Advantages: Attractive Cruisor. Smooth accelleration and easy handling. Great suspension and ride. Disadvantages: Heavy. Engine vibration above 85mph. Drags pegs on sharp turns.
The Honda Ace Tourer is an excellent motorcycle package for someone looking for a cruiser style bike with excellent retro looks, and a proven hydraulic valve V twin engine. It has excellent acceleration for its weight of over 600 lbs. Handling is easy at slow and high speeds up to 85 mph. Top speed no matter how you slice it is 100 mph. Good hard bags with top lid access and plentiful rubber gaskets keeps your gear dry and safe. The ACE comes with a great windshield, wide plush seat and large wide handle bars that keep you in good riding position for many enjoyable miles. A great interstate bike with sufficient power to pass and adjust your position on the highway. MPG 41 town 44 Hwy
The draw backs to the bike, if you want to call them that, are typical of most cruisers. Top end engine vibration is more than I expected from ...
Advantages: It was well worth seeing Disadvantages: Maybe the accents mixed things up a little!
Valkyrie.
A thriller directed by Brian Singer.
Rated 12A
Running time 120 minutes.
As soon as I saw the television advertisements for the war film Valkyrie it went down on my list of films to see.
I am no big fan of Tom Cruise but I had read in one of the National newspapers that Cruise had always personally abhorred Hitler and all he stood for and felt that the part of Claus Von Stauffenburg was just made for him, so I was interested to watch how he portrayed the Wehrmacht Colonel who influenced the scheme to try to save the Fatherland which took place on July 20th 1944.
Interestingly the cast has its fair share of well known British actors including Terence stamp, Kenneth Branagh and Bill Nighy who all rather confusingly speak in Queen`s English.
Thomas Kretschmann is cast as a cold blooded Nazi who rings the changes ...

Advantages: Plot, shows a different side to Germany, good acting Disadvantages: None really
Valkyrie is a film I saw advertised on the TV a few weeks ago and I just wanted to watch it. The film is rated a PG 12 so no one under the age of 12 should be allowed to watch it without an adult with them and is directed by Brian Singer.
Valkyrie is based on a true story and is based on a plot to assassinate Hitler. The film starts in 1943 in Tunisia where we see the main character Colonel Von Stauffenberg (Tom Cruise) who is fighting for Hitler and the Nazi`s. He is caught in an air raid and looses his left eye and his right hand.
Later on Stauffenberg joins other German officers who are disgusted by Hitler. They make a plot to assassinate Hitler and it is up to Stauffenberg to perform this unappealing task. If he fails it will result in death for the group of them and maybe their families.
Some of the supporting cast are ...
