As far as any kind of decals,tires,sponsor,window numbers,parachute(safety) decals,there’s no better on-line company than Slixx decals.Great stuff,check them out.And they have great service,and very fast delivery.Plus their decals last for years,not like so many other decals,that just disintegrate the moment you put them in water.For larger scale decals,RC Parma decals are great.

I saw this pick on line.It’s a picture of a neighbors cat as the guy peered out his window and saw the cat on his neighbor’s terrace looking right back at him.And I just thought the cat looked a lot like one of my cats that i recently posted.

Oh man i gotta give an honorable mention to a few more great songs I forgot about.First one is Alice in Chains,”[The]..Rooster”,and then Iron Maiden’s “The Trooper”,followed by Kiss’s “She”,& “Parasite”.It’s funny,I don’t recall anybody mention any of Kiss’s songs.Great band,saw them twice.

I know this is an old [thread],subject,but yesterday I saw a kind of crazy intense sort of (sexually twisted)1971 movie that i had to mention.It was called “The Beguiled”.Maybe some of you guys saw it,but if not,check it out.It stars Clint Eastwood and Geraldine Page in a tense psychological drama of love and betrayal. During the Civil War a wounded Union soldier is sheltered by the headmistress and students of a girls' academy in the South. As his health returns his desire increases, but can he trust these enemy women not to turn him in? He takes his chances but soon realizes that his benefactress can't be trusted...with his love or with his life! His lustful ambition turns quickly against him and the story follows him through a series of nerve-shattering events, including realistic scenes that are among the boldest,on film for that year.It was directed by Don Siegel..It’s been described as a sultry bittersweet thriller of hidden passions which is set in one of America's romantic eras.Check it out,and I have to say that IMO,it’s one of Clint Eastwood’s best roles.And i’ve got to add that it surprised the heck out of me as the film went on.??Hmmm?

Oh yea,The Blues Brothers had some great chase scenes in it.My favorite was the chase through the mall.The French Connection chase was also great.And i heard that the movie directors and producers never got permission to even do the chase,with the exception of some scenes.There was also a great chase in To Live and Die in LA,and another (funny) chase in the movie in Short Time.I also found a behind the scenes of the chase in the 7 Ups.Great car chases,all of them.

Yea as far as the case in Pulp Fiction,it was said that Quentin Tarantino wanted to just leave it up to the viewers to make up their own minds up about what was in the suite case.There are so many theories,from it being gold,but that theory really doesn’t make sense,because if it was gold,the case would’ve been a lot heavier.I mean sure when it’s open,there is a sort of gold glow coming from the suite case,but like i said,gold is heavy.Other theories were that it was the diamonds that were stolen in Reservoir Dogs,to even being Marsellus Wallace‘s soul.Idk.again it’s just up to the audience to interpret for ourselves.

Thanks again all.I didn’t really get to ride it too much this year,since the bike was at my buddies shop for so long,and now it’s too dam cold to go riding here in NY.But once the warm weather hits,im gonna get it out and at least do some offroad riding.And it’s strange,I just happen to find a Facebook page specifically for KTM 640 Adventure bikes.I couldn’t believe it.So i’ve been spending a lot of time checking that out.Who would’ve thought that there would be a FB page for these bikes. People posting their bikes,and selling parts.Pretty cool.But again thanks guys for the comments.And yea,i’ve always liked KTMs too.As well as Husky’s,Gas Gas bikes,etc..All the weird but very cool brands.And i also came across this great magazine awhile ago at Barnes and Noble.And of course there’s always Dirtbike magazine.I’ve been reading that since i was a kid.Glad to see it still around.Also found some before pics right after picking it up,along with the decal kit when i first got it.What a nightmare it was putting those on.

Does this count?Believe it or not,shortly after i took this photo,the police arrived.I thought they were going to put it out of its misery,but then the deer got up,slowly,and just trotted off like nothing had happened.

Ok,I do want to watch it too,but i have to say that they should’ve just left it alone.In other words,i really think its a bad idea.But I guess we will wait and see.And for me,as i think i have stated in the past,that IMO,the 7 Ups was a better chase than the Bullitt chase.But both were amazing though.And Bill Hickman,was the best stunt driver to ever get behind the wheel of a car.Thanks for posting the video.?

Huh,Really?Where did you hear or read that?I mean yes,there were some similarities in both films.First was a robbery,the train,(passenger hostages),in Pelham 123,and the diamond store in Reservoir Dogs.Second was that in both films,none of the robbers knew each other,and went by color coded aliases.Eg;Mr.Blue,Mr.Gray,Mr White/Mr.Pink,Mr Blonde,Mr Brown,Mr.Orange,etc.But other than that i fail to see other real concrete similarities in both films,but i could be wrong,lol.All i do know,is that both films were GREAT,and are definitely two of my favorites.Also Pelham 123 did have some pretty humorous over tones to it,thanks to Walter Matthau,and Jerry Stiller.And you gotta love the final scene of [The Taking of Pelham 123]”Gesundheit”,(German spelling,LOL)

I’ve got to add a few horrible remakes.The first being [The Out Of Towners].Then there’s [The In Laws],as well as remake of [The Taking of Pelham 123].And i have to say that all three of these movies were GREAT movies,and never should have been remade.And I gotta go along with Snake on this one,[Assault on Pct 13],was also a pretty bad remake,sorry..I also think the remake of Papillon was pretty lousy too,not horrible,but still pretty crappy..I just hope that if Spielberg is going to do a remake of Bullitt,that there are no dinosaurs (T-Rex)in the film,lol.

Lol,thanks man,ah,i just miss my cats.i guess.I Never thought i would say that.It’s weird,growing up,i could never have a cat because my mother had a extreme phobia against cats.No one knew why,including her.

Ok I agree Bullitt was a little bit slow,but still a great flick.Anything with McQueen was great,up to his last film,The Hunter,[1980],where he plays of all things, a bounty hunter.Which was sort of a black comedy,if you haven’t seen it yet.And oddly enough, IMO,it too had a great chase scene,first beginning on foot,and then ending with a minor car chase,all while he’s chasing a felony bounty jumper..And for someone like me,who just loves a great car chase,The 7Ups,The French Connection,or even The Driver,(Ryan O’Neil),the chase scene in Bullitt was epic.So Spielberg better get it right.Idk I guess we will just have to wait and see.No matter what,it really sucks that we lost Steve McQueen at such a young age of 50,as he was exposed to asbestos while serving in the United States Marine Corps in the late 40s.Who knows how many other great movies he would have made.Although I do have to say that I feel that Steve McQueen’s best movie was Papillon,[1973],alongside Dustin Hoffman..

Well my ex gf and i had four cats.The first one we called Mommy Girl.I never really liked cats too much.She became my cat after a friend of mine came to NY from Florida for a visit,and look for a new job..She wound up staying in my apartment with her cat.The cat was a Calico who was original name was Rory,from i think a character on the Gilmore girls..IDK.However my friend was killed in a car accident when she was hit head on by a drunk driver..Anyway,I guess i sort of adopted Rory.I never had a cat for a pet,just reptiles,like my Iguana which,of course I named Iggy.Ok,jump ahead about three years,and I got a new job,where i met my ex gf.We decided we would get a house together to rent.And certainly Rory moved in with us.Rory was the sweetest cat i’ve ever seen,never hissed at anyone,scratched or anything.We then got another cat from a shelter..I always thought it would be cool to have a black cat.So i adopted a short haired jet black kitten i named Cole.Once Cole was old enough,he and Rory had two kittens,one still born,and another short haired black kitten,that my ex named Casey.She was a runt,and even fully grown,she looked like a kitten.Ok now we had a little cat family.A few years later ,myself,my ex,and my feline family,although small,all moved again.Shortly after Casey was born,i had Cole fixed.Again,jump ahead a bunch of years,my ex and i took in another stray black kitten.They took a little while to get use to each other,but then they were fine.Then my ex and i split up.I took Rory,aka Mommy girl,Cole,and Casey,and she took the stray.However a couple of years later,Cole died suddenly, and to this day,i don’t know why he died so young.I buried him in my parents back yard.He was only about 7,or 8 years old.Then sometime later,Rory got cancer,and i eventually had to put her down.Also very upsetting.Although she was about 18,or 19 years old,so she lived a long happy life.I had her cremated and have an urn with her ashes on my shelf.And then once more,heartbreaking news,Casey got lung cancer,so i had to put her down,and had her cremated.I don’t have any pictures of Cole or Casey,at least none that i can find.Rory was the only one i had pictures of.Although Cole looked a lot like Brian’s cat(above),Blackie,and Casey looked like a miniature version of Cole..Wow,sorry for the LONG story.They were all just great cats,and as sappy as it sounds,to this day,I still miss them all..RIP guys.

Yea that was pretty tragic.I heard about it on the news first.Condolences to the families of the deceased people involved.Thankfully no one on the ground was injured or killed.?

Hey Jerry,nice pic.

Found these pics of some race bikes i had.Yea there diecast,but i added some detailing.

Oh man,again I forgot about a song.Your absolutely right Bogger,Simple Man is such a great song…And it’s too bad we lost Neil Peart so young.And obviously after his very untimely death,that was the end of Rush.☹️RIP Neil.?Another great song not listed is Iron Butterfly’s “In a gadda da vida,”.

Mmmm,yummy Thanksgiving meal.But it’s really easy to prepare,if you don’t want to carve the turkey.?

I should add that the picture of the torn apart dashboard was actually a picture i took when the heater core was being fixed on my Jeep Cherokee.??

So the other day I was going through my phone and found even some more of my drag racing builds over the past couple of years,along with some real cars that influenced the builds.However, I must admit that the orange and tan Mustang,were not built by me,but rather they were seen and admired at a local model contest a few years ago.IMO,the orange Mustang might be one of the best drag racing models I’ve ever seen.?Hope you like the pics. Thanks.

Oh man,I knew i’d find out where that squeaking noise in my dashboard was coming from.

Oh how nice these Special edition Mark 7s were.

Pretty cool.

Deleted,nevermind.I’ll probably get booted off of here for posting what i was going to post.
