Cute.

It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas. Nice job, I like it.

PM'd

I like everything except the SRT8 badge on the side.

Ok...I'll ask...what's up with the manikin?

Van Halen(with Hagar) or AC/DC(with Johnson) not the original members but still rocked.

There is another Futureliner model in the works that I am aware of. He's been working on it for quite awhile and is much farther along than your version. I believe he planned on offering it as a kit in the same price range the last I heard. Just throwing it out there so you know. Not sure how the market would bare 2 Futureliners.

I just saw Foreigner, Styx, REO Speedwagon, Don Felder...I had a lot fun. the music was good even though some of the original guys were no longer with the bands. Good entertainment. If I want to listen to the originals I just spin up some vinyl.

Ironic how a funny man can make so many people happy and be so unhappy on the inside.

I like that color scheme.

Nice job on that salty dog!

Nice job...vintage F1 is the best!

Cool, I love the oddball can am cars.

Interesting build. It all seems to come together nicely. It like it better than the real 'poor' mans Porsche.

If we all drove the same car it would not really be embarrassing would it? The car, for some people, is an expression of their personality. Others view it as just a mode of transportation a tool as such to make ones travel easier. I don't judge people by what cars they drive. I make those opinions after I have met them.

Not really. I suspect there have been more issues with FDA 'approved' beef than any wild harvested game and I try the best I can to incorporate safe handling practices throughout the process. Yes we will all die no matter what we eat. I just prefer to feel good physically before that time comes and healthy diet is just one the areas I like to control that effects my well being.

I eat venison. 2-3 deer harvested during hunting season will last us all year. Some we process into polish sausage, brats or dogs at the local butcher. I can't remember the last time I ate fast food burgers...I just stay clear of that stuff. I supplement the venison with pheasants, grouse, and wild turkey. It's not for everyone but I know where it comes from. People complain about food quality and issues in the fast food industry but rarely does anyone change their habits, most continue to complain and keep frequenting these restaurants.

I just installed a Shimano Dyno hub and Schmidt Edelux 2 headlight on my Handsome. This set will allow my to ride all night long...no batteries to recharge. It puts out an incredible amount of light off of 3 watts. The drag created by the hub is minimal and you don't even notice it. Japanese and German engineering at it's finest....the axis powers can sure make some neat bike parts. This will be handy later this summer when I ride in the Powderhorn 24. 24 hour bike race in Minneapolis.

i'd like to join this build..will post post some pics soon Manufacturer: Maserati Model: Birdcage 1960 Nurburgring 1000 kilometer Gurney/Moss 1st place FIA Classification: Division 3 Base Kit: Scale Aardvark Models Scale: 1/24th

I think that was caused by one of those Minnesota earthquakes...I cannot confirm or deny.

I have a those as well...when I like to stir up the neighbors I fire them up.

This is my all arounder...Handsome bicycle in Mpls makes this one. I have added the 'bling'. This bike puts me in a much more upright position. It is comfortable and this seat works well for that positioning. I ride this on around town as it is 7 speed. The Lemond is my dedicated road bike. Currently, it weighs in at 16.9 lbs. I can do 100 mile rides on this bike and it is very comfortable...because the bike has been fitted. It is a steel framed bike and absorbs road vibration very well...we call it compliant. The Origin 8 is my single speed leg grinder. I bought it at a garage sale for $150. No speeds ..so you really have to mash the pedals to get up hills. There a very noticeable differences in ride quality on different frame materials. Steel is very forgiving, the aluminum framed bikes I have ridden are very harsh, carbon fiber is very stiff but they can vary the thickness of the tubing to create compliant frames.

The weight on your arms is alleviated from your core muscle group. You'll find that if you carry the weight forward your shoulders and back will become fatigued. A slight bend in your arms at the elbows when riding a road bike is paramount to cycling longer distances and absorbing some of the road 'shock'. I run 120 to 150 lbs in the tyres and even a short ride you will 'feel' the road. You don't have to be doing jumps, etc. Letting some air out of your tyres will also lessen the harshness of a ride. Andy, your spot on the type of bike. 3 speeds are great for townies, commuter bikes. Probably can find them on the cheap as well. Ray, I suspect that if you stick with it and ride daily , if it permits you will eventually be riding longer distance. Your legs will become stronger, your stamina will increase, as well as a host of other health benefits. The farther you ride the more you will notice little things like seat height, positioning, saddle fore/aft positioning. It will be at that point you will see the shortcomings a $15 bike. But find one you like to ride and ride the wheels off it! I applaud you for making the first step...err pedal. “Give a man a fish and feed him for a day.

I have ridden over 1200 miles since January. As has been pointed out it is near impossible to make a recommendation. I have 5 different bikes for different types of riding, road, mountain, winter bike, single speed fixie,and all around towner. I would suggest going to a bike shop and get fitted properly as this will enhance your riding experience...ie comfortable. All LBS that I know will let you demo bikes. Big squishy seats does not equate to comfort. I have a bike that has a Brooks saddle...basically a formed piece of leather...it has no padding but has some give sort of like a hammock...it is one of the most comfortable seats I own. You want to find a saddle that fits your sit bones and we are all different. It takes a while to find a good seat. I buy them ride a few 100 miles(a good bike shop will also let you demo seats) on them to see how the really feel. You don't find out by riding around the block...it is process. Much like the type of bike you are going to feel comfortable on. Have fun....it's a great way to get exercise and its easy on the joints. It may become addictive...much like model cars its hard to buy just one.

This whole ordeal started in February. It is unacceptable service. 1 screw up perhaps..but to send the same BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH part 2 times. Learn how to read the PO and perhaps English.
