    Table Saws

    Search Crazedlist within driving distance and be patient. You can find a nice Delta Unisaw, Rockwell, or a Powermatic for around $600 to $800. I would avoid the 3 phase, but that can be overcome with a motor change or an inexpensive digital phase converter. Still, stick to the single phase if at...

    Gold

    The financial world is going to Hell in a handbasket and yet gold stays down. WTF is with that? Well the unregulated Hedges had their greasy hands in everything and they messed this market up also (along with oil.) We are not seeing the massive end of day selling now - thinks are getting calmer...

    Passing Multiple Cars

    Yeah, I missed his clues. I was in a hurry to get to Lafayette for a XXX-Cheese"Steak" near Purdue from Muncie, then to get home by dark. I got into a rhythm in passing cars as I got to them. And I almost screwed the pooch. Lesson Learnt.

    Passing Multiple Cars

    The very high differential speed is a concern. I like to blow by the cages. But if one of the guys up towards the front of a several car line (less likely to see you) gets stupid and pulls out you are boned at high speeds. With just 1 or 2 cars speed would rule. Bright lights blaring, horn...

    Passing Multiple Cars

    Would one of our resident experts please clarify the proper procedure for passing multiple cars? Yesterday on a IN 26 (2 lanes) I attempted to pass 2 cars. Just when I got up to the rear left passenger door on the rear car he pulls out to pass. He had missed the 2 previous opportunities to...

    Vffr Squid

    I knew a guy that put a Toyota engine in the Simplicity tractor. Had 3 speeds in reverse and 1 in forward, but it had plenty of power. It about threw him over the hood on the first run. True story. Arnie Hedlof, funny guy. Yeah, I think the kid was fulla ****.

    I forgot to mention that he said he had a turbo and some other work done, but I didn't look too closely.

    Vffr Squid

    I met a young squid that had a well beaten '02 VFR at the local bank. I said nice bike, and I thought my old man's bike could keep up on the highway. He said no way - he has had the bike up to 186 mph. Well I couldn't top that so we parted ways. I am no squid at 53, but are these things really...

    Mom: "Motorcycle killed my son"

    It is a wonder any of us survive our youth. Tragic loss. People don't understand kinetic energy until they get slapped around a bit. Hopefully, they survive those lessons. The machines are dangerous, can't argue with that. If they want more stringent training and testing for all drivers I say...

    Master Yoda Riding Position questions

    While the hands-off approach may be good for your forearm recovery, it is kinda dangerous. Turning your head to one side for a couple of seconds can have catastrophic results. I tried this on Rt66 near Beantown, IL and I looked over to wave at another biker on the paralled HWY 57. I ran off the...
