  4. I liked his better too, there are Irish flags in front of the building and a small banner to the left, I thought it was extremely lame for an Irish pub.
  5. The guy is going to let us service it change the oil, plugs, gas and see if it will fire. Has good compression and turns over. Got him down to 4K if it runs less if it does not.
  6. Here are the pics:
  7. That's the way to use your imagination. This was all I could get:
  8. Prayers and condolences to all of you
  9. One more day to get the new target supposed to be a great day for St. Me's day. Should be able to at least find a parade. Reminder of what the target is: A pic of you and your bike and some St Patrick's Day decoration.
  10. Turns out it is a 71 not a 70, paint on tank a little faded all the rubber looks brand new 6,000 miles one owner belongs to a coworker of my brothers it is in his moms house. Will post pics soon. I need to go back and see if it is a 4 or 5 speed. I am thinking about offering 3,000.
  11. Wishing you the best and a speedy recovery.
  12. Need some advice I have an opportunity to buy a ’70 BSA Rocket 3 750 triple for $5K. Been in dry storage covered for 30+ years. One owner. Has racing wheels and tires w/ original tires and wheels in boxes that go w/ it. Copper color, looking at it today to determine condition and will post pics. If it is in good condition would it be worth 5K? I know nothing about BSA.
  13. My condolences to you and your family, will keep you and your in my prayers.
  14. Glad to hear your daughter is going to be ok. I hope and pray all goes well.

  17. I was stationed at Chanute when I went through weather maint school. I think it was there then and the ECM module was still in it, great plane. Also seen this one at Warner Robbins last year
  18. Rode yesterday and today really enjoyed the 70 degree weather.
  19. It sure is and here is the write up on it. I hit the small airports then just threw in the AFB pics for the heck of it. C-121 "Constellation" The C-121 "Constellation" is the military version of the like-named commercial transport. During World War II, the Army Air Force purchased 22 early-model "Connies," designated C-69. Between 1948 and 1955, the U.S. Air Force ordered 150 C-121s for use as cargo and passenger carriers, executive transports, and airborne early warning aircraft. From September 1955 to February 1963, the Lockheed Constellation operated from Joint Base Charleston with the 1608th Air Transport Wing. In fact, the 1608th was the only Military Air Transport Service (MATS) unit to fly the 32 C-models built. While assigned to Charleston AFB, the C-models or "Super Connies" could carry 106 passengers, 40,000 pounds of cargo, or 75 stretchers. The C-121's most notable achievements while at Charleston was the airlift of Hungarian refugees to the U.S. and the airlift of U.S. military troops to the Suez Canal, the Congo, and Lebanon. The aircraft eventually was retired from active service in 1967 and transferred to the Reserve and Air National Guard units. By 1975, all C-121s had left military service. The successful restoration and display of the C-47 in 1982 sparked the base to attempt to acquire other aircraft flown at Joint Base Charleston. The "bone yard" at Davis-Montham AFB, Arizona, had four C-121Cs in storage, and by 1985, the USAF Museum had approved the base's loan request for one of these aircraft. After borrowing various components and parts, a team of active duty, Reservists, and retirees restored the aircraft now on display to flyable status in only 13 days. The costs for the entire team was less than $6,000. A crew, once qualified in C-121s, had been assembled from different bases. The flight to Joint Base Charleston on June 10, 1985, in a sense, reenacted the aircraft's first appearance 30 years earlier. Specifications Span: 123 ft Length: 116 ft 2 in Height: 24 ft 9 in Weight: 133,000 lbs maximum Armament: None Engines: 4 Wright R-3350s of 3,400 hp each Cost: $2,647,000 Serial #: 54-0180 Performance Maximum Speed: 330 mph Cruising Speed: 255 mph Range: 4,000 miles Service Ceiling: 33,600 ft
  20. Sounds good to me. I like the pic. I saw a mailbox welded to a tractor today but figured that was backwards. happy St Me Day.

  22. I don't know what I did or said but both the defense and prosecutor said I was too much of a smart alec to be a juror and I actually wanted to serve.
