving the good to a stock pilling behaviour. The stock piled “bits” are then all installed at once or never get used at all. There also seems to be a correlation with self perception of “skill with tools”, the higher the self perception the higher the MMAA symptoms appear, however this self perception of ability does not have to be accurate in anyway, although it does affect the speed and accuracy of installing the "bits". The person suffering from the condition always believes that he/she has a finite list of “modifications” to make their bike "perfect", but sufferers always seem to find “just one more” or “almost there” as an excuse. They are often lead into impetuous or impulsive buying when they find a sale or see an other bike with a modification that they had not though of. While in general this disease is not life threatening or even destructive (unless the self perceived tool ability is completely delusional) it does seem to have a fiscal impact, and has been known to bore partners of sufferers to great extremes. It has a number of secondary impact such as; the stock pilling sufferers losing entire rooms to accessory stock piles; family disturbances when the sufferers use house hold items such as dishwashers to wash mechanical parts; and addiction to websites where members discuss what the latest “bit” is and encourage and enable these behaviours. Some members of these sites report spending hours of their time at work “surfing” these sites, and worry about losing their jobs because of it, yet are unable to stop. Some members have posted over 5000 messages in a little over a year.
