Yea they dont know how to make no motor vehicles in Michigan. Geeze I mean heck they would have to train machine tool and die guys, machinists, press operators. Oh wait you guys use to have some of them didnt ya?

The craftsmanship of the bikes was interesting. Some of the design thoughts etc. But the actual bikes? Worthless unless you wanted to make a coffee table or ride the 2 blocks to the local watering hole. A little inside info on those types of shows, gas monkey , those types is they are somewhat subsidized buy the TV show. I also think they over estimated their market/growth. Maybe if they would have started doing some custom baggers instead of just the bar hoppers......... But like a lot of shows I think it just ran its course. I would much rather them have renewed "Whats in the Barn.

Sounds like your military retirement is way better than ours. Still I am fortunate to have served with the guys and gals I did. Was good life. Certainly not anywhere the retirement pay your looking at.

Sooo how ugly is this car? 2016 camaro proto type

I dont recall ever naming one. Seems their names change from day to day depending on how they treat me. LOL

I thought you had found something amiss there at the restaurant. Poor gas will do it. Especially now with the alcohol added, if it has a bit more moisture it dont burn good. I have been sort of cheating on the Vic. I think it calls for hi test, but I have been experimenting with mid grade a bit to see if it makes a difference. Guess I really need to read the owners manual on this thing for stuff like that and getting radio presets done. LOL I put some dates over in the meet and great thread we had.

Good to hear all got back. Capt D: you had asked me a couple reasons I made the switch. You had asked brakes and I said not really. Then the more I thought about it, brakes were a big consideration. I wanted something with ABS. I liked the looks of the Victory, classic, but with some edge to it, sort of swoopy I guess. Reach for my shorter leg span. Fuel injection, no sync carbs anymore. We sort of discussed a meet @ Daytona during bike week. That date is March 4 thru 13th. The weekend of the 12th-13th is open for us, the previous week we have commitment. Another date we might want to pencil in would be Leesburg which is April 22-24

It was good chow. No hot dogs though. Had had Brisket sandwich.

WOW Looks like the guys with heated seats and grips get to use them on the trip.

They let Me and Brake Pad and Barrycuda stay

OK managed to find one.

I will try to remember when I get on the desk top to post some pics. Its been quite a while now since I did it, but paint still looks pretty dang good. The finish is sort of a dull bumpy thing. but my son had the sealer stuff they also sell and it makes it a little less dull.

Steve, we understand man. Hoping all goes great for her. Those I know that have had it say its a new lease on life.

OK so your just coming down Sat day of meet?

M61A1MECH:you going to head down? Tom how about you? You camping out at the Hammocks? Aslo folks heads up. This weekend is the US Sport aviation weekend out at the airport. So will be kind of busy around town. But if you like airplanes you could go and check them out.

I presume you are talking vent hose for fuel tank at neck? It may have a check valve in it, which is only going to allow air flow into the tank. The cap should vent, but to make sure you are getting flow thru the little tube I would open the cap as you may not be able to over come the relief of the cap.

We were saying the same thing tonight. This has been a rough start to the year. What is that like 6 or 7

Well if I had one of them old timey looking Triumphs might look into it. For now just blast'em with LED's. LOL Cool idea though. I remember going from a standard bike to a frame mounted fairing. One thing i had to get use to was the headlight did not move when cornering like it did when headlight was mounted on forks.

I was thinking it was this month. But I have occasionally gottin trouble for thinkin too.

Question. The date is the 23. But somewhere I lost what month? I recall something about a Sat meet. Seems to me Jan 23 is a Sun. Also, should this maybe be moved over to the meet and eat forum?

This is my "new Venture"

That must be in Connecticut. Some of the goofiest roads I think I drove were there. Trees almost in middle of road, Road goes right to edge of huge tree then turns, roundabouts out in the middle of absolutely nowhere for any reason.

I say that a lot around here. Everytime I see one of them high jacked up 4wd with 4 shocks per corner, big tires and wheels and all sorts of chrome stuff under the truck. You got to know that the closest thing to off road they go is when they miss the driveway.
