[Bioconversion] Re: opinions needed for sustainable-fueledmotorcyleadventure trip

[Ken Basterfield]

Dear All,
In the 1980's I had to spend some time under the arches at Liverpool Street
Station in London. Not  dossing, I can assure you. The Railway signaling
system technicians had workshops there that they used infrequently. The
smell was appalling, like some long uncleaned urinal. In fact not unlike  a
pre Beeching railway station Gents. But it wasn't, it was equine urine from
when horse drawn busses and taxis stood above this spot waiting for
passengers 60 years before. Definitely not biodegradeable. 
On the other point of motorcycles, great idea, but not at all safe on UK
roads.
Ken

G'day All,

But horses produce manure and may be able to utilise some wastes that
would otherwise not be used! We need to take a "system" view rather than
a "unit" view.

Have a good day,
HOOROO
