Went down to watch a couple grandsons play football yesterday.
The
oldest
wanted to see if his feet reach the footpegs yet. That's been the
criteria
for his first ride. Well, now they reach, so all he needs is some
proper
clothing and he's good to go!

SAY WHAT!
Maybe some lessons on how to handle the bike would be nice.
JustWait has a training program going. Includes obscene gestures
for
anyone
under 10.
Who is the 80-year-old old fart on the front of that bike? If that
is
herring, he surely has aged a lot - and badly - since I last saw
him.
He for being well into his 60's I'd say he'd doing pretty good.
and I really don't know, but i would imagine that if he wanted he
could "drop and give 30" fairly easily.
Probably not. I hate pushups. My arms are long, which makes them
harder
to
do. I could never do one pullup, which kept me out of Airborne school.
Most
arm spans are within an inch of a person's height. My arm span is five
inches longer than my height. Makes buying long sleeved shirts a
bitch.

Pfffff..I could do over 70 real strict pushups.
Once in community college, a group of classmates bet me I couldn't do
one
handed pushups... I was on number 15 when one of the guys jumped on my
back.
I collected of course. I also liked doing headstand pushups, although I
usually needed a wall or something to keep my balance.- Hide quoted

Come on, that's almost believable. If you want to be like your lover/
clone Harry, you need to come up with more far fetched lies than that!
Try at least doubling the numbers.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------**------------------------
Ah LoogieToons........ if I wanted to lie, I would come up with double the
numbers.
I feel no need to exagerate or try to impress here, it's unlikely I'll run
into any of you. (except for the odd excursion into the backwoods of
Maine)- Hide quoted text -

Please explain that concept to your buddy Harry.

Harry has to live done there with y'all.


I figure one of these days Loogy will get so ****ed he'll drive up to
Acelaville and bust down my front door.- Hide quoted text -

****ed at WHAT? Hell, I find it fun that you are such a narcissist and
not comfortable with what you have that you feel the need to lie about
every aspect of your life. Does your wife know that you are ashamed of
her profession so you created a lie about her? What would your father
think if he knew of all the lies you've created about him to boost
your sad ego?

John, in the not too distant past, I had thought of reviving either my
Ambi or Eldo engine and getting some small boat or craft and coupling
it to a jet ski pump. But at full throttle at possibly 40 mph I
figured the engine would over heat, so Then I thought that I'd need to
build some type of cooling shroud around the cylinders . Well, Not
having the time for such I abandoned the idea. however I have seen
guzzi engines used on small experimental air planes.

Come to think of it, I believe that Guzzi made a V-twin specifically
for actual use small air craft, but don't hold me to it.

Nice bike,
I just got back into riding last spring, with the gas prices going thru
the roof I had to.
Mines a '93 BMW airhead R/100/GS Dualsport, Its good for taking up
logging roads, and on the highway, but not true offroading. I've put
5000 miles on it since I bought it last April. UD

In a way those big beemer off-roaders remind me of this:

http://www.motorcycle.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8060

I rememebr when Larry Burquist pulled this off, but the sportster was
plagued with problems.

I ahd heard that tee team was so disgusted with the bike that they
took a backhoe and dug a pit in the desert and buried it. Then some
time later somebody found the burial site, dug it up and restored it.

Besides engine trouble it was a suspension nightmare not counting all
that weight thrashing around in the desert.

But where it actually shined was doing well over 100.mph in the
straight passages.

Still it couldn't take it.

They should have used a BMW.

?;^)

You know I actually saw an early Buell Dualsport set up with a sportster
883? awhile back, I had looked at them before I made the decision to
go with BMW, and I was under the impression they we're all fitted with
Rotax motors, I guess they made a few with the sporty motor.
The biggest factor in going with the Beemer was the driveshaft, I just
had enough of fixing broken master links, and adjusting chains. UD

They did. They made it for a unmanned aerial vehicle for the Israeli's,
and the US Army tested some also..

Look at the paragraph under the title 'Hunter RQ-5A Air Vehicle'.

You missed your calling. Michael Phelps is built the same way.

Very nice, Dan!

I've always like the boxer BMW's. If my Guzzi ever failed, I'd give them a
close look. I'd probably end up going with a Honda ST1300 though, just
'cause there are so many Honda dealers around. (And the ST1300 is a hell of
a sport touring machine.) http://tinyurl.com/439mxf
