    V 8

    autopilot replied to Sailor's topic in Watering Hole

    Don't know why not. They put a killer V-6 in the SHO Taurus. Don't recall the displacement, but as I recall it wasn't big. I test drove one with a stick shift. The sales guy made the mistake of saying yes when I asked if I could see what it had.........so I did! It made the neatest honking sound through the intake.....ahhhhhh!

    I would venture (no pun) that mid & longer term currency exchange rates have as much or maybe more to do with it. They are nothing if not firm believers in long term planning. Their corporate instinct doesn't see our economy progressing much long term, evidently. They're also nothing if not pragmatic. If it looks like a duck, smells like a duck, sounds like a duck and it's duck season........they WILL shoot it! Just my humble opinion.

    Just from what I've observed I tend to agree with you. Command decision.....Tour Classic it is! Thanks Pegscraper..

    MY WORD! Talk about two fries short of a Happy Meal!! What planet does this guy live on? "Moronicus Prime?" Any bets on whether the biggest thing he ever slung a leg over was a moped? I read once that a person can breath under water without scuba gear too, if they did it really, really slow! duh! Heck, next year, they'll say that his seat design unfortunately concentrates the radiation and actually accelerates the effects and that we therefore should not use his seat and the levels of radiation were actually much much lower than originally thought, when somebody went behind this rube and checked his MATH. I'm sorry, I just have a really low tolerance for $^&^*$@@(*# WHACKJOB MORONS, particularly when they're simultaneously trying to get into your wallet, while spewing their inane junk like there's all this truth in it. Like everybody else is stupid and will just most certainly believe it, because HE is the authority on the subject. You know.....like politicians!!!

    Right click the pic in the email, click save as; pick a spot and execute. then pic that location when you browse for the upload to the site! If it was an attachment, once displayed in a window on your machine, go through the same sequence. If it was attached as a picture file (.jpg .jpeg), you should be ok. (make sure it fits the file size limit) If it shows an attachment file extension in the file name then I don't know what to tell you....my brain quits at attachments! Hope that didn't confuse things much! autopilot and shame on you for buying it!!!!!!!!

    I appreciate that, Pegscraper. The more I've thought about it, the more I want to know exactly what I have. And it's nice to be able to recognize other bikes accurately. Good luck on the hunt. autopilot

    I got to wondering.. I've seen references here, to the Tour Deluxe, the Tour Classic, The Tour Classic II and one or two others I believe. What were/are the differences between them? My '98 says Tour Deluxe on the title, but Tour Classic on the side of the leather saddlebags. Not a big deal...just curious more than anything!! Thanks autopilot

    If I remember, you can get two in there staggered but not if they're both dressers. I may be off on that. It'll be GREAT for one. If you spot the chock back off the wall a bit, you'll have room for a cabinet up high and room to get around the front of the bike or hanger space or whatever. Definitely have options in any event. Good luck with it. autopilot

    Good job, Roadkill, I had ordered one similar to yours in a Pace. After 4 wks, the guy figured out they botched the order. The guy felt bad and cut me a deal on a used "low-boy" 7 X12 bike hauler. I took advantage and got a couple of addt'l concessions and got the trlr you see in the pic. Woo Hoo right? I was so excited. It had everything I would have ordered if I could have afforded it. It was going to be grand!! I didn't pay a lot of attention to one thing. The ramp! It was open when I looked at the trailer, and they had her all buttoned up and backing me up for hookup when I got back with my truck. What did I miss, you ask? The entire back of the trailer is a great big HARLEY LOGO! :rotf::rotf: So much for being observant!!! autopilot

    Isn't it strange?......These are the same guys that are supposed to be working for YOU (you do pay their wages) OK, we aren't gonna go there, 'cause if I do, I'll stay and never get back! (and I don't think we're allowed anyway.....a good thing!) autopilot

    Nemo, your a baaaddd man. For shame. For shame. I like it!!!!!! Freebird, If you can get them in size "huge" I'll take several. (I guess in a pinch we could send the design file to Omar's Tents) My only request..get a good wide crew neck band (as opposed to a pajama top boat neck lookin thing you see so often) autopilot

    I smoked Marlboro regular for longer than I can remember prior to Feb. 2007. Did a pack or so a day. Started out with Camels and Lucky's in the early '60s so it's been a while. Sometimes being stubborn and stupid will cost ya. The last couple of years, every winter it seems I would get a chest cold and be pretty screwed up breathing-wise for at least a couple of weeks to a month. Well, I have COPD (didn't know that at the time), and I got a little scratchy throat on the weekend of course. Just like that, it was in my chest and I literally could not breathe, even if all I did was get up out of the chair and try to walk to the bathroom. Tried to lay down ...couldn't breathe; couldn't do anything if I wanted to breathe at the same time. I'll be brutally honest with you. It scared the hell out of me. I had many discussions with " The Big Guy" over the course of a day and a half. I "bargained" with God; I told Him, If He could see His way clear to cut me some slack, I would quit smoking and never go back. I told my wife "If I lived (I wasn't entirely sure I would), I was done with cigarettes". I went in to the doctor and they juiced me up with steroids and antibiotics & who knows what else... Well, I recovered, though my breathing still suffers a bit. A small price to pay under the circumstances. But the point of the story is that all that took place in February 2007. February 2, 2007 to be exact......I just passed one year tobacco free, this month. Cold turkey. I could smoke one as big as a broom stick right now, but for the promise I made to the two people, central to my existence. I just don't have it in me to break it. That, and I have a vivid recollection of 2/2/2007. autopilot I know: a lot of wind for a simple story! But, there was a lot of drama (at least for me). Can't help it...Sorry! I'll work on it!

    Pegscraper, For what it's worth, something I do alot to be able to go back directly to a specific page is to right click and make a shortcut on the desktop. I do this mainly if I have an idea that the page or item is probably not going to be something I want to keep and therefore not worthy of cluttering my bookmark/favorites list any more than it already is. (I had to categorize them and put them in folders. Now I have a big list of folders AND a list of individual pages......That's what I get for being an information junkie.) Autopilot
