    Don't go!! It's a proven fact that no one.... absolutely no one... looses weight on a cruise.... Those health spas they have on board are there just to satify a few guilt feelings...

    Dang... I love cruising in the Caribbean.. Have a great time and don't eat too much. It can be hazardous...

    Doesn't AAA require plus or premier coverage to get the bike covered?? I think?? Just looked at their site and couldn't find any mention of a bike....

    There's probably a small capacitor in the clock that maintains time for a couple of hours. This one may be dead.... Or... it's not getting enough current to put a few miliamps in the bank. I killed my battery in the '99 last summer by running on battery power only for three days straight. When the bike died... everything died... Even started after lunch, but 40 miles down the road it croaked 8.9vdc on the multi. Had to reset everything. I have switched out batteries in the past and didn't have to do a thing.

    If you can dial the PSI in at the compressor, and can keep it exactely the same in both forks, why do you even need a guage....?? Go ahead, give it a try... BTW have you looked up the price of a replacement rear shock yet??

    I have a question.... On a single wheeled trailer does it add a little weight to the lean angle when stopped, on a side stand, or moving at parking lot speeds since the trailer mass also tilts?? Just curious.....

    And after two attemps at fixing the problem I'd start jumping up and down for a new replacement 'twinkie'......

    They built a fleet of them.. how many?? don't know, but maybe it's in the Leno production?? They did distroy them afterwards. At least that was what I was told when I looked into possibility of buying one of the loaners from Chrysler back in '64.

    Here's a rather long presentation done by Jay Leno on the Crysler Turbine. I was lucky enough to see one of them being demo'd at the Eastland Mall, Covina Ca. in 1963. They would fire it up several times during the day and the schedule was posted next to the car. At the time they were drumming up entries for a lottery they were holding to pick individuals that they would 'loan' it to for 3 months at a time. I understood when they scrapped the project that they distroyed all but one of the cars, and it ended up in their museum. I guess according to Leno there were two. Can you imagine what one of these things would bring on the block at Barret Jackson?? I wonder what Leno had to pay Chrysler for his?? This is a long video but nicely done and well worth watching...

    No..No.. No.... don't use a compressor to pump up the front forks or rear shocks.... You'll be sorry....... I have two harley style hand pumps stowed in the netting of the trunk. One 0-30 and one 0 to 60. Take up very little room.

    Yep, The wife and I have been down in Mexico on a couple of 7-8 day trips, plus a road trip fron Tiajuna to Cabo with a buddy. The US$ has never been refused, but before going I always pick up 3-400US in Pesos from a local money dealer. I get daily value, with no fees. I've also picked up Pesos at even a better rate than the bank or hotel from a shopping mall store. They will usually put a sign in the window with the rate if they're exchanging. I also carry a couple of hundred in one's and five's US as a lot of the shops or resturants have trouble exchanging $20 at the bank. The banks are really a PITA in Mexico.... The value is still there. On the way back from the Cabo trip My buddy and I stopped in Ensinada around dinner time to get a real mexican meal, and by-pass the crowds at the boarder during rush hour. Couldn't find a Mexican Resturant anywhere so we went Chinese. We were hungry and ordered the Sea Food Supreme for three. The waitress pointed out that we only had two, and we said that's alright... bring it!! They filled up two tables with all the different dishes. Didn't know what some of the dishes were and really didn't want to... Anyway the bill came to 75Pesos. About $7.50 US!! I gave the waitress a 100peso bill and said keep the change.....

    WHAT?? No takers yet... I thought someone would be jumping all over this... All kidding aside Kevin... Great Job.. Maybe you could give us an idea of the parts and cost you have in the mod...??

    You can never have enough filters. Tandems are OK.... The screw in would be the first line of defense, and probably easier to get to...

    You mean the guy with all the signing pens in his pocket?? I don't think anyone knew who he was, bu he did attract attention.... I always thought the idea was to buy low and sell high on any investment... not the other way around... On some of those prices they may be figuring that the dollar will be worthless in a few years??, so buy tangibles... But at the price they're paying it's going to be a long time untill they're not upside down. I can understand a big dog always wanting a rare car and going for it no matter what the price, but multiple purchases of mega priced vehicles that could be reproduced for a third of the selling price, makes me think there's something else going on we don't know about..... Insider trading....GAK!! Yep, you're right. That's why I'm looking forward to viewing the rest of Sat. and Sun... One thing that was new this year was the Saturday 30 car run at 7pm Sat evening. It might have been a very smart move on BJ's part. Bunch all the high end stuff together at one time for the BD's convience. Rather than keep them sitting for hours on end waiting for the cream of the crop to hit the stage.. Sunday may not be as pricey as in the past. I bet in 2010 you didn't see anywhere near the mill plus' that there have been so far. I remember maybe a bus or a Bugbati hitting a mill but nothing like this year. I've been faithfully watching all the BJ auctions, and remember the days when we saw ALL the cars come across the block. Now with all the success the show is getting more sophisticated....with more personal, charity, glitzy side features, and... advertising.... I really enjoyed the 'old days', but time marches on and I'm really glad technology has kept up with the pace with fast forward...

    Maybe it's a West Coast clock???

    I recorded all the action last week, and now I'm finally getting around to watching the auction. Nice thing is, when recorded, I can fast-forward thru all the advertisements... and a lot of the auctions too. Seen one Camero Rat you've seen them all.... and there are always a bunch. One thing I noticed immediately on the first day the bid prices were up a bit from the past, and not as many 'wish-I-was-there-buys'. When i got into day two it seemed to me that car prices had doubled. Friday was even worse, and I just watched the first half of Saturday and started thinking... Wow!! only $85,000... what a steal.... A Shelbie GT350 ruster went for $350,000, and was lost among a bunch of 1.0-2.6 million bids. You gotta be kidding me.... Add the buyers premium and tax and those 2.5's add up to three very large..!! I remember when the place would erupt when a rare bid hit a mill. I'm wondering what these folks know that the common folks don't.. Sure they all have museums, and I suppose there's a way to write off the purchase, but I can't believe the IRS is going to buy into some of the prices. Anyway it's got me befuzzled. I saw one old 110 year old geezer buy 3 or 4 cars for 1 million plus... I bet he lost his drivers license 30 years ago... Anyway it's been interesting so far. Saturday night and Sunday are still in the can.... and can hardy wait....

    Those are really cool. First time I'd seen them was when Ponch wired up my tach in Cody... Couldn't remember what they were called. Thanks for the link.....

    I've never heard of anything like that. The clock is quartz controlled and they either work of they don't. Are you sure it's not in stopwatch mode??
  24. Condor
    Dropped into your profile to see some pics, and couldn't find any. Have any laying around??
