Sylvester Posted September 20, 2014 Share #1 Posted September 20, 2014 Since my Sylvester is nearing 13 years old I have been thinking of a new bike. I would keep Sylvester for the long rides. http://www.wired.com/2014/09/burly-65k-motorcycle-inspired-fighter-plane/ This looks like it would do nicely.

Mike G in SC Posted September 20, 2014 Share #5 Posted September 20, 2014 Jim, My dad was a WWII Hellcat pilot, off the Essex. The bike cost more than the bird! "By the end of 1942 Grumman had produced ten complete F6Fs: in the next twelve months the Navy accepted 2,547 Hellcats. At its peak, Grumman was producing more than 600 Hellcats a month. Unit cost for the F6F, less government supplied equipment (primarily engine, prop, armament, radio) was initially $50,000, dropping to $35,000 by the end of the production run." 12,272 Hellcats were produced.
