Perhaps the 277° is closer to the ideal cross-plane than we realize?

You know what I'm talkin' about. You go to Tech and find a ten yr old thread on what you want to know, but all the pics have that damn Photobucket watermark on 'em... :banghead: Well, there's an easy way to get a clean look at the pic: just right click on it and select "Open image in New Tab"...

So... I'm one of the worst when it comes to not raising the side stand before riding off. When the bike makers decided to add safety features to the side stand, well... there was a poster of me on the wall. :redface: Had a bike once spit me off the right side when it somehow dug in on my first...

Every day.... every fuckin' day. If they'd just give the postage they're throwin' away I could buy a new Royal Enfield Continental or sumpin...

Is anyone else having trouble accessing their old threads? I click on "Find all threads by Jim" and get an error message. Been that way all day.

I've spoken to a buddy several times about starting a discussion on her journeys but never pulled the trigger. So... here we are. Noraly's in western Africa and the rainy season is just kicking off. How much longer can she go? There's gonna come a point where it's too muddy. Her video last...

About 30yrs ago a buddy of mine had this Hobart/Craftsman MIG welder that he couldn't get to work. He'd bought it new a few yrs earlier and all it would do is pop and sputter, so it just forlornly sat in a corner of his garage. One day he jus' up and gave it to me. The fix was easy enough, he'd...

How's dat for a nice simple title? :er: I retired a while back... 'k... more than a while... Air Force. Airlines. Teaching.... put a fork in me. Sue is retiring at the end of this year and our plan (from the last 30 yrs) has always been to travel once we're retired. Not air travel mind you...

Sue just recently upgraded to a new phone, so I figured I'd take her old one and have it dedicated to my bike for a navigator/map display. Cleaned her phone, installed Waze.... so far so good. Just walking outside had the map operating as it should. And here's where it went off the rails..er...

One of the in-laws gave me a Harbor Freight gift card for Christmas. I'd actually forgot about it. I was in the process of making a wheel balance/trueing stand when I remembered it. HF is only a 5 min drive from here, so off I go. It's advertised only as a balancing stand. 50 bucks out the...

Hey Joe.... welcome to "Burrowhead." :laugh2:

David Crosby passed away today. I grew up listening to CSN&Y. They're still easy on the ears today. Farewell David.

Love him or hate him.... he's a tough ol' sumbich.

A new thread dealing with anything outer space. Thursday... Thanksgiving, is the release of Good Night Oppy. A documentary that tells the tale of Mars rover Opportunity. Built to last 90 days, she soldiered on for almost 15 yrs. This is her story. It gets 85 rotten tomatoes. Here's the trailer.

Smith didn’t like being told what to do and valued his independence, said Dave Newman, who met the attorney through an American Legion post in Old Town where they were both members. “He thought everybody should have their own choice,” Newman said. In 2000, Smith’s aspiration was realized when...

Go ahead with your jokes... projects and holes in the head an' all that... I can take it. :cautious: Anyway... it was advertised as a '74 RD 350, complete with extra motor, sitting in baskets on two pallets. Your classic "basket case," for 500 bucks.... right up my alley. :er: Offered 400 sight...

What the title sez.... diaphragm springs (2 of 'em) for Mikuni BS-34 carbs. I'm bringing a set back from the grave. The springs are the only major pieces I'm missing. Thanks.
