This reminds me of the car that Holman Moody built way back when. They were big into Nascar cars and engines back in the day. They installed a small diesel in a Mercury Capri (Mustang) and claimed it got 75 mpg. They tried to market it but by the time the EPA got through with them, they gave up on the idea.

Check with the companies that sell windshields and see what they have for your bike. National Cycle, Cee Bailey, and many others

Nah, I like my big ole comfy 4,300 lb Dodge Magnum with a 350hp Hemi engine!

Bike year? Model?

I think there is a risk of gasoline washing the oil off the cylinder if it isn't firing and may cause additional wear.

If you decide to ride again in the future, you don't need an 800lb bike to do it with. Thanks to someone posting this web site, we can read about and see a guy ride his little Honda C90 all over the world getting 110 mpg! http://c90adventures.co.uk/

There is a 3 hour documentary on Showtime now about the Eagles! Just watched it! Fantastic show about an incredible band!!

So, how many actually will get the tires? I still suspect they got the prices wrong and had to do something to keep from losing money.

I worked at one of those for a while part time when I was in school. Filled up with gas, cleaned the windshield, and checked the oil and battery. Those days are gone forever.

I didn't like history either when I was young but am really fascinated by it now, especially the history of the USA. It's an incredible story. And the Midway battle was one of the most amazing battles in history. The Japanese had everything going for them but breaking their code and catching the decks of their carriers loaded with planes that had bombs did them in. The courage demonstrated by our Navy was incredible. Midway is one of my favorite movies too.

Old Faithful the geyser and the old magnificent Inn built in the early 1900s is not that far from the western entrance. It was 1975 when I drove there around the first of June. It was still very cold with snow piled up to about 8' high on the side of some roads. The Ranger at the eastern entrance asked me if I had snow chains when I arrived. I didn't but he said I could probably make it ok without them in my 70 Mustang. We drove around the north side about 60 miles if memory serves to get to Old Faithful. I wanted to leave by the southern exit and go through Jackson Hole but the road from Old Faithful to the southern exit was not plowed during the winter and was still blocked by snow. So, I would have had to drive about 80 miles back around the north side and east side of the park to get to the southern exit. So, instead we left the western exit and drove about 135 miles total to Idaho Falls to spend the night. That was over 40 years ago so things may have changed a bit since then. Oh, as we were driving south towards the Grand Canyon the next morning, I heard on the radio that the park was closed due to a snow storm! Early June!

Either sold out or they figured out the correct price!!

Yesterday I went to the retiree/oldtimers luncheon for the plant I used to work at and I spied this sign hanging on the wall.

Wow! They are cheap!

If they insist on revealing who won, you'd definitely have to move to a secure location and maybe even hire a body guard if the win is unusually large. If your kids are young and you give them a lot of money, you may kill their incentive to do anything productive with their lives. Winning would not be all good. Or you could live like Beyonce and husband JayZ. They don't own a home. They live in hotel suites, LA in the winter, NYC in the summer, or Paris when they feel like it. My son records Bey and he goes with them most of the time. He records her wherever she is, even in hotel rooms because she is almost always working on a new material.

I'd probably use that tire. They wear out quickly anyway if you ride much.

Unless she's buttering you up for something???

I feel for you guys in the north. I spent 2 winters in Nebraska, one in IL, two in upper WI, one in OH, one in NY on Lake Ontario, and one in PA while working temp contracts. The winter here at home on the southern coast of NC is unusually warm with the temp up to 60 today.

It would be fun watching robot ridden bikes competing against human riders just to see the humans intentionally wreck the robot controlled bikes:big-grin-emoticon:

Nah, the riding season is too short.

That is the best lottery of all to win:173:

There are so many huge Americans now that you never know about that!

My annual physical is scheduled for Jan 25. The PA who examined me last year pursued other employment and I found out yesterday that my appt is with a lady doctor. We'll see how that goes.

Only auto I've thought of recently that I would like to buy is that 2007 Corvette Z06 with 427 cu in 505 hp, 3,147lbs. with only 5,800 miles on it that my son thought about buying. He bought the new GT Mustang instead for less money. But, I'm retired. I can't rationalize spending $39k on anything that frivolous.

Not about me! Both my bikes are worth less than the tires on just the truck!
