That appears to be circa 1937 Rudge Ulster.

"Marijuana has caused a lot of controversy the past few weeks after it has been legalized in Colorado and Washington. There have been 59 reported deaths in both states due to marijuana overdoses. FBI agent Ronald McGuire says “I know mary jane is some good sh*t but you have to learn to control it”. It is not yet known how much marijuana the individuals consumed. Reporters are telling us that most of the individuals who died were cremated and had so much marijuana in there system that funeral home workers and crematorium workers were all “Blazed as f*” while the cremations were happening and even reported to be high even after 5 days. Reporters are also saying that the families of the deceased also smoked their ashes and got “extremely high” and the ashes are now being classified as a type of marijuana called “Super OG death grip k*sh” and can only be found in the ashes of people who died on marijuana overdoses. The names of the 59 victims, ranging from 14-58 years of age, have not been revealed and will most likely not be revealed. Colorado and Washington are also considering making marijuana illegal now because of the deaths." http://huzlers.com/59-people-die-of-marijuana-overdose-in-colorado-and-washington/

I was referring to the Coca-Cola "America the Beautiful" commercial...in babel.

That's what happens when you drink Coca-Cola!

While I can't say what chaps were originally intended to protect the rider from, wind, weather or road rash, I can say that both of us praise our chaps for protecting us when we were sliding down the highway last August. Deb's chaps had holes where the pavement abraded the leather clean through, yet her jeans and skin were untouched. My chaps were severely abraded at the knee, hip and thigh, yet I suffered no skin damage. We have replaced our leather chaps (and leather jackets, gloves, etc) with new leather chaps, because they did an excellent job of protecting us in a crash. ATGATT for us (before and after).

Much newer than most of the previous motorcycles in this thread, so some of you may have even seen one. Pretty rare, though.

Definitely a Henderson side valve. Model K. Circa 1925? Has some similarities to the Henderson KJ (chain guard, front end) that was introduced in 1929, but engine is a Model K.

Here's any easy one:

Mercier 1937 Moto Chenille 350cc

While the pictured bike is a Lilac (Marusho) with the transverse V-twin, I believe the first motorcycle to use that longitudinal V-twin was the Indian 841 (c.1940). It was intended for the US Army. It had shaft drive, too.

That is a Marusho MF-39 Lilac with a 288cc V-twin and shaft drive. Circa 1960.

Sorry for your demise. Debbie always laughs at my demises as well. The best protection while performing a "face plant" is a full face helmet. ATGATT.

I thought so, too. Then I did it a couple times more and it become much less anal. Like I said in the OP.....get your co-rider to do it...after proper training, of course.

Perhaps "HP dropping Windows8" is hyperbole, but they DO seem to be pushing Win7 over Win8: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2089403/ouch-hp-brings-windows-7-back-by-popular-demand.html http://techcrunch.com/2014/01/20/parsing-hps-decision-to-push-windows-7-more-than-a-year-into-the-windows-8-era/

Not a problem...ABS! I would hope!

Happy Birfday, Larry.

Of course, but only the stud mounted on the right handlebar (throttle side) is variable speed. For obvious reasons. And don't forget to apply "Never Seez".

Yep! An Yuasa AGM. But, I would recommend an inline fuse and a relay. Notice these studs also cum with a screw...

I think, for this thread, they could be called SnaggleSTUDS. Eh?

This is what I stuck in the hole:
