    Knives and other things

    Here is a knife I never carry with me. It is a trade knife that was given to me by my grandmother when I was 7 years old in the mid-1960s. She told me the knife was given to her by an old neighbor when she was a child, maybe in the first decade of the 1900s. My grandma died when I was 13, so I...

    Knives and other things

    I have probably lost as many knives as I have. But there are a few that I’ve had for a long time. One of the first I ever bought was a Swiss Arm Knife to replace my Boy Scout knife. I’ve had this Victorinox Explorer for about 50 years. It is always in my backpack and always at the ready...

    Knives and other things

    Love the pic of your dad with a decidedly Asian fighting stance. Is that some type of Yin-Yang patch on his uniform?

    What have you done to your XS today?

    I,ve been running my tires with 78% nitrogen for years. Not racing, so I don't know if my performance has suffered.

    Tool Box Rehab

    Curiosity was piqued. I assumed Kennedy just made tool boxes. They also have a history of tackle boxes. The T-22, 1117-AL and 1118-AL to mention a few. https://www.antiquefishingtackle.net/vintage-tackle-boxes/vintage-kennedy-tackle-boxes DE, Man Card resignation is refused, I am sure you...

    Tool Box Rehab

    First off, that box MAY hold tools, but it looks ripe for a full set of fishing lures. Bought my first Kennedy box (520) when I was in high school. The snap-on truck pulled up every week or so at the shop I was working at (never bought). And about every couple months a Kennedy rep came by (we...

    Modern bikes. You have one?

    @jetmechmarty Marty, Ouch, don't argue with trucks, it never ends well. Glad to see you were relatively unscathed. @MaxPete Pete, fair assessment of the SV650. I think you would be riding the rubber off that SV IF you didn't have the XS(s). Can't forget your 1st love.

    Modern bikes. You have one?

    98 Guzzi V11. Bit of a mutt. Guzzi's Harley-wannabe. Big-ass Corbin seat looks out of place, but puts me up about another 3''- great for my 6' 4'' frame. Definitely riding "on" the bike, not cruising "in" it. One of those bikes that called out for adoption. And I ended up adapting to a bike I...

    Max Sievert blow torch

    That torches reminded me of my Swedish SVEA camping stove that I've had for 40+ years. Sure enough they share the same roots. Here is a link to the history of the 3 Sievert brothers and their endeavors. https://maxsievert.se/history/

    Guzzi info wanted

    Willis, Marty is right about the Wildguzzi site. If you are coming down for the Garagebrewed show in Cinci, stop by Cadre Cycle in Blue Ash (a Cinci suburb) https://cadrecycle.com/. Enzo Miller is a standup guy and you will always be treated right.
