    Something for airplane geeks

    Oh Baby! That's sweet!! You need to quit looking at the complicated part of this deal - once you finally get it in the air and start burning Av-gas those thoughts will disappear. I'll be looking for you at Oshkosh ---

    Gen 1 Aux Tank install

    It's obvious you've put some thought and time into your aux tank - if you like it, it's all good! I noticed what looks like vents in your windshield. Did you add them or did the shield come that way?

    Modifications I made to my bike over the winter

    I took the lights and stood at the front of the bike moving them around to find the position that looked the best to me. Then I took some aluminum sheet and formed a shape that would hold the light there and transferred that into stainless. I have a tool called a Beverly Shear that cuts metal...

    Modifications I made to my bike over the winter

    World's greatest Frog

    Woman sits down next to a guy at a bar who has a large frog sitting next to his beer. She inquires what it is and he explains it has been trained to perform oral *** on women. She seems rather skeptical but agrees to allow the frog to show its talent. After she pulls up her skirt he sets the...

    Learning to turn properly

    (IMO) you shouldn't be riding that motorcycle. Start with a small dirt bike - find some off road trails. My fear is I'm going to meet you in my lane some day.

    Beyond Frustration--Mirror Mount Bracket Snapped

    I'd form a piece of 1/8" stainless plate to put it back in place and rivet them together. Use cardboard for a pattern.

    Selling a bike on Craigslist is an interesting adventure

    This is what I put at the bottom of my C/List adds - it seems to weed out the scams for me. "No help is needed to sell this; not interested in any trades. No test pilots, not going to ship it, cash in hand in my driveway when the deal is done, free and clear title. If this add is up this bike...
