    Just out of curiosity - Airplane Guys

    I was stationed at RAF Lakenheath in England when I saw my first F-16. It flew in from Hill AFB Utah. It was 1979.

    WTF pictures

    When I was stationed at Hahn AB Germany, Victor Alert was in our squadron's area. 10th TFS was the nearest to the east end of the runway. We knew if the shit hit the fan, we were the closest air base to the commies. I did a few months in Victor Alert.

    My first car

    My first car was shared with my older sister. A '64 VW Type 3 Notchback. A model not imported to the US. I ended up overhauling that pancake boxer engine. Had a shop do the shortblock and the flywheel. I assembled it from there. My next car was a '59 bug with the original 1200 cc 36 hp engine...

    What have you done to your XS today?

    Yesterday, I took my rear wheel to Cycle Gear because a nail had found its way inside the tire. It was "Black Friday Sale", so I was hoping for a price break. Nope. That was not on sale. The new tire label said "No repairs possible". Since it was the same tire I had on already, I bit the bullet...

    For Sale - Need ignition

    I've had both, the PAMCO and the GN250 ignition(AKA GONZO). Pamco isn't made anymore, so if it dies there is no more, other than the repo one sold. The GONZO is not expensive and if your XS 650 is an '80 or later you have 1/2 of the system already. Even earlier models can be modded to fit the...
