A lot of forum members by their interest in knives are also outdoor people. I found this on youtube, and have encountered this scenario once when out checking my yabby nets, and such a creature was drinking near where i had one of my nets. A yabby is a fresh water crustacean, similar to a prawn or small crawfish. Look this up on youtube, and click robbiefishing and hopefully this will come up. The first part is him just talking, but you can forward to the actual snake part.

I probably should have posted this in the outdoor thread, would seem more appropriate in hindsight.

Yes mate that is the one. Thanks for posting the link, that skill is out of my jurisdiction.

I've been wanting a Suzuki Van Van for some time now but I can only get the 125 version of it here for some reason so I moved my wish over to the Yamaha TW 200. I like both of these because of the fat tires. Not that I need em, I just like how they look. Looking at those AG's, I like those front & rear racks they have. I wonder if I could mix those two Yamaha features? The TW balloon tires on an AG. Or the AG racks on a TW? I'll have to check into that. Maybe I'll stop by my local Yamaha dealer some day and ask. Over here in Germany it's a huge problem getting things registered, insured or inspected if you change anything on any motor vehicle. You always have to check first to see if it's "allowed". Tires, lights, blinkers, exhaust pipes or anything else.

Anyways, just thinking out loud. Glad to have seen that AG though. Thanks for the picture Jerry!

Still a little "Heil Hitler" left in the Fatherland??

My wife and immediate family are originally from North Vietnam, in the early 70s they immigrated (secretly) to Zhanjiang China on foot to escape the aggressive Communist and American B52 bombings. (Long-Long story).

She went to Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich also referred to as LMU or the University of Munich, in Germany.
She studied Language / Translation at LMU. Most of the courses were taught in the German language only.
When the exams were turned in, she said that they had to be "perfect" not even one error could be encountered or you would start over at ground zero.
The Germans are very strict and precise when it comes to anything official.
Kind of like American Immigration, or Dept. of Motor Vehicles?

Can you imagine the endless time and paper work we encountered prior to our marriage and dealing with three foreign ministries?
That is where our friend above from Moldova came to our rescue. I must admit that the Ludwig Maximilian University in Germany with their strict education was most likely an asset in our case.
