Motorbikes | Motorcycles | Scooters | Tricycles - All Brands
There are approximately 75,000 - 82,000 (ish) Licenced | Registered motorcycles, scooters and tricycles in Hong Kong, it never really changes much and dealers keep large stocks of popular models for immediate delivery due to heavy demand - The Transport Department classifies motorcycles and scooters as the same type of vehicle, personally I prefer the term motorbikes rather than motorcycles .....and yes, Hong Konger‛s love fast bikes.
There is nothing at all unusual about the popularity of motorcycles in Hong Kong, big powerful bikes are a lot more popular than the entry level 125cc and 250cc bikes simply because here you can get a motorcycle from all the major brands that do 190mph + and 0 - 60mph in 2.8 seconds, fast enough to outperform most supercars and even hypercars in Hong Kong and at a fraction of the price of a typical supercar, it is an easy sale. Scooters, well they are popular for food delivery companies!
There are over 125 brands of motorcycles, scooters and trikes for sale in Hong Kong
Motorbikes - the top 7 selling brands of motorbikes as far as I can determine in Hong Kong are as follows
Honda ✚ Yamaha ✚ Suzuki ✚ Kawasaki ✚ Ducati ✚ Harley Davidson ✚ BMW
Scooters - the top 5 selling brands of scooters as far as I can determine in Hong Kong are as follows :
Kymco ✚ Sym ✚ Piaggio ✚ San Yang ✚ Vespa
Tricycles - the top 5 selling brands of tricycles | trikes as far as I can determine in Hong Kong are as follows :
Adiva ✚ BRP ✚ Gilera ✚ Paiggio ✚ Harley Davidson
All the numerous biker clubs are out in force on Sunday‛s when weather permits! It is not unusual to see 50+ big bikes in formation on country roads on Hong Kong Island and the New Territories

Stocks Lane (cul-de-sac) view north-west at its junction with Robins Lane, Carleton, Blackpool. Friday 22 January 2021.
CARLETON – BISPHAM VILLAGE (LONG VANISHED DIRECT FOOTPATH)
In the olden days when it was just fields between Carleton and Bispham village there was a footpath that linked the two communities, over time as the land was developed this path disappeared. The route of the footpath is described below:
Stocks Lane commences at the junction with Blackpool Road B5268, it is the lane that you go down to Carleton Crematorium which continues north for a short distance past the left turn in to the crematoriums private driveway located opposite the southern end of Robbins Lane.
Stocks Lane was originally longer than it is now with the footpath to Bispham village commencing at Walker’s Farm (also known as Hill House) the path ran alongside the lane on the north side of it in a westerly direction through what is now Carleton Cemetery. Just west of the current western boundary of the cemetery the lane ended and only the footpath continued north-west to where Bristol Avenue is now. The path then turned north crossing a watercourse via a foot stick (footbridge) and continued north through what is now the recycling centre (formerly the destructor) it then then turned sharp left and ran parallel on the southern side of what is now Wakefield Road (cul-de-sac). From this point it continued west crossing todays Ashfield Road and roughly along the current back garden boundary fences of properties on Buxton Avenue and Denstone Avenue until reaching todays Bangor Avenue where it turned north-west coming out on to Blackpool Road just north of Myrtle Bank (todays junction with Denstone Avenue). You then continued north for a short distance along Blackpool Road to reach Bispham Village.

The LEO adapter is compatible with AR-15 telescoping stocks and pistol grips. Our stock adapters, manufactured for the Remington 870 and Mossberg 500/590, are investment cast aircraft aluminum. They are then CNC machined and
anodized with a Type III Class 2 Mil-spec finish.
These stocks were built in 1741 by John Linaker . The first person to be put in them was Thomas Rimmer on the 3rd June 1861 when he was sentenced to six hours for drunkeness . Presumably everybody in the area had been law-abiding for the previous 120 years .
For the punishment of petty criminals like people who speed or double park.
Day 5 on the Coast to Coast blogged about at ramblingman.org.uk/coasttocoast/coast_to_coast_day_5
Technical analysis of stocks is based on the idea that past performance of a stock can predict future performance. This is attractive because poring over a company's 10Q reports and trying to figure out a reasonable value for a company is not nearly as fun as looking at stock charts and guessing whether a stock will go up or down.
I decided to see whether I could predict future performance based on past performance. To start with, I decided only to use the S&P 500 stocks. This makes things more manageable. It does skew the numbers slightly since all of the companies in the S&P 500 are very successful and large cap. I'm okay with that. It's skewed a bit more because I'm using stock data that may be from before they were a super-successful company, for instance, Microsoft back in the mid 1980s. If I were feeling really dedicated, I would only use data for companies after they were included in the S&P 500, but that'd be more work and I don't feel like it.
So I gathered all the past performance data from yahoo for something like 497 of the 500 stocks in the S&P500... Yahoo has done something very nice for us. They have an adjusted stock price which takes into account stock splits and dividends. So I'm going to use that. I wrote a program that would look at all of them, ignore ones where the adjusted stock price is so low you can't get reasonable numbers, and so on.
The first obvious test is to assume stock prices will stay the same. I kept track of the variance and plotted it above. 1 day into it, you're not far wrong in assuming the stock price will stay the same, but the farther out you look, the more wrong you become.
Just a little treat :) Credit me, if you please.

EDIT! PLEASE READ! IMPORTANT! The lower stock is a TRAP! so unless you plan on keeping it the same colour as it is now, do NOT recolour it! Sorry for any inconvenience :/ But the top one is completely recolourable.

View taken from the same position as the previous photograph although this time looking west across Carleton Cemetery, Blackpool. I am stood on the course of the old footpath (and the abandoned section of Stocks Lane) it would have continued straight across here slightly to the right of the electricity pylon in the distance. The tall building you can see in the background is the Rowlands & Hames offices on Bristol Avenue, Blackpool. Friday 22 January 2021

A similar view to the previous two photographs although taken a bit further back. Again looking south-east from near the eastern boundary of Carleton Cemetery, Carleton, Blackpooi. Friday 22 January 2021
Walker’s Farm/Hill House would have on the right behind the broken concrete fence. I am stood on what was the course of the old footpath; the eastern boundary fence of the cemetery is on the left.

Saturday 6 April 2013: Punishment and humiliation
These are the stocks on the village green at Berkswell - they are known to date from the late 18th century, although stocks would have been used as a punishment and humiliation for wrong-doers from Medieval times. You can probably see that the lower parts of these stocks have been fairly recently renovated. Punishment in the stocks generally lasted for at least several hours and often overnight. During this time passers-by would throw all forms of disgusting waste at the petty criminal. The second Statute of Labourers in 1350 ordered that stocks should be made in every town and village in England. Though this statute was never expressly abolished, the punishment of the stocks began to die out in England during the early part of the 19th century. The interesting part about these stocks is that, unusually, they have five holes. This is thought to be due to the fact there were three persistent offenders in the village who would often be sentenced to the stocks - one of whom only had one leg!
Stocks Wood in Bournville as seen from Maple Road and Arcadia Road.
It was once part of the Great Forest of Arden. But the current trees probably dated back 150 years.
Seems to be called "Camp Wood" on Google Maps for some reason or other.

#OTC #stocks or “over-the-counter” stock exchange refers to that type of exchange where trade is done directly between two companies and there is no influence of official stock #exchange #companies in it.
This pub was owned by Stocks' Shibden Head Brewery, and it is that familys coat of arms to which the name refers, so who was the joker who came up with the bloke fiddling merrily with a foot in the stocks? Many meetings were held here. Frederick Crowther, who was Michael Stocks steward, conducted a lot of the local business.
