The future of electricity is in Thorium Molten Salt reactors. They produce almost no waste, can burn the waste of our current reactors, and cannot melt down. If we could just get the NRC to work with the scientists and companies wishing to build the things.

Thank you, sir. I lost a very dear friend last year, and have had trouble writing since (not to mention we're in the process of selling/buying/moving). Once we're in our new home, I hope I can get back to it. As for the name, I admit, I stole it from the movie "Eddie and the Cruisers."

Writer here... it pays as well as being jobless, but it sounds cool. :lmao:

I'm a writer. Swiped the name from Eddie and the Cruisers.

Look at your insurance policy, you may find that a key is necessary.

I would use a good grade of Gorilla Hair, followed by a good grade of body plastic to finish it up. Lead is great, but if you don't know what you're doing, it can allow rust to form underneath it.

Stahlwille makes good stuff.

Bad Idea. Without being able to regulate the amount of braking going to the back (as compared to the front), you will one day lock the real wheel and go down in a turn. Yes, manufacturers like Moto Guzzi have been linking brakes for a long time, but they are properly proportioned to avoid...

Tell more on the Ducati slave!

I believe the Mike's are Chinese knock-offs.

Special tank, Special seat, Special cast wheels (rear 16", front 19"), high bars, etc.

Take lots of photos. Take photos of everything before and as you disassemble it. Put all bolts back in their corresponding holes, or bag them and attach them to the part they go with. Loud pipes do not save lives. They annoy the people around you and make it hard for you to hear what's going...

Dunno what the one on the left is, but I believe the one on the right is a Triumph 500 Daytona.

I'm looking for a two down low and staggered. I'm guessing I'll have to make something.

Thinking aloud for a future project... Does anyone make a 2 into 2 where both pipes exit on the same side (à la Harley)? Thanks! Bill
