    I never thought I would say this

    The Japanese and European motorcycle manufacturers came to the conclusion as a group that speeds were getting out of hand for street bikes and limited their top speeds stock to 186 mph. It was the Hayabusa that started the talks. BMW and Ducati both make models that break that agreement.

    Centipede: Articulated home made dual VW engine hydraulic steering buggy from 25 years ago.

    There is so much cool in that shaky home video. The three wheel buggy with the gigantic caster wheel in front looks like so much freakin fun.

    Centipede: Articulated home made dual VW engine hydraulic steering buggy from 25 years ago.

    The thought this guy put into the buggy is crazy. In that time period, there were lots of garage built experiments as the hobby decided which way it wanted to head next. I'd never heard of this one and it's well worth the 11 minutes.

    State Farm, pleads with department of insurance for Calif rate hike

    You need to do what you think is best. I'm blowing the road block at speed, horn blowing and upshifting. It's an emergency. Been through the Panorama as a boy, the knoll, toilet paper fire, and the Old/grand prix/padua fire. No one is going to use your stuff to protect your home unless you and...

    Midair Collision - DC - American Airlines and Blackhawk

    My mistake then. Was watching Juan Brown on youtube go over the clusterfu%$ that flying that location is. He went over the roles of the 3 soldiers, also saying that due to being the army, 450 hours was about average for her rank. Also, it wasn't a slight on army pilots. Just that they have to do...

    Midair Collision - DC - American Airlines and Blackhawk

    She was flying. One of the other soldiers would have been manning the radios.

    Metal blade for cutting metal

    Metal saws run a lower RPM than a standard skil saw. I don't know if the faster circ saw would damage the metal blade or overheat the work. Something to look into.

    Help needed evaluating sand rail

    Looks like a nice buggy. A few more pictures of engine and transmission, dash electronics and interior will help. Any paperwork on registration and motorwork would help.

    High spirited Dual sport bikes

    What didn't you like about the motor on the katoom? I've only ridden one and it was a short ride but the copious amounts of horsepower made me pay attention. Spinning the tire in 6tth never gets old. The CRF450L was an expensive, heavy and detuned pig of a bike due to emissions regs when it...

    The pendulum is swinging back Hard!!!

    It's too far gone. All of the DEI hires from the last 30 years are now well into the upper echelons of the largest corporations. These people will continue to hire other like minded individuals. Since they were hired for reasons other than skill, ability, education, and hustle, they won't be...

    My faith in humanity has been restored - what would you do ?

    Sold this FZ1 to a kid coming up from New Zealand. He planned to ride the bike all over the USA over the next year and he found my ad on craigslist. I had done almost all of the maintenance on the bike. Had put 30 of the 35K on it and new what its issues were (Popped out of second at high revs)...

    It sure is dark over here

    Exactly. Look at all that particulate matter up in teh air from those houses burning. Can't put green waste in the garbage cans either. It must go in a green can. My Dad had a dumpster that he would load with pine needles with his tractor about 4 months out of the year. It was easy for him. At...
